Friend

Even though it was snowing at Pema Osel Ling this week (!), we are looking forward to two spring retreats coming up quickly.

·              Chakung Jigme Wangdrak Rinpoche will give teachings on Dudjom Rinpoche's "Mountain Dharma" (Ri Chö): Extracting the Quintessence of Accomplishment – Oral Instructions for the Practice of Mountain Retreat Expounded Simply and Directly in their Essential Nakedness.
 
This essential Trekchö text, interpreted by Dudjom Lingpa's lineal descendant, gives pointing out instructions for practicing Dzogchen and recognizing the nature of one's mind. The text is available from Dharma Treasures in print and as a digital download.
 
·              Sam Bercholz will return with his insightful commentary on Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche’s A Cascading Waterfall of Nectar. His weekend of teachings will open the annual Ngondro Retreat, with a Refuge Ceremony, Oral Transmissions, teachings and guided practice. Participating Instructors:
Tulku Thadral Rinpoche
Lama Sonam Rinpoche
Amy Green
Ivan Bercholz
Choying Wangmo
Stefan Graves

Both retreats will be streamed, and recordings of the Ngondro Retreat will be available for at least a month. The Mountain Dharma teachings must be viewed in real time.

Whether you are new to the Dharma or have years of experience, these teachings are sure to deepen you understanding and inspire your practice.

Please join us, in person or online!

Thank you and all our sangha for supporting our Gutor - Losar activities this year. A wonderful group of people joined the Vajrakilaya pujas in person and online. On Gutor Day, after burning the awesome Zorchen to dispel all negativities, we enjoyed Siddhis, then Tibetan soup in the shrine room.

On Losar Day, we offered kataks, celebrated with Lake Born Vajra and Orgyen Khandro Norlha pujas, tea, auspicious sweet rice, chang, kapse, wheat grass and a bountiful tsok, then raised the new prayer flags accompanied by a Riwo Sangcho smoke offering puja.
