Manikarnika: Кто бы сомневался, что последует именно такой фортель... Сурадж, а пиплы из России приезжают на мероприятия буддийские в Штаты? По акциям Аэрофлота можно весьма дернуть недели на 2. http://www.aeroflot.ru/info.asp?ob_no=8974
Suraj: Я видел таких поломникков только на ретритах Н.Н.Р. да и то 1-2 человека. Вы не забывайте, что самое дорогое - это проживание (минимум $70 в день в гостинице или дорме центра [которые обычно гораздо хуже]) плюс питание, плюс добраться из аэропорта. Я уже молчу про расходы на месте, подношения и иногда навязчивые "вымогательства" организаторов мероприятий. Тут пожалуй выгоднее ехать на ретриты с уплачеными наперёд проживанием и питанием. Но опять же ,- это минимум 1000 плюс дорога. Мне трудно себе прествавить недельный ретрит за который бы я был готов выложить 2-3 штуки...
Manikarnika: Тогда понятно, что с расцветом Дхармы... Очень хотелось всегда к кхенпо Палдену Шерабу и Цевангу Донгьялу. (

Suraj: We are very happy to announce that H.E. Garchen Rinpoche will be in NYC on January 28-29 at Tibet House where he will be conferring a White Tara empowerment and doing the White Tara practice with us. This is a very rare and fortunate opportunity to practice with H.E. Garchen Rinpoche. We will be practicing the White Tara text that was revealed to the previous incarnation of H.E. Garchen Rinpoche in a dream. The practice is suitable for all levels of practitioners and there will be some time allocated to questions regarding this practice on Sunday afternoon. White Tara offers peace, prosperity, health and long life. She is depicted with the body of an older woman that is the brilliant white of a thousand autumn moons. She has a third eye in her forehead that symbolizes her vision of the unity of ultimate reality while simultaneously seeing the relative and dualistic world with her ‘usual’ two eyes. Her hands and feet also have eyes, showing that whatever she gives and wherever she goes is governed by her ultimate wisdom and compassion. She is the protective, helpful and comforting mother whose kindness, generosity and protection toward those tossed in the ocean of samsara knows no bounds.

Garchen Rinpoche H.E. Garchen Rinpoche is known around the world for his great kindness, vast realization and teachings from the heart, both profound and humble; a Drikung Kagyu lama who was known in the thirteenth century as the Siddha Gar Chodingpa, a heart disciple of Kyobpa Jigten Sumgon. In ancient India, he had incarnated as Mahasiddha Aryadeva, the lotus-born disciple of the great Nagarjuna. In the seventh century, he was known as Lonpo Gar, the minister of the Tibetan Dharma King Songsten Gampo. He was recognized and enthroned in eastern Tibet by the former Drikung Kyabgon Zhiwe Lodro. Studying and practicing under the direction of the Siddha Chime Dorje, Garchen Rinpoche received vast and profound instructions on the preliminary practices (ngöndro), the fivefold practice of Mahamudra and the six yogas of Naropa. At the age of 22, he was imprisoned for 20 years during the political turmoil of China’s Cultural Revolution. While in the labor camp, he received meditation instruction from his root lama, the Nyingma master Khenpo Munsel. Enduring hardship and practicing secretly, Garchen Rinpoche attained realization of the lama’s wisdom mind. In recent years, Garchen Rinpoche has made great effort to rebuild the Drikung Kagyu monasteries in Eastern Tibet, reestablish the Buddhist teachings, build two boarding schools for local children in eastern Tibet, while at the same time wholeheartedly giving profound teachings of the lineage to others.

Suraj: K A G Y U D Z A M L I N G K U N C H A B P r e s e n t s: Lama Norlha Rinpoche Meditation Master of the Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, the abbot of Kagyu Thubten Choling Monastery and director of Kyabje Dorje Chang Kalu Rinpoche's Dharma centers in the eastern United States. On Saturday February 3, 2007 Rinpoche will teach about the bardo and give the empowerment which connects those who receive it with the mandalas of the Peaceful and Wrathful Ones, and thereby confers benefits that endure through this lifetime, in the bardo and beyond it. B A R D O : The Interval of The After- Death State { T e a c h i n g } 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The ancient traditions of Tibetan Buddhism include many techniques for experiencing the continuity of consciousness, for tracing it through waking and dreaming states, and beyond those, through apparent unconsciousness, into the bardo or interval that all beings undergo between lives. The Buddhadharma describes the dawning of the Mandalas of the Peaceful, then Wrathful Ones in the bardo after death. S H I T R O : The Peaceful and Wrathful Ones of the Bardo { E m p o w e r m e n t } 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Buddhist Refuge will be offered before the empowerment ceremony. Refuge is encouraged, but not required for this empowerment--which can be taken as a blessing.

