Meditation, compassion or vajrayana practices held by the Rigpa sangha.
We have received advice from Lerab Ling for Long Life prayers and Swift Rebirth prayers.
Dodrupchen Yangsi has been found and so we do not need to recite the Swift Rebirth Prayer for Dodrupchen Rinpoche.
A pdf version of the revised Long Life Prayer for Ngawang Sonam Gyatso is available from a google drive here.
Do you want to get more familiar with the practice of Tendrel Nyesel? Or reinspire your existing practice? Each month from April to August during the live streamed Guru Rinpoche day Tendrel Nysel tsok practice, Senior Teachers, Valerie Baker and Sebastien Reggiany will share brief practice advice and guidance on the practice of Tendrel Nyesel to really bring it alive.
On Sunday 31 May, we celebrate Saga Dawa Düchen, one of the four great festival days in Buddhism which marks both Buddha Shakyamuni's enlightenment and his parinirvana. Together we can participate in a programme of practice, streamed live from Lerab Ling.
Saga Dawa is the fourth month of the Tibetan lunar calendar. It is considered to be the most important month of the year for practice since Buddha's birth, enlightenment and parinirvana all fall within this period (according to Tibetan tradition). The first fifteen days of the month are considered especially important.
The worldwide Rigpa Sangha is encouraged to enter into a period of intensive practice during the entire Tibetan month, but particularly during the first fifteen days of the Tibetan month.
Sangha members — from beginners on the path to experienced students — are warmly invited to join the practice of essential phowa at 7.00pm AEST on the first Monday of each month.
