A Turning on the three jewels....
An excerpt from Khenpo Samdrup's
"Compendium of knowledge"

khenpo

"The Buddha's teachings, are not exclusively practiced by Buddhists, nor are they beneficial only for people who are religious Buddhist practitioners. The true meaning of Dharma is that which provides inner happiness and peace. The point of practicing Dharma is to develop inner happiness and peace.True happiness can only come from within. It can only be developed inwardly- it can never really come from outer things like material objects or outer circumstances. We can study the Buddha's teaching to develop that true happiness."
KHENPO SAMDRUP

Gar Drolma Buddhist Center was founded in 2002 by His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche, a high lama in the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. We offer many weekly programs which are intended to assist the spiritual development of experienced practitioners as well as new students. The center has authentic Buddhist teachers, both local and visiting, who represent an authentic and unbroken lineage of Buddhist training.

Khenpo will be teaching on White Tara this evening. Studying the practice of White Tara is beneficial for all levels of practioners. White Tara is particularly associated with dispelling obstacles to life span. So, she is a longevity deity, and she accomplishes the enlightened activities of the Buddha. Then she can help beings to accomplish whatever they need and also to avert whatever obstacles, particularly the obstacle of “life span.”