Sunday, March 11th 10:00am-5:00pm Workshop 43 Guidelines to Enlightenment (Complete Teaching with Practices) For the first time in the western world, Latri Khenpo Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche will give the teaching 43-Guidelines to Enlightenment. Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche is a Bön Abbott and lineage holder of Lhatri Monastery in the Kham/Dege area of eastern Tibet. This teaching was composed by the 21st Abbot of Menri Monastery, Sherab Gongyal. The teaching will help us to deepen our understanding of the essence of life, the truth of Karmic cause and result, the wisdom of love and compassion and the qualities of virtuous deeds. It will help us apply the teaching in action to overcome any critical situation in daily life, strengthen inner power, instead of ruining or wasting life. It also teaches us how important it is to ground spirituality within our life.

The teaching completes with how and when to apply gradual development of self realization, and ultimately achievement of Enlightenment to free all sentient beings from the misery of cyclic existence.

Updates will soon be posted at www.ddcv.com BIOGRAPHY for Venerable Traga RinpocheThe Venerable Traga Rinpoche was born in 1954 into a long lineage of great Tantric Yogis. His paternal ancestry traces back to Rigzin Godem (1337-1408), the discoverer of the Northern Treasures of the Nyingmapa School. Rinpoche’s mother was a true Wisdom Dakini who recited Tara’s mantra almost constantly. Very special signs were seen at Rinpoche’s birth. At age 4, the 7th Lhotual Khakhyab Dorje recognized him as the reincarnation of Togden Tsondrue Tharchin (xxxx to xxxx). Due to the political unrest in Tibet, there was no opportunity to enthrone him and teach him Dharma., so Rinpoche studied Tibetan Medicine for 8 years and both studied and taught the Tibetan language. Traga Rinpoche is an accomplished Dzogchen and Mahamudra master. He has received profound foundational as well as the most advanced teachings from some of the greatest living masters of Tibetan Buddhism including His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche, His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche, Khenchen Jigme Phuntsog and many others. He has completed over 10 years of retreats. From Garchen Rinpoche, Traga Rinpoche received teachings on all Drikung Kagyu texts, the five-fold Mahamudra, Dzogchen Yangzab teachings, and many profound pith instructions. He did a Dzogchen Yangzab retreat at Lho Miyel Gon Monastery. In early 1984, Traga Rinpoche received full gelong ordination from the Nyingma Master Khenpo Munsel, who gave him the detailed teachings on Dzogchen Tregchöd. Khenpo Munsel gently looked at Traga Rinpoche and said, “Your karmic propensity is to practice Dzogchen. I am your karmic lama. If you can meditate, you have today found the way to liberation in one life. You will never find something like this even if you went to look for it with your horse’s hooves encased in steel. Spend one year near me and meditate.” For the next seven years, Traga Rinpoche did retreat near Khenpo Munsel, and practiced Tregchöd, Thögal, practices of working with the vital energies, and other advanced practices. Rinpoche has received and practiced many different lineages of the Six Yogas of Naropa. He studied and practiced Vajrayogini, Marpa's Guru Yoga and the Six Yogas with a Karma Kagyu Togden known for flying from mountain top to mountain top. Later he received and practiced the profound Drikung path of the Six Yogas and Mahamudra with Drupon Tenzin Nyima. Rinpoche has also studied with the Drugpa Kagyu Togdens of Tashi Jong. In 1990, Traga Rinpoche went to see Khenchen Jigme Phuntsog. For 100 days, he received teachings and meditated. Some of the teachings/empowerments included the Dakini Heart Eseence teachings, Awareness-expression Empowerment, and the Khregs Chod, written by Khenchen Jigme Phuntsog himself. Traga Rinpoche went to Chamdo in 1992 where Khenchen Karma Tseten asked him to give oral transmissions to the monks and nuns of Trachog Gon Monastery. Rinpoche was named “Lung Lama” or “Transmission Lama” by the Khenpos and Tulkus of the monastery. In December, 1993, Traga Rinpoche arrived at Jangchub Ling Monastery in India where he met His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche. His Holiness gave him, among others, the Chakrasamvara Empowerment and transmission of the Five-Fold Mahamudra, He also received the wheel of Life Scripture, one of 18 major scriptures of the Mind Section of Dzogchen. Rinpoche then spent one year meditating at Lapchi, a place of special power where Milarepa had meditated. In 1998, Lamchen Gyalpo Rinpoche, determined to make Traga Rinpoche’s vast knowledge and profound experiential understanding of the highest level of Dzogchen teachings accessible to as many students as possible, enthroned him as “Lopon Rinpoche” (Precious Master), with lavish praise for his hard work and outstanding achievements. His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche selected Traga Rinpoche as the Retreat Master and Resident Lama at the Garchen Buddhist Institute, and asked his students to have full confidence in him, “just as I have full confidence in him." Garchen Rinpoche has also specifically said, "It may seem like there are many great Lamas out there. Yet Traga Rinpoche is like gold. Even if put in a burning fire, he just glows." These teachings are sponsored by Namchag Mebar Dzong/DDCV

