Drupon Thinley 4 Yogi Lama Gursam Brief Bio
At the age of six, Lama Gursam entered Drikung Kagyu Monastery in Tso Pema, India, where he completed his basic education and studied Buddhist philosophy, practice, ritual and conduct. 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.

Tröma Wang(Empowerment) at
Yeshe Nying Po 19 West 16th Street, New York, NY
H.H. Shenphen Dawa Norbu Rinpoche,will bestow this rarely given and special empowerment at our New York City center.
Troma Nagmo, in Sanskrit, Krodhakali, and in English could be rendered as "Wrathful Black Woman" is a wrathful emanation of Yeshe Tsogyal, the first Tibetan to attain full enlightenment and the one who hid these teachings for future generations. This particular cycle of Troma was a secret mind treasure discovered by the great treasure revealer Dudjom Lingpa, the predecessor of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, father of HH Shenphen Dawa Norbu Rinpoche.
Wang, abhisheka, or empowerment, is a Vajrayana Buddhist ceremony that authorizes the student to practice on a particular Buddhist deity. In this case, this wang will authorize the recipient to practice the Troma cycle of Dudjom Lingpa, including the practices of Chod, Lujin, and Troma feast offerings. It is very important for those who are doing Chod and Troma practices to receive this empowerment, if they have not already. Of course, the wang is only the beginning. Interested students must follow this authorization with the proper lung, or oral transmission, and mengak, or instructions, on the particular sadhanas (liturgies) within the Troma cycle of Dudjom Lingpa that they would like to practice.
A donation to Rinpoche and to Yeshe Nying Po is encouraged for this event.

This text reveals the essence of the Kagyu tradition of practicing the Kalachakra completion stage.

" The completion stage practices can be divided in six stages: 1. Individual Withdrawal: cutting off the individual vital energies in the 6 sense organs and the spheres of sensory perception. Arisal of "body of empty form". 2. Yoga of Dhyana: essentially samadhi combining insight and shamatha. It establishes divine pride in the empty form body. 3. Yoga of Energy Control: arresting the flow of energies in the right and left channel using vajra recitation and tummo. Gives rise to the four joys descending from above. 4. Yoga of Retention: using vase breathing to blend the main energies, the mind and the empty body at each of the chakras. Achieve the four joys of (the drops) ascending from below. 5. Yoga of Subsequent Mindfulness: practice with a mudra to achieve unchanging bliss. 6. Yoga of Samadhi: bringing the white and red substances respectively to the tip of the jewel and the crown and retaining them. This causes a flash of stabilised bliss, that causes one of our 21,600 factors responsible for our coarse form to dissolve. Simultaneously, one of the 21,600 karmic energies are halted. Stacking 21,600 of white, male drops in a column from the tip of the jewel to the crown, and similarly stacking 21,600 of red, female drops in a column from the crown to the tip of the jewel causes one to achieve the state of Kalachakra.

Despite this there is a great wealth of Dharma knowledge here about Kalachakra. *** It is important to note this is a Kalachakra Empowerment and Practice text of the Drikung Kagyu lineage. The Completion Stage instructions are concise and special to the Drikung Lineage also. The Practice text has been translated and we hope to have the Completion Stage Practice Instructions translated for this event. *** Previously given in this cycle of Empowerments was Guhyasamaja and Chakrasamvara and we hope later in 2012 to complete this cycle with the Hevajra Empowerment and Completion Stage Instructions. *** One of the unique qualities of this cycle of four empowerments composed by Rigzin Chokyi Dragpa is the practical nature of the sadhana and Completion Stage instructions which give the essence of these profound practices.
The teachings on this text will be a rare opportunity to receive an introduction to the heart of the ancient vajrayana practices of the Kalchakra Completion Stage.

