SUMMARY:Ciranda of Dharma
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]Ciranda do Darma was originally created in response to a request from Rinpoche that the children of the sangha receive an education in the principles of the Dharma. \nRinpoche strongly believed that the values of love and compassion for all beings could be taught even to the youngest children through stories. \nSince its establishment in 2002\, this method of demonstrating virtuous qualities through stories and group activities has been the main focus of Ciranda do Darma. \nChildren of all ages are welcome and must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times while at the Temple.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_cta h2="" h4="Programação" style="outline" color="juicy-pink" add_icon="left" i_icon_fontawesome="fa fa-calendar" i_color="white" i_background_style="rounded" i_background_color="juicy_pink" i_size="sm" i_on_border="true"]July 26 | 2:00pm to 3:30pm (UTC-3) \n\n• Storytime\n• Art activity\n• Meditation exercise[/vc_cta][vc_cta h2="" color="pink"]• For children of all ages\n• In-person only\n• No registration required\n• Donations welcome[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Study cycle: Does the guru drink bourbon?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text] \nStudy cycle on the book: Does the guru drink bourbon?\nLama Tsering will lead this study cycle on Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche's book\, which addresses various aspects of the teacher-student relationship through many stories and classic examples\, always emphasizing the importance of devotion to the teacher. \nThe meetings include reading the text\, comments by Lama Tsering\, and question and answer sessions. \n  \n“Choosing a guru and making the decision to follow him to enlightenment is as precarious\, exciting\, rewarding\, and destructive as falling in love and getting married. You know it's risky\, but that's exactly what breaks us in half and opens us up.” \nDzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche \n  \nThe sessions will take place on Thursdays and Sundays as part of an ongoing study\, but you can attend as many sessions as you can\, even if you missed previous ones. \nPrerequisite: having received an empowerment. \nIn-person and online. \nLive only. No recording will be available; that is\, you can only attend the teaching on the day it is given\, whether in person or online. \nYou must re-register for each new session. \nThe registration deadline is 12:00 PM (UTC-3) on the day of the teaching. \nFor more information\, write to: eventos@odsalling.org[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_cta h2="" color="grey" add_icon="left" i_icon_fontawesome="fas fa-calendar-alt" i_color="white" i_background_style="rounded" i_background_color="juicy_pink" i_on_border="true" css=".vc_custom_1783183400143{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}"]July\n\n16th and 30th\nThursdays\, 7 pm \n12th and 26th\nSunday\, 4 pm \n(All times UTC-3)[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=".vc_custom_1662557935092{margin-right: 3% !important;margin-left: 3% !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}"][vc_column][vc_toggle title=""]Drubchöd é uma prática elaborada e extensa\, que inclui a recitação de uma sadana\, mantras e danças rituais. \nUm Drubchöd possui oferendas tão elaboradas quanto as de um Drubchen\, porém em um período menor.[/vc_toggle][vc_btn title="Register here for July 26 - 4pm (UTC - 3)" style="custom" custom_background="#d14d42" custom_text="#ffffff" css_animation="none" custom_onclick="true" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fhome.odsalling.org%2Fen%2Fevento%2F90%2Finscricao"][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section i_type="material" i_icon_material="vc-material vc-material-mode_edit" add_icon="true" title="Registration" tab_id="1609961002822-fd4013d4-d4de"][vc_column_text]Your registration will be valid for July 26. \nThe offering fee is R$ 70. \nYou must re-register for each new meeting. \nPrerequisite: you must have received some empowerment. \nRegistration until July 26\, at noon (UTC-3).[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome="fas fa-calendar-alt" add_icon="true" title="Calendar and Schedule" tab_id="1609595260660-b5f95fed-c80d"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]July\n• 16th and 30th\nThursdays\, 7 pm \n• 12th and 26th\nSunday\, 4 pm \n(All times UTC-3)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome="fas fa-podcast" add_icon="true" title="Broadcasting and Translation" tab_id="1609595615803-4f0f77bb-690e"][vc_column_text]In person and online. \nLive only.