Suraj: COMPLETE BREATHING COURSE WITH FABIO ANDRICO IN NEW YORK APRIL 2007 One of the most important aspects for a healthy life dwells in the art of harmonious breathing. In general we all know how to inhale and exhale, but we usually do it in an incorrect way because our breathing is connected and conditioned by our mind, which is often confused, distracted and tense. For this reason it is necessary to coordinate our breathing so that the Prana energy, which circulates in our body and is related to our energy, can be controlled, balanced and harmonized. Our mental and physical health is related to the condition of our energy. Knowing how to apply a deep, relaxed and harmonious complete breathing is the first milestone on the way to achieving this important goal.

Suraj: Вадим, тебе может быть очень кстати... :) [b]Bar-do thos-grol chen-mo, The Great Liberation by hearing in the Intermediate States.Venerable Khenpo Sonam Topgyal Rinpoche 2007 New York Teachings of the Taklung Kagyu seat at Riwoche, in Tibet. Khenpo's great-uncle Nora Rinpoche, is one of the earliest Tibetan masters to spread the teachings throughout modern China. From the time he was very young Khenpo Rinpoche was brought into the study of sacred dharma and received teaching and guidance. After being forced into exile, Rinpoche studied closely with the most illustrious masters of the Kagyu and Nyingma teachings, including His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, Chadral Rinpoche Sanjay Dorje, Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, and many others. Through establishing Riwoche Tibetan Buddhist Temple in Toronto, Khenpo Sonam continues to work tirelessly and without fanfare to benefit beings and preserve the dharma.] This coming May, Khenpo Sonam Topgyal Rinpoche is back to New York to give two evening teachings in Manhattan follow by a weekend retreat at Blazing Wisdom Institute, on Karma Lingpa¡¯s Bar-do thos-grol chen-mo, The Great Liberation by hearing in the Intermediate States. These teachings comprehend both highest level development stage yoga practice, and highest completion stage yoga practice (both with and without signs). They present a complete path, from beginning to end. Indeed, they present a fundamental framework for understanding the nature of sentient experience, as the bardo teachings reveal that we are always in transition, passing from one phase of experience to another. Each interval of experience provides its own unique opportunities to cultivate a deeper understanding of and more profound way of interacting with phenomena. The teachings truly open the doorway to awakening for the wise and diligent, and provide manifold blessing through contact, taste, hearing, and so forth for all others who are fortunate to connect with them through transmission from an accomplished holder of the teachings. Khenpo Sonam Tobgyal Rinpoche is extremely well-versed in these teachings, and will provide a progressively deeper introduction to and explication of the bardos, and of the levels of practice that may be cultivated within each bardo. The program will begin with two consecutive evening talks in New York City, followed by a more in-depth and practical weekend training. We strongly recommend that participants make every effort to follow the entire program through from start to finish, if at all possible.

Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche Schedule of Teachings and Events May / June 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raising the Victory Banner of Goodness and Virtue Empowerment of and Teachings on Black Hayagriva May 26 - 28: Padma Samye Ling Hayagriva is a wrathful emanation of Amitaba, the Buddha of Compassion. He is known as Padma Heruka, the Lord of the Speech Family – one of the principle Eight Herukas. Practicing on Hayagriva pacifies the inner demons and evil spirits of ego-clinging and deluded perception, increasing love and compassion. The empowerment and teachings come from the Great Terton Tsasum Lingpa's terma Black Hayagriva with Meteoric Iron Hair. The teachings will focus on the importance of harmonizing the five elements in order to increase life force and prosperity, to fulfill one’s wishes, and also to remove obstacles. The skillful application of these teachings will help to actualize bodhichitta commitments, eventually leading to enlightenment. Weekend activities will include raising new prayer flags around the Padma Samye Ling gonpa, as well as performing fire and smoke offering ceremonies. Special Celebrations include Guru Rinpoche Day practice and also on May 26: live broadcast teachings to various PBC Centers worldwide.

Atsara Sale, one of the heart sons of Guru Rinpoche, was renowned as a great practitioner of Vajrakilaya, and a consort of Yeshe Tsogyal. Their relationship has become the source of inspiration for students through the ages. The first incarnation known as Thupten Nyingpo was the younger brother and close disciple of the great 19th century Drikung Treasure revealer Nuden Dorje. The first Ontul Rinpoche was the older brother and close disciple of Lho Nuden Dorje. Hence, historically, these three incarnations have always been very close. Traditionally they have all resided at Lho Lungkar Gon Monastery in Historic Eastern Tibet, Kham, China. Currently, Lho Ontul Rinpoche resides at Ogmin Thubten Shedrup Ling (another name for Lho Lungkar Gon) in Tso Pema, India, and Tulku Thubten Nyingpo and Lho Bongtul Rinpoche (Nuden Dorje) reside at Lho Lungkar Gon. And, just as they have been historically, these three Nuden Dorje Lamas are very close. In fact, Tulku Thubten Nyingpo came to the U.S. in 2004 at the request of Ontul Rinpoche and other Lamas. The first Thupten Nyingpo Rinpoche became a great siddha, highly accomplished in the practices of Chvd and Vajrakilaya. Students of the Drikung lineage should note that the present Thupten Nyingpo's previous incarnation was one of the root Drikung teachers of the present Garchen Rinpoche. At an empowerment that Garchen Rinpoche gave in 2004, he mentioned that the Lama whom he received this empowerment from, as well as all The 50 Empowerments of Lord Jigten Sumgon, was the previous Tulku Thubten Nyingpo. Likewise, His Eminence told his students at a teaching in New York State in 2004, that Rinpoches students should make every effort to receive teachings from Tulku Thubten Nyingpo, that they should run- not walk to go and receive teachings from Thubten Nyingpo Rinpoche!! Thubten Nyingpos teachers include H.H. Chetsang Rinpoche, H.E. Garchen Rinpoche, Ven. Ontul Rinpoche, Lamchen Gyalpo Rinpoche, and Drubwang Rinpoche. Rinpoche has studied and practiced in Tibet, at Jangchub Ling, and also at the Payul (Nyingma) Shedra in South India. His activities at his Monastery include creating a new Shedra (Scriptural College), as well as a school to care for and educate local children. Following in the tradition of his previous incarnations, the present Thupten Nyinpo Rinpoche is also an accomplished Chod Master and Vajrakilaya practitioner.

