Dorje Lopon Dr. Hun Lye offers this series on these profound vajra-songs by integrating the teachings with a vajrayāna sadhana (meditation liturgy) – The Guruyoga of Milarepa – arranged by His Holiness Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang, the supreme-head of Drikung Kagyu Lineage. Instead of the usual way of practicing the sadhana – which often emphasizes the chanting (or reading, if done in English) – Dr. Lye introduces a more contemplative and experience-based approach to practicing this sadhana.

“Generating the Bodhi Mind”—the supreme resolve to attain full awakening for the benefit of all beings—is the formal commitment to living altruistically from this lifetime and into all future lifetimes. It is thus a most profound moment in one’s journey to full awakening, to the state of buddha. The Drikung Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in particular has a unique and uncommon tradition of bestowing the relative and ultimate aspects of the Bodhi Mind in a deeply moving and profound 2-day ceremony known as the “Drikung Thuk-kyed Chenmo” (“The Great Drikung Generation of the Noble Mind”), rarely offered in the West. In this series, Khenchen Rinpoché will share with us his own experience and realization of the Bodhi Mind (bodhicitta) while bestowing the Bodhisattva Vow in the distinct tradition of Drikung Kagyu.

Over 4 Sunday afternoons, Dr. Hun Lye will help you learn the
basics of meditation as practiced and taught by the historical Buddha.
Citta-bhāvana or the development or cultivation of the heart-mind lies at the
core of Buddha’s way of meditating. It is an easy and natural method that works
simultaneously with practices of openness of heart (dana/generosity) and
non-harming (shila/ethics).

In this four-part series, Dorje Lopon Dr. Hun Lye shares a unique way of applying the Buddha’s teachings in a chaotic world so that we may find freedom and happiness regardless of our outer environment.

These talks are based on the famous Tibetan lojong text, “Seven Point Mind Training,” which advocates a radical shift from self-centeredness to other-centeredness in the midst of every life, using difficult circumstances to help us be free from the bondage of stress, depression, and frustration.

During our weekly Saturday practice at Urban Dharma, Dorje Lopon Dr. Hun Lye gave a teaching within the context of an Avalokiteshvara group practice.  The topic of the teaching was inspired by it being “Holy Saturday” according to the Christian calendar, and thus the title: “Holy Saturday: Compassion Harrowing Of Hell.”
