On the Western [Gregorian] Calendar] Friday 12th February marked the first day of the Tibetan and Chinese New Year. It is the Year of the Ox, traditionally considered to be bring calmness and stability, to be welcomed following the turbulence of 2020. In the previous post, Rinpoche offers reminders in his aspiration prayer to set the focus of the mind on effortless harmony and peace, love and joy - the ultimate objective of dharma practice, as in The Four Immeasurables.
Rinpoche will begin a new series of teachings on the Bodhisattvas Way of life, the Bodhicharyavatara, on Thursday February 18th, summarising the 10 chapters in weekly sessions until July. The series is free but a donation can be made if you wish, to Tibet House, who are hosting the event. Please click on the link for details. The teachings will also be made available on the Bodhicharya Archive.
There will be more teachings from HH 17th Karmapa, Orgyen Trinley Dorje, on the life of the 8th Karmapa, Mikyo Dorje starting on Monday, 15th February, daily for one month until 14th March and details of those can be found here.
