SUMMARY:Heart Sutra Practice and Teachings with Lama Tashi
DESCRIPTION:Lama Tashi will share his multiphonic chanting and guide a group recitation of the Heart Sutra\, the best-known practice text of Mahayana Buddhism\, and provide teachings on this practice.  As part of the larger ancient Prajnaparamita (perfection of wisdom) Sutras\, the Heart Sutra’s deep and profound meaning is practiced and studied in order to embody the brilliance of wisdom and compassion\, which is beyond all words. \nCopies of the Sutra will be provided for those who wish to join in the recitation.

SUMMARY:Himalayan Melodies Meet Western Music: Buddhist Songs of Celebration and Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Jefferson Tibetan Society\, in partnership with Unity\, presents a special musical program with Lama Tashi that involves Tibetan mantras with Lama Tashi’s chanting\, in combination with Western instruments.  These are traditional tunes from his Himalayan home region of Arunachal Pradesh in India\, where as a child he participated in the community gatherings to celebrate a spiritual holy day that occurred at the end of the growing season.  The ritual master performed a puja to celebrate the harvest\, and the entire village joined in the chanting.  This will be a celebration of that tradition where participating members will be able to join in the chanting.   \nLama Tashi has worked with Western musicians to create song sheets with English phonetics of Tibetan verses\, which you can use to join in the chanting. Lama Tashi will discuss these verses and then lead the group in chanting them with instrumental accompaniment. If you would like music in bass clef or for a transposing instrument\, please send an email with “Lama Tashi” as the subject to Lyle at themusicroomonmain@gmail.com. \nThese are photos of Thembang\, Lama Tashi’s home village in Arunachal Pradesh\, India: \n \nHow to Register\nTo pay by credit card\, register with the “Tickets” option below using Stripe as the payment method.