SUMMARY:Padma Dakini empowerment and teaching with Phakchok Rinpoche
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]The Odsal Ling sangha is delighted to welcome Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche in August. \nPhakchok Rinpoche will bestow the Padma Dakini empowerment from the Sevenfold Cycle of Profundity of the Chokling Tersar. Furthermore\, Rinpoche will offer brief heart advice for Vajrayana practitioners. \nPadma Dakini is a semi-wrathful wisdom dakini of the Lotus family\, embodying the enlightened activity of magnetizing. She is invoked to attract and harmonize beings\, circumstances\, and even the practitioner’s own mind with the Dharma. Through her practice\, all that is auspicious and supportive of the path—wisdom\, happiness\, health\, wealth\, and long life—is drawn forth\, gathering favorable conditions for the benefit of oneself and all beings. In this way\, practitioners are able to magnetize all siddhis: outwardly favorable circumstances\, inwardly realization\, and ultimately the recognition of the mind’s innate nature. \nThe Sevenfold Cycle of Profundity (Zabpa Kordün) was revealed by the great tertön Chokgyur Dechen Zhikpo Lingpa in the Fire Dragon Year (1856)\, with the assistance of his spiritual consort Sangyum Dechen Chödrön\, an emanation of Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal\, at the sacred site of Akanishta Karma. Later praised by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo as “wonderful\, profound\, and utterly complete in terms of tantras\, statements\, and instructions\,” these teachings form a central part of the Chokling Tersar lineage. Among them\, special emphasis is placed on the practice of Padma Dakini\, as it is through this practice that one can magnetize all siddhis and swiftly progress toward great realization. \nThere are no prerequisites.\nIn-person only.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_cta h2="" add_icon="left" i_icon_fontawesome="fas fa-calendar-alt" i_color="white" i_background_style="rounded" i_background_color="juicy_pink" i_size="sm" i_on_border="true"]August\, 13 \nStart time: 7:00 pm\nNo set end time \nUTC-3[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=".vc_custom_1662557935092{margin-right: 3% !important;margin-left: 3% !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}"][vc_column][vc_toggle title=""]Drubchöd é uma prática elaborada e extensa\, que inclui a recitação de uma sadana\, mantras e danças rituais. \nUm Drubchöd possui oferendas tão elaboradas quanto as de um Drubchen\, porém em um período menor.[/vc_toggle][vc_btn title="Pre-registration with accommodation and meals" style="custom" custom_background="#d14d42" custom_text="#ffffff" css_animation="none" custom_onclick="true" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FHpe485XXTm9eF2Pt8"][vc_column_text]PLEASE NOTE:\nDue to the limited number of lodging options at the temple\, the option to stay at Odsal Ling is initially intended only for people who do not live in São Paulo or the surrounding area. \nThose living in São Paulo and the surrounding area may also register in this category; however\, please be aware that these registrations will begin to be processed in approximately 7 days\, depending on remaining availability. \nAccommodation from August 13 to 14\nIncludes dinner on the 13th and breakfast on the 14th \n• Dormitory: R$ 328\n• Shared room: R$ 350\n• Suite: R$ 374 \nRegistration: by August 6\, at noon.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_btn title="Registration without accommodation and without meals - R$ 210" style="custom" custom_background="#d14d42" custom_text="#ffffff" css_animation="none" custom_onclick="true" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fhome.odsalling.org%2Fen%2Fevento%2F80%2Finscricao"][vc_column_text]Meals are available only to guests; there are no meal options for non-guests.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title="Biography" tab_id="1779495968263-9b586b80-cad6"][vc_column_text]Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche was recognized as the seventh reincarnation of one of the principal masters of Taklung Martang Monastery in Riwoche\, Tibet.

SUMMARY:Niungne Retreat with Chagdud Khadro
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]The practice of the Niungne fasting ritual is a simple yet powerful means of dispelling obstacles to physical and mental well-being. It leads the practitioner to the essence of Avalokiteshvara’s supreme secret\, the compassionate embodiment of all buddhas. \nBy reciting prayers\, repeating Avalokiteshvara’s mantra\, and offering prostrations\, all kinds of negative actions are purified\, and conditions favorable to spiritual growth flourish. \nBy adopting the eight temporary precepts (vows)\, the conditions are created to experience happiness in this and future lives and\, ultimately\, to attain enlightenment. \nPrerequisite: to have received Amitabha empowerment\, from the Dudjom lineage\, or Cherenzig empowerment\, from the lineage of Drimed Kachod Wangpo. \nThe Amitabha empowerment will be granted on August 22. \nDuring this retreat\, there will be 4 cycles of fasting practice. Partial participation is available. \nPlease read the following information carefully about how the retreat will work before registering! \nThe foundation of the Nyungne practice we will be doing is a Vajrayana Buddhist sadhana. For this reason\, it is recommended that participants already have some familiarity with this type of meditation\, as there will be no teaching sessions. The focus of the retreat is the practice itself. \nPlease also consider your physical and mental health in light of a long fast like this one. \nThe austerities of Niungne include extreme thirst\, hunger\, fatigue\, and changes in body temperature. In addition\, compassion for the suffering of others deepens and can become almost unbearable. \nThe Buddha’s Dharma offers other methods of purification and merit-generation; therefore\, participants should carefully consider whether the discomforts and challenges of the Niungne practice are appropriate at this point in their spiritual journey. \nThere is an alternative way to participate: NIENGNE\, which involves partial fasting. See below for more information. \nQuestions or further information: eventos@odsalling.org[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_cta h2="" add_icon="left" i_icon_fontawesome="fas fa-calendar-alt" i_color="white" i_background_style="rounded" i_background_color="juicy_pink" i_size="sm" i_on_border="true"]Schedule: \nAmitaba empowerment\nAugust 22 \nPractice\nAugust 23–31[/vc_cta][vc_cta h2="" color="juicy-pink" add_icon="left" i_icon_fontawesome="fas fa-exclamation-circle" i_color="white" i_background_style="rounded" i_background_color="juicy_pink" i_size="sm" i_on_border="true"]Registration for the Amitabha empowerment only \nClick here \n[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=".vc_custom_1662557935092{margin-right: 3% !important;margin-left: 3% !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}"][vc_column][vc_toggle title=""]Drubchöd é uma prática elaborada e extensa\, que inclui a recitação de uma sadana\, mantras e danças rituais. \nUm Drubchöd possui oferendas tão elaboradas quanto as de um Drubchen\, porém em um período menor.[/vc_toggle][vc_btn title="Pre-register here - NYUNGNE" color="juicy-pink" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FQRfKS3pzX8koqX7R6%20"][vc_column_text]This retreat requires that all participants stay at Odsal Ling.