In 1981 he began his college education at the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies (University) in Sarnath, Varnasi, India. He earned his Bachelor's degree in 1988 in the Sanskrit, Hindi, Tibetan, and English languages and in Buddhist philosophy. Pursuing graduate study at the University, he was President of the student union, and served two years as a Kagyu Committee member. In 1990 he received his Master's degree in advanced Buddhist philosophy. Upon graduation he also received a special award from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. After graduation, Lama Gursam was requested by His Holiness Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche to come to the Drikung Kagyu Institute in Dehra Dun, India, at a critical time where there was a great lack of teachers and funding for education. There he served as a volunteer for five years, teaching Tibetan language and Buddhist philosophy and history. He also held the posts of Instructor, Head of Examinations, and Assistant Director while serving as secretary to His Holiness Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche, the head of the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. During this time, he also did a one-year meditation retreat and received Dzogchen teachings and empowerments from Khenchen Thupten Rinpoche and other lamas of the Nyingma lineage. He also studied with Dr. Pema Gyaltsen, a specialist in the Tibetan language. In 1995, Lama Gursam was sent by His Holiness Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche to the United States, where he taught Buddhist philosophy for five years. Lama Gursam worked as a resident teacher in a Tibetan Meditation Center, also serving as director of North American Drikung Kagyu Center. Then Lama Gursam met His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche, whom he considers to be the second Milarepa. Under H.E. Garchen Rinpoche's guidance, together with the Venerable Traga Rinpoche, he became a yogi, and in 2002 he completed a traditional three-year retreat in the United States, practicing Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa. After a nationwide teaching tour, he then traveled to India, Nepal and the border of Tibet, where he completed a six-month retreat in Milarepa's cave at Lapchi. Lama Gursam continues to return every year to India for teachings and retreats, and every year to the United States and Canada to reunite with friends and students for teachings. His current sanghas are located in Vermont, Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, and Arizona, as well as Montreal and Sault Sainte Marie, Canada. Additionally, every 2-3 years, Lama Gursam leads a pilgrimage to Buddhist holy places in India and Nepal. In 2006, Lama Gursam founded The Bodhichitta Foundation, a U.S. non-profit organization officially recognized by His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche, head of the Drikung Kagyu lineage. The Bodhichitta Foundation benefits the West with teachings, a future center and retreat land, and the East, preserving ancient texts, Tibetan culture, education, women's rights, and health.

