The Emaho Foundation is pleased to announce that Yangsi Rinpoche will be giving the Lojong Teaching Saturday January 8th from 10am-4pm and on Sunday January 9th from 11am-3pm Yangsi Rinpoche will be offering the White Tara empowerment.   Both events will take place at Emaho Center.

The Lojong teachings, or Verses on Transforming the Mind, are one of the most important texts in Tibetan Buddhism.  This profound teaching helps us transform our everyday problems and adverse circumstances into favorable conditions on the spiritual path.  The Lojong teachings help us to gain a deeper understanding of the value of developing the extraordinary attitude of wishing all beings well, as it helps open our hearts to find our compassion for others, think more positively about ourselves, and live happier lives in general.

Yangsi Rinpoche will guide us step-by-step through this path of transformation, demonstrating how to cultivate wisdom and compassion in our hectic everyday lives, and use this path to overcome difficulties and find happiness for ourselves and others.

In addition, we are pleased to announce that Yangsi Rinpoche has graciously offered to give the White Tara Empowerment on Sunday from 11am to approximately 3pm.  This is a rare opportunity to receive this blessing from a true lineage master. 

White Tara is a feminine emanation of enlightened compassion, one whose activity of peaceful wisdom alleviates the suffering of sentient beings. When taken with the best possible motivation, receiving the White Tara empowerment becomes a condition to live a long, happy, and healthy life. By identifying with the compassionate aspect of White Tara in meditation, we are able to remove the obstacles that create suffering in our lives and the lives of others.  White Tara practice bestows us with longevity and the courage to see things in new ways.

For those who do not wish to take the empowerment, the initiation can be taken as a blessing.  For everyone involved, regardless of the level of participation, the White Tara teaching serves as a universal tool to cultivate compassion in oneself.

Yangsi Rinpoche was born in Kathmandu, Nepal in 1968. At the age of ten, he entered Sera Je Monastery in South India, and in 1995 graduated with the highest degree of Geshe Lharampa. In 1998, whishing to benefit Western students of the Buddhadharma, Rinpoche came to the United States to reside at Deer Park Buddhist Center in Wisconsin. Since that time he has taught extensively in the United States, central American, Europe and Asia. Rinpoche has students throughout the world. He is the author of Practicing the Path, a commentary on the LamRim Chenmo.

In the spirit of the Dharma, Emaho Foundation is pleased to offer this teaching without required admission fees. Doing so, of course, is not without costs.