Free Admission – Donations Accepted —————————
The White Lotus (Padma Karpo) is a commentary written by Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche (1846-1912), esteemed scholar and supremely accomplished Nyingma master. It sheds light on the multiple layers of meaning contained in the Vajra Seven-Line Prayer to Guru Rinpoche, the most sacred prayer within Tibetan Buddhism, and thereby enhances our understanding and ability to invoke the power of Guru Rinpoche's blessings.
Wish-Fulfilling Wheel of Avalokiteshvara Empowerment From the Namcho, or “Space Treasure,” cycle of teachings revealed by Terton Migyur Dorje, this empowerment is particularly suitable for removing obstacles and pacifying illnesses. In this form, Avalokiteshvara is blue in color with four arms. —————————

Thursday, June 14 Loving-Kindness and Compassion: Discovering the Heart of the Buddha's Teachings Rinpoche will give a public talk on the most important of the Buddha's teachings, Bodhicitta, or Loving-Kindness and Compassion. Without Bodhicitta our practice is not Dharma Practice. There is no higher teaching. These are the most essential teachings to understand and put into practice. Time: 7 PM Sug. Don. $20 Location: Burnham Hall, Lincoln, VT
Friday, June 15 Yangzab Dorje Drollo Empowerment This empowerment was given by Ontul Rinpoche ten years ago and at the conclusion of the empowerment Lho Ontul Rinpoche founded the DDCV and set forth the Turning of the Wheel of Dharma. Since that evening ten years ago a whole spectrum of Dharma teachings and empowerment's have been given at the DDCV, everything from the Foundation practices to the pith instructions on Mahamudra and the highest Dzogchen teachings of Trekcho and Thogyal. The power and energy of Dorje Drollo helped clear away the obstacles that try to prevent Dharma teachings. So it is very auspicious on our ten year anniversary to have Rinpoche give this profound and rarely given empowerment from the Yangzab Treasure teachings.
The Yangzab Dorje Drollo practice is one of the most powerful practices within the Yangzab Treasure Cycle. It was practiced by many great practitioners which included also the 5th Dalai Lama. This practice is very affective in dispelling obstacles, both worldly, as well as the obstacles that prevent practitioners from recognizing and stabilizing the recognition of Minds True Nature. Time: 7 PM Sug. Don. $30 Location: Burnham Hall, Lincoln, VT
Saturday-Sunday, June 16-17 Trekcho Dzogchen Pith Practice Instructions: Garab Dorje's Three Words that Strike the Vital Point Lho Ontul Rinpoche for the first time give these precious teachings which were given to him by the great Dzogchen Master Khunu Rinpoche.
The Great Perfection, or Dzogchen, is considered the most direct path to awakening in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. This radically direct approach points out the mind's fundamental nature of luminous purity. Once this nature has been recognized and experienced, problems and negativity automatically dissolve, leaving the open space of pure awareness, in which the qualities of enlightenment spontaneously unfold.
Garap Dorje was one of the first masters of the Great Perfection lineage. His final teaching - Three Words that Strike the Vital Point - is one of the most important teachings on the Great Perfection. These pithy instructions offer clear guidance on recognizing the mind's innate purity and making this recognition a living experience through repeated familiarization. Time: 10-12 $ 2:30-5 PM Sug. Don. $100 Location: Burnham Hall, Lincoln, VT
Tuesday, June 19 Yangzab Tsewang Dzinpa Empowerment: The Guru Who Holds Power Over Life
In perilous times, it is essential to have a strong connection to the Guru, and the Higher Worlds. In Tibetan Buddhism, the connection to Guru Rinpoche, or Padmasambhava has long been considered essential for receiving all forms of benefit, including, but not limited to:
* Cultivating Prosperity, longevity and health
* Peaceful conditions, such as cultivating positive qualities.
* Purification from obstacles, emotional afflictions and mental obscurations
*Wrathful cleansing and blessings
* Forceful connection
The Empowerment of the Guru Who Holds Power Over Life opens the gateway within oneself to the practice which clears obstacles, not only for one's own mind and heart but that of the world. This is called Guru Tsewang Dzinpa practice, but all one need to know is that it will create a strong connection to the Guru. In this practice, one visualizes oneself in a wrathful(protective and cleansing) form of the Guru Padmasambhava. The practice is done from the perspective of the Dzogchen teachings and helps one overcome all obstacles to meditation or spiritual practice, leading to the achievement of a longer life. Ultimately, this practice catalyzes swift enlightenment through the process of merging one's own mind with the Guru of awareness. Time: 7 PM Sug. Don. $25 Location: 2 Elm St. Bristol, VT

