SUMMARY:Yidam Practice: From Complexity to Intimacy with Lama Yeshe Chödrön - Half-Day + Potluck Lunch
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to welcome Lama Karma Yeshe Chödrön of Prajna Fire as a guest teacher this week\, who will be teaching on moving from complexity to intimacy with Yidam practice. \nWith its richness of imagery and detail\, Yidam practice can appear mysterious and otherworldly — at once alluring and daunting. This talk offers a shift of perspective\, viewing that very complexity as an invitation to intimacy with our own direct experience. When we engage imagery\, mantra\, and symbolism as an array of instruments at our disposal\, yidam practice becomes a vivid exploration of mind’s sacred creativity\, supporting our path to embodying the true nature of mind. \nPlease join us for a potluck at the noon break! \nLama Karma Yeshe Chödrön is a scholar\, teacher\, and translator in the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism\, and a long-term student of Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche. Before studying Buddhism\, she completed graduate degrees in biology and law\, and worked as a litigator in Miami and Silicon Valley. \nSince 2005\, she has taught and translated Dharma texts and oral teachings from Tibetan to English for the Rigpe Dorje Institute for International Students at Pullahari Monastery in Nepal. Yeshe successfully completed the traditional Kagyu lineage three-year cloistered retreat at Vajra Vidya Retreat Center in Crestone\, Colorado in 2016\, under the auspices of Kyabje Thrangu Rinpoche. She then co-founded Prajna Fire\, an online global community aimed at sharing traditional methods for transmitting experiential understanding of Buddhadharma with Western students. Her writings have appeared in Lion’s Roar\, Buddhadharma\, and Tricycle. She is co-host of the Prajna Sparks podcast and two seasons of Opening Dharma Access: Listening to BIPOC teachers podcast. \nThis event is offered freely\, in the spirit of generosity.
