Guru Yoga
Guru
Yoga is known as the root of the realizations. Most Tibetan Buddhists
do Guru Yoga practice every day at the beginning of their meditation.
The practice fosters perception of one's own mind as indivisible
from the nature of the Guru's mind. This teaching is on the relationship
between teacher and disciple, and how to relate to the practice
that involves one's guru. Guru Yoga is also the fourth practice
of Ngondro and known as the axle of the vehicle that takes us to
enlightenment.

Tara Empowerment
White
Tara has been the main deity practice of many well-known Buddhist
scholars and siddhas in both India and Tibet and has been practiced
by all four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. White Tara's special
function is to promote long life, strength, and health. She’s
pictured as being endowed with seven eyes to symbolize the watchfulness
of the compassionate mind. She is also known to Tibetan Buddhists
as a protector and Liberator.
Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche was born in 1922 in Eastern Tibet. He entered
Thrangu Monastery at the age of twelve, where he underwent many years
of training, long retreats, pilgrimages, and philosophical studies
and received “Choje Lama” (superior dharma master) title
from His Holiness the 16th Karmapa.
Today Rinpoche is the abbot of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra Monastery
in Woodstock, New York, and has many western students through out
the world.