Suraj: The Center for Dzogchen Studies in New Haven, Connecticut. Invites you to teachings given by Patrul Jigme Rikpe Dorje Palzankpo Rinpoche of the Pukang Monaster, Arik Dza, Tibet Topic:108 Peaceful and Wrathful Deities and 1000 Buddha Empowerments Date/location: September 22, 8am to 4pm at Tibet House, 22 W 15th St # 2, New York, NY 10011 $50 (LIMITED SEATING. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED) For more information contact the Center for Dzogchen Studies:(203)387-9992 or for.dzogchen@snet.netwww.dzogchenstudies.com Biography: Patrul Jigme Rikpe Dorje Palzankpo Rinpoche is the incarnation of the great Patrul OrgyenJigme Chuje Wangpo, the author of Words of My Perfect Teacher. Patrul Rinpoche hasreceived all the empowerments and instructions of both the Heruka Düdjom Lingpa and thegreat treasure revealer Namkha Jigme. Extensive Biography:Long ago, the great lord Padmakara entrusted the entire range of essential key instructions on the secret and profound Great Perfection to the undying expanse, the core of Lhacham Padmasal’s heart. Later, once the appropriate mindset arose and the right time had come, a series of beings were born, starting with the great treasure revealer Sangye Lama and continuing on to the Rigdzin Jingmé Lingpa. The first thirteen of these masters are known as “the thirteen renowned reincarmnations of Lhacham.”The list of incarnations includes:1) Lhacham Padmasal, 2) the treasure revealer Sangye Lama, 3) Gya Lotsawa, 4) the siddha Ngodrup, 5) Padma Ledreltsal, 6) Longchen Rabjam, 7) Orgyen Lingpa, 8) Ngari Panchen, 9) Chogyal Rinchen Phuntsok, 10) Tashi Topgyal, 11) Lhatsun Namkha Jigmé, 12) Chojé Lingpa, 13) Jigmé Lingpa, 14) Orgyen Jigmé Chowang, 15) the great treasure revealer Namkha Jigmé, and 16) Choktrül jigmé Rikpey Dorjé. The succession of the throne holders of the monastic seat are as follows: 1) the first Patrul Samten Phuntsok, 2) the second Patrul Khampa Ngotsarchen, 3) the third Patrul Orgyen Jigmé Chokyi wangpo, 4) the fourth Patrul, the son of the blood drinking Düdjom Dorjé, the emanation Guru Nyima Ozer; the master of an ocean of qualities of learning and accomplishment, the great treasure revealer Namkha Jigmé. The fifth Patrul, Jigmé Rikpey Dorjé, was born in the water hare year of the sixteenth cycle(the Western year 1963). His father was the heart son of the great treasure revealer Namkha Jigmé, the emanated display of Thupten Chokyi Dorjé, the mantradhara vidyadhara Drupwang Sherap Mebar. His mother was the Dakini Tsering Lhaga. This matched the prophecy of the great treasure revealer Namkha Jigmé, who stated that he would take a future rebirth in the home of Gopey Labrang. He was then correctly identified as the reincarnation of the great treasure revealer guru by the yogi of the definitive meaning, Rigdzin Gyurmé Namgyal. The great spiritual master RongKyap Lama Lodro Gyaltsen, Khysentsé Rabsel Dawa, Gurong Gyalsey and other masters concurred with this recognition and offered letters of support. He then learned to read, write and so forth with no difficulty under the tutelage of the great Khenpo, Lama Sonam Tsewang. Once the teachings began to flourish again, he was enthroned on the golden throne of Gyalwa Phukhang. He then studied at the lotus feet of many sacred teachers, including the all-seeing Khenchen Padma Tsewang, Khyentsé Rabsel Dawa, Gonla Padma Ozer, Trül Sheycha Tokmey Tsal and Rigdzin Sheyrab Meybar. He studied a virtual ocean of teachings relating to the Kama and Terma traditions of the Ancient Translation School (Nyingma). In particular, he received all the empowerments and instructions of the collected works of both the Heruka Düdjom Dorjé and the great treasure revealer Namkha Jigmé. At present, this young master has taken responsibility for maintaining the Buddha’s teachings at Gyalwa Phukhang Monastery. His activities of enlightened body, speech, and mind have been vast. He has created a printing facitlity to house an extensive collections of teachings from the Kama and Terma traditions of the Ancient Translation school (Nyingma). He has directed the construction of Zangdok Palri Temple and Patrul Temple in accordance with all religious specifications. His foremost commitment remains to offer a variety to ripening and liberating transmissions associated with the Patrul incarnation lineage to monks and lamas at the monastery and to an ever increasing number of dedicated lay practitioners. This translation of Patrul Rinpoche's biography was done by Cortland J. Dahl who has kindly given us his permission to reprint it here.

ATONG: Я познакомился с Еленой Лобода в 1989 году на эзотерических курсах, которые проводил выдающийся петербургский психотерапевт Д. А. Дубровин. От академика В. М. Бронникова, который отзывался о Денисе Александровиче с большим уважением, я недавно узнал. что Денис Александрович сейчас двойной профессор. К тому времени Елена уже лет 10 занималась различными эзотерическими практиками. Посещение курсов Д. А. Дубровина, наверное, было последним этапом в ее подготовке перед тем. как самой начать вести группы, что вскоре она и сделала. Могу засвидетельствовать, что уже в то время она была очень сильным специалистом. Однажды мы встретились с ней по дороге на занятия возле Александроневской Лавры. Было несколько минут в запасе, и мы решили войти в Лавру. Я пошел к иконам, а Елена встала под куполом. Закончив обход икон, я подошел сзади к Елене. Она была погружена в свои мысли. Приблизившись метра на три к Елене, я ощутил сильнейшие вибрации в области анахаты (вибраций такой силы я не ощущал даже от Д. А.). После этого анахата у меня еще три дня трепетала. Я был потрясен силой Елены. Не вдаваясь в подробности могу сообщить, что Елена - чистейший, наполненный Любовью человек. Еще в то время она поставила перед собой цель - служить людям. Зная ее целеустремленность, думаю, ей это в полной мере удается. Лет 15 с Еленой не виделся. Если кто-то поможет установить с ней контакт, буду очень признателен.

