Sukhasiddhi Sundays
Join us for practices and teachings for students at all levels of experience each Sunday morning from April 26th to May 31st.
Dharma Training Program
Beginning April 26, 2020, Sukhasiddhi Foundation will offer a new cycle of our Dharma Training Program.
This program introduces participants to the principles and practices foundational to Vajrayana Buddhism, offering an opportunity to explore and deepen dharma practice, to participate in a spiritual community, and to practice a spiritual path in the midst of work and family commitments.
Upcoming Events
The first of four sessions that will introduce us to the tools Shantideva offers in the Buddhist classic The Bodhicharyavatara or The Way of the Bodhisattva. This text is one of the most loved and referenced texts in Buddhism, and we will learn why! This session will focuse on how do we take hold of Bodhicitta, the Awakened Heart? How can everything we do, say and think be our offerings of altruistic intention for the betterment of all sentient beings
Lama Palden will be giving the formal refuge vow ceremony online for those who would like to take the formal refuge vow for the first time, for those who would like to renew their vow, and all who would like to witness the ceremony. The Refuge Ceremony goes back to the time of the Buddha. It is a ceremony where we formally make a vow to turn our body, speech and mind towards awakening, towards our true nature or Buddha Nature.
Lama Drupgyu and Lama Döndrup will lead a 5-day online retreat exploring the different dimensions of Mahamudra. Mahamudra is a practice that leads one to the experience of the open, luminous, pure nature of mind. But though its always with us, it can be a challenge to experience. Join Lama Drupgyu and Lama Döndrup as they presentsan invaluable systematic approach that skillfully navigates the practitioner beyond these challenges and into a direct experience of awakened mind
Lama Palden will be giving the Medicine Buddha empowerment online. Medicine Buddha is the embodiment of awakened healing energy. The Medicine Buddha empowerment is a powerful blessing for healing, dispelling sickness, and for awakening the innate healing wisdom that lies within every individual. All are welcome to attend the empowerment, but having taken formal refuge is a requirement. Lama Palden will give refuge on Saturday, June 20th.
