"Sangha" refers to our dharma companions on the path. This includes practicing together, which is said to multiply the effects for each person by the number of participants. Please join our group of regular participants for the Meditation Hour. Khenpo Dean leads a one-hour practice including chanting, a variety of deity practices, a short dharma talk and blessing. This is an opportunity for group practice in a convenient weekly format. Everyone is welcome to attend. FREE.
The Meditation Hour is now available at the Awam Tibetan Buddhist Institute Google+ Hangout On Air each week. You will need to set up a Google+ account ahead of time. You may then join the Hangout at 11:15 am (PT; NOTE - Arizona does not do daylight savings time). The Meditation Practice Manual is available on our website at www.AwamInstitute.org so you may chant and practice with us online.

INNATE HAPPINESS: REALIZING COMPASSION-EMPTINESS

INNATE HAPPINESS: REALIZING COMPASSION-EMPTINESS
An eBook by Khenpo Drimed Dawa
Khenpo Dean is known for his concise, clear explanations of the dharma. Innate Happiness provides background and a series of concise, incremental steps toward compassion-emptiness - enlightenment - for Western householders in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It is largely adapted from the teachings of Padmasambhava, the second Buddha. The book guides the reader through a brief history of Buddhism in India and Tibet, as well as its major principles. This is followed by 52 concise daily practices on the Path of Individual Liberation, the Path of Altruism, the Path of Tantra, and the Path of Great Perfection. Each path takes the reader through the Three Teachings: ethics, meditation, and wisdom. These are then summarized into an explanation of the innate happiness we know as enlightenment, the realization of compassion-emptiness. Thus, it covers a complete cycle for study, contemplation, meditation and realization. Each practice is highly suitable for the busy lives of Westerners with little time for formal meditation. This is also the core text for our Natural Liberation classes.
The eBook is available from Amazon.com for only $9.99. Free readers are available for most computers and other devices. May ALL beings be happy!

Bodhicitta, the excellent and precious mind.
Where it is unborn, may it arise.
Where it is born, may it not decline,
But ever increase, higher and higher.