The gloom and negative vibration of specific food and clothing, of certain places, and of contact with particular beings all intensify our dualistic grasping, the root cause of negativity. Such negativity is purified into the state of untied emptiness and compassion through this practice and meditation. Weekend activities will include raising new prayer flags around the Padma Samye Ling gonpa, as well as performing fire and smoke offering ceremonies. Dates Saturday, May 24 - Monday, May 26

Suraj: Dear dharma friends, I'm happy to announce that Theglo Rinpoche has kindly accepted our invitation to visit Nyingma Palyul Dharma Center (NPDC) next month. Rinpoche was invited to the U.S. by Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche in order to bestow the empowerments for the treasure cycles of Dudjom Lingpa and Kunzang Nyima. Please see the attached files for a message from Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche and Tulku Theglo's biography. I personally felt very fortunate to meet with Theglo Rinpoche when he first arrived in America last month. Rinpoche is the great-grandson of Dudjom Lingpa, the great Mahasiddha, whose stories I have heard many times from my father, who was a ngakpa following the Dudjom Tersar Lineage. Theglo Rinpoche will be giving the empowerment for King Gesar of Ling at NPDC in New York. King Gesar is the emanation of Guru Rinpoche and in the future will be the King of Shambhala in the apocalyptic war which will bring an end to this Kaliyuga, or dark age. You can practice Gesar as a Lama, Yidam, or Protector. Among our sangha members I see an inclination to do protector practices in order to smooth our way. Perhaps Gesar is the right protector for all of us. Unlike the commitments required when receiving empowerments for other protectors, Gesar can be practiced at your convenience. Theglo Rinpoche and Khandrola will be in New York City from May 5th-7th. He will give the King Gesar Empowerment on May 5th, at 7 p.m. at the Nyingma Palyul Dharma Center. We will offer a brief tour of New York on May 6th, and he will leave for Palri Pema Od Ling in Austin, Texas, on May 7th. The event will be free for all, and you may make an offering to Rinpoche and Khandrola after the empowerment. You are most welcome also to make a donation to help cover the expenses of this visit, or to offer a ride during our visitors' stay in New York. Yours in Dharma, Khenpo Tenzin Norgay

Suraj: https://www.ligmincha.org/component/option,com_retreat/Itemid,138/retreat_id,17/ A Tri Trul Khor (Tibetan Yoga) with Alejandro Chaoul-Reich May 15, 2008 - May 18, 2008 Alejandro Chaoul-Reich In the Tibetan spiritual traditions, body, energy, and mind are known as the three doors to enlightenment. The contemplative physical movements of Tibetan yoga (trul khor) enable us to enter all three doors at once through a single practice, offering a powerful, skillful means for clearing the obstacles and obscurations to openness and clarity in meditation practice. Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche encourages all his students to engage in the trul khor movements to support their meditation practice. A committed group of practitioners continues to regularly engage in the trul khor of the Oral Transmission of Zhang Zhung. However, because some students have found these practices to be physically too demanding, Rinpoche has created a new, more accessible presentation of 16 “magical movements,” drawing from the 40 trul khor movements of the A Tri Bön dzogchen tradition. This new set of 16 contemplative physical movements is appropriate, doable and recommended for virtually every student. It incorporates each of the five kinds of lung (prana, vital breath) that many students will recognize from the tsa lung practice of the Bön Mother Tantra. This retreat led by senior student Alejandro Chaoul-Reich provides an in-depth exploration of the body’s energetic dimension: the subtle channels, the vital breath that circulates through them, and the subtlest aspects of the mind. There is no prerequisite for attending. All students are warmly invited by Tenzin Rinpoche to learn these movements and benefit from practicing them. RETREAT COST (includes meals; accommodations are available): $275 received by April 10; $325 received after April 10. ALEJANDRO CHAOUL-REICH is a senior student of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and has studied with many Tibetan Bon and Buddhist masters for almost 20 years. Alejandro additionally serves as director of Ligmincha Institute:Texas, Houston (www.ligminchatexas.org). Alejandro teaches meditation to cancer patients and their supporters and is involved in research using tsa lung trul khor with cancer patients at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. He is also an assistant professor at the John P. McGovern, M.D., Center for Health, Humanities, and the Human Spirit and the U.T. School of Medicine in Houston; and is director of the Center for Professional Renewal at the Institute for Religion and Health at the Texas Medical Center. Alejandro received his Ph.D. in Tibetan religions from Rice University. Login to register

