These 59 Verses outline the qualities of the Bodhicitta Mind and how to develop it step-by-step through cultivating an awareness of the inner
source of liberation and enlightenment. Bringing these verses into your practice can help you attain happiness, mental, emotional and spiritual balance, and maintain harmony and communication within human society.
The ability to maintain noble intentions and compassion, a warm heart, and loving kindness can be achieved. For those who have received tantric empowerments, learning about the Bodhisattva Mind and receiving actual training is of great benefit.
This teaching is part of the Kunsang Gar Wisdom Program’s “mental development” section. The topic of Bodhisattva Training is a dominant tenet in the Mahayana traditions of ancient Bön and Tibetan Buddhism.

Dedication and Aspiration Prayer for the Anniversary of Death
October 31, 2026 · Time TBA
On Line
Teacher: Geshe Dangsong Namgyal
This day of mindfulness of death is extremely important. In conjunction with this, we will perform a brief series of Dharma activities at Kunzang Gar. Specifically, we will recite a recently translated Bardo Prayer from Tibetan into another language, and we will perform a short gsur (incense offering) ritual for those who have passed away and are currently in the intermediate state. The benefits and purposes of the white gsur offering are vast. Among these, what is most relevant here in connection with the day of death is that, according to our own tradition, individuals who have died and have not yet found a new body remain in a constant state of fear and suffering. In particular, because they lack any means to obtain food, drink, and so forth, they are perpetually tormented by hunger and thirst. Therefore, through this gsur ritual, they receive the gift of food and drink. Along with that, much assistance that is certain to benefit them—such as providing protection and ensuring they find a favorable physical basis for their next life—arises from this gsur offering and the prayers. Since I will also provide an explanation of these points, which will enhance your understanding of your own traditional religion, I ask that everyone participate.
Special Teaching
A-Tri-Kalung Gyatso Part 1
The Ocean of Oral Transmissions of A-Tri
In person in Mexico City and online
Time: TBA
This is an instruction on how to engage in the authentic practice of the A-khrid bKa’-lung rGya-mSsho (The Ocean of Oral Transmissions of A-Tri), a compendium of Dzogchen preliminary practices taught by the holy master Shar Dza Tashi Gyaltsen, who passed away into the Great Rainbow Body in 1934.
Those who practice this must possess faith in the ancient scriptures and the great masters, conviction in future rebirths, and a genuine desire to train according to what is taught in the Dharma; they must certainly not be those who merely seek temporary physical and mental comfort.
The sequence of the lessons begins with properly relying upon a guru and reflecting on the difficulty of finding a human body endowed with freedoms and advantages (dal ’byor), and is then excellently divided into eleven chapters containing the essence of the instructions. Subsequently, there follow the successive stages of guidance for meditating on: impermanence; the sufferings of life; how good and bad actions produce good and bad results (karma); generating the perfectly pure mind bodhicitta; and taking refuge to be protected from temporary and ultimate fears and hardships.
Furthermore, this includes the methods for purifying negative karma that are even more profound than those: reciting the hundred-syllable mantra, offering the mandala to accumulate merit, engaging in Guru Yoga, and becoming proficient in the practice of transference of consciousness (’pho ba).
This ultimate educational framework is an authentic and complete manual for diligent practitioners to realize the profound realization of the Dharma. As we begin with the first lesson of this structured curriculum, the teachings and oral transmissions (lung) will be announced therein, providing an opportunity for interested international practitioners to participate.
