Her Eminence
Sakya Jetsun Kusho-la.
Born in 1938, Her Eminence is the older sister of His Holiness Sakya Trizin,
the head of the Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism, and also the mother
of Luding Khen Rinpoche, the current throne holder of the Ngorpa sub-sect
of the Sakyapas. Her Eminence has received teachings from some of the
greatest Tibetan Buddhist master of the 20th Century and has undergone
the same rigorous training as His Holiness Sakya Trizin. She is a highly
revered teacher who skillfully combines work, motherhood and a lay life
with a deep commitment to spiritual practice. She is only the third female
in the long history of the Sakyapas to have transmitted the Lam Dre teachings,
which is the highest Tantric teaching in the Sakya tradition.
Jetsumma
did this at age 16! Her Eminence has traveled the world bringing both
students and interested individuals the words of the Buddha, while embodying
the very meaning of those words in her practice and daily life.
Jetsunma, considered an emanation of Vajroyogini, started her training
at six, began teaching at eleven, became a fully empowered Sakya lineage
holder at eighteen, and has spent the rest of her life unselfishly working
for the benefit of others. We are so fortunate to have such a highly realised
teacher to visit us in Cairns.
Uncommon
White Tara Initiation on
Monday September 15 at 7-9 pm.
Her Eminence
will give the Initiation on Sarasvati on
Tuesday 16 at 7-9 pm.
Sarasvati
is the patron of scholars and artisits, bestowing knowledge, eleoquence
and creativity. She is a goddess of meditation for increasing intelligence.
White Tara, the feminine energy of the Buddhas, is said to have originated
from the tears of compassion of the deity Avalokiteshvara.
Her practice
assists us to increase our spiritual vitality, health and long life, as
well as our ability to work compassionately for others. It also helps
to overcome the fear of death. This special uncommon White Tara practrice
was passed from Atisha to the kadampa master and then to the Sakya Tradition
which has maintained an unbroken lineage to the present day.
This is one of the foundation practices of Khacho Yulo Ling Buddhist centre
and practitioners meet every Sunday t o share this wonderful practice.
White Tara brought me to the Dharma and to our precious teacher, Lama
Choedak Rinpoche. Since receiving it in 1999 I have maintained it as a
daily practice and attribute the energy for the work I do to Tara's blessings.
Cost for each workshop is $40, bookings essential.