Yumka is practiced on Dakini Day (25th of lunar month) in Namdroling and many other Nyingma monasteries. The central meditation visualization of the saddhana is on wisdom Dakini Yeshe Tsogyal, a consort of Guru Rinpoche and the Founding Mother of Tibetan Buddhism. This is one of the most profound practices in Longchen Nyingthik tradition. Beginning from refuge, it is grounded in the Dzogchen teachings. Because of this, Jigme Lingpa and other great lineage holders wrote commentaries and practice guides on Yumka. Khenpo Tenzin Norgey will be giving the teachings during this retreat based on these commentaries.

Having great altruistic motivation for virtuous deeds from early childhood in 1984 he entered Tana Monastery, receiving his vows as a novice (getsul) monk from Tulku Nyendrak Gyaltsen Rinpoche. While helping with the reconstruction of the Monastery, he received teachings on the Fivefold Path of Mahamudra and Kunsang Lama's Words of Profound Instruction, Dzogchen's Great Completion Parting from Samsara and Nirvana, Pointing Out the Nature of Mind, and other teachings from Tulku Nyendrak Gyaltsen Rinpoche. Rinpoche has also received Chakrasamvara according to Drilbupa, including the empowerment, scriptural transmission, and pith instructions from Tulku Thogme Rinpoche. In 1993 he left Tibet for India. On his way to India he made a pilgrimage to the sacred Mount Kailash. Tibetan Buddhists call the mountain Kang Rimpoche, the 'Precious One of Glacial Snow', and regard it as the dwelling place of Demchog (also known as Chakrasamvara) and his consort, Dorje Phagmo. In exile Drupon Dorje joined the Drikung Kagyu Institute in 1993, and has received instruction in philosophy, Gongchig, Theckchen Tenying, Dhagpo Thargyan, and Uttaratantra from Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen and other profound teachers of the Lineage. In 1995 Drupon Dorje received full ordination (gelong) vows from His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche, and in the same year accomplished the ngondro practices of Mahamudra and the grand mantra recitation of Chakrasamvara. In 1996, he received initiation into the Profound Path of the Six Yogas of Naropa. Drupon Rinchen Dorje Rinpoche has completed two (2) three-year retreat courses, one at Almora and one at Lachi, holy retreat place of the great yogi, Milarepa. He has received profound instructions too numerous to mention during these retreats. In 2005, he received the five-deities Hevajra according to Marpa's tradition of empowerment, transmission and instructions from His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche, and in 2006 he completed the grand mantra recitation of glorious Hevajra's fire puja at the Almora retreat center. Hence for his accomplishments he was awarded the title, Drupon, meaning "Retreat Master." Currently, Drupon Rinchen Dorje Rinpoche is the Resident Lama for both the Drikung Kagyu Dharma Circle - Madison, Wisconsin and their sister sangha, Chicago Ratna Shri.

He has completed more than ten years of retreat.

In early 1984, Traga Rinpoche received full gelong ordination from the Nyingma master Khenpo Munsel, who gave him the detailed teachings on Dzogchen Cutting Through the Resistance to Primordial Purity. Khenpo Munsel gently looked at Traga Rinpoche and said, your karmic propensity is to practice Dzogchen. I am your karmic lama. If you can meditate, you have today found the way to liberation in one life. You will never find something like this even if you went to look for it with your horse's hooves encased in steel. Spend one year near me and meditate. For the next seven years, he did retreat near Khenpo Munsel, and practiced Trekcho - Cutting Through, Thogal - Passing Over, and many other advanced practices. In 1998, Lamchen Gyalpo Rinpoche -- determined to make Traga Rinpoche's vast knowledge and profound experiential understanding of the highest level of Dzogchen teachings accessible to as many students as possible -- enthroned him as Lopon Rinpoche (Precious Master), with lavish praise for his hard work and outstanding achievements. His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche selected Traga Rinpoche as the retreat master and resident lama at the Garchen Buddhist Institute in Chino Valley, Arizona, and asked his students to have full confidence in Traga Rinpoche, just as, Garchen Rinpoche said, "I have full confidence in him." __._,_.___
