SUMMARY:Treasuring the Feminine - open conversations
DESCRIPTION:Three evening talks with Marcia Dechen Wangmo (Marcia Binder Schmidt)\, Elizabeth McDougal\, Sarah H. Jacoby and Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel. \nWhat is the feminine principle? Is gender relevant in a tradition focused on non-duality? Who are the great female Buddhist teachers and practitioners?

SUMMARY:Self Forgiveness in the Light of Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Discover how to live with a lighter\, kinder heart. Many of us carry beliefs that we’re unworthy of love or beyond forgiveness\, leaving us trapped in guilt and self-blame. But punishing ourselves only deepens our suffering and prevents us from realizing our natural state. Through insight\, compassion\, and guided meditations\, you’ll learn to soften your “inner critic\,” release false beliefs\, and understand why you can let yourself off the hook—all of which frees your heart. As you cultivate forgiveness and compassion for yourself\, you’ll naturally feel a genuine compassion and understanding for others—and the world. \nAbout Christine \nChristine Longaker is a pioneer of the hospice movement and author of Facing Death and Finding Hope \, translated into 9 languages. She’s  co-author of Are You Ready and of published research on the benefits of Spiritual Care Training. She founded Rigpa in the USA in 1981\, the Spiritual Care Education Program in 1993\, and co-produced an in-depth accredited Contemplative Palliative Care training at Naropa University.

SUMMARY:Abhidharma: A talk by Dominique Side
DESCRIPTION:PARTNER EVENT BY OCEAN\nFor the Milinda Talks Resource Group \nAlthough much of the Abhidharma is often seen as boring and difficult\, our approach will be quite the opposite\, showing the relevance of these topics for people today. This will be of interest to anyone curious about Buddhist thought and how and why it can relieve our suffering. \nThis session will present the main principles of the Buddhist perspective on human beings and the world as found in Vasubandhu’s seminal work the Abhidharmakosha. It will include themes that are taught within the Four Noble Truths such as the nature of a person\, the afflictions\, karma\, the Buddhist path and nirvana.

SUMMARY:Vajrayana from a Sutrayana Perspective: A talk by Rigpa Teacher Lily Ng
DESCRIPTION:PARTNER EVENT BY OCEAN\nFor the Milinda Talks Resource Group \nThis talk explores the perspective of The Essence of Clear Light\, Mipham Rinpoche’s commentary that provides an overview of the Guhyagarbha tantra\, focusing on the importance of the Sutrayana path. \nIt invites us to reconsider the foundations of practice—not as something to move beyond\, but as something we come to recognize as essential and never leave behind. By cultivating renunciation\, compassion\, and the understanding of emptiness\, we build a path that is both grounded and far-reaching. \nIt also points to the importance of understanding view not as something merely objective or conceptual\, but as something to be realized and embodied within our own experience. \nEspecially in the context of Vajrayana practice\, this perspective highlights how these foundations give direction\, stability\, and authenticity to the path. \nThe session offers a space to reflect on how these qualities support a more meaningful and genuinely transformative approach to practice and life.