It brings vase accumulation of merits of wisdom and merits of compassion. The general purpose of the offering is to remove obstacles to enlightenment by removing stains left by ordinary unwholesome actions, especially broken vows, samayas, pledges, and promises. It helps to prevent all inauspicious circumstances. The Yangzab Fire Puja has not been performed publicly before in the West. The text has been translated for this auspicious occasion.

The first Ontul Rinpoche in the Drikung lineage was the older brother of Lho Nuden Dorje. This is a very special Amitabha empowerment and practice as Amitabha and Chenrezig are combined in this practice. This practice also has an activity mantra where you engage in the peaceful activities of Amitabha. This mantra is especially helpful for helping those who have died in the Bardo or any suffering beings for that matter. For this event we have had the complete cycle of this Amitabha practice translated. This practice can be done in a concise way or it can be done in a more extensive way in retreat or as a Drubchen. Lho Ontul Rinpoche does this practice every year at his Monastery. This Amitabha practice has not been given in this way before in the West. It is a practice that practitioners of all levels can accomplish and bring great benefit to others as well as themselves. We will conclude our ten year anniversary with an Amitabha Tsok as well as special Butterlamp Offering and Dedication prayers composed by Lho Nuden Dorje. Time: 10 AM to 5 PM Both Days Sug.

Lho Ontul Rinpoche - A Brief Biography
Venerable Ontül Rinpoche escaped from Tibet after the Chinese invasion with his teacher Kharnam and his followers and crossed overland into Nepal during 1960. Rinpoche travelled into India during 1962 where during this time until 1965 Rinpoche did retreat and studied with Khenpo Thubten (introduced to him by the highly realized yogini Drikung Khandro Neni Rinpoche), in the holy place of Tsopema, India. During 1965 Rinpoche and a group of practitioners established a spiritual community in the hill station of Dharamsala and did practice in a simple tent. During the first ceremony in Tsopema on Guru Rinpoche Day (Tsechu) they pitched the tent and performed pujas next to the holy lake of Tsopema. During 1965 Rinpoche and the community invited Khenpo Thubten to give teachings and studied with him until 1970. From there he travelled into Ladakh, India in 1970 on a teaching tour and bestowed empowerments on the Himalayan Buddhist peoples. Through the offerings received he purchased land in Tsopema and started construction of Wogmin Thubten Shedrup Ling Monastery in 1971.
Ontül Rinpoche received Mahamudra and Dzogchen teachings from H.H. Dalai Lama, H.H. Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche, H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche, H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Yogi Pachung Rinpoche, Polu Khenchen Dorje, Ven. Khunu Lama Tenzin Gyaltsen, Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche, Khenpo Khedrup Rinpoche and others. From the yogi Chyunga Rinpoche, Ontül Rinpoche received teachings and his personal instructions on the Drigung Kagyu Five-Fold Profound Path of Mahamudra. In the years which followed, Ontül Rinpoche went to Drigung Kagyu Monasteries in Ladakh where he received most of the important empowerments, instructions and oral transmissions of the Drigung Kagyu tradition from H.E. Choje Togden Rinpoche.
It is a rare privilege to meet such a qualified spiritual master who is accessible to practitioners who wish to genuinely embark on the spiritual path. Ontul Rinpoche lives with his wife, Khandro Tashi Drolma together with their son Karma Ratna Rinpoche (an emanation of Nuden Dorje), and their family in Wogmin Thubten Shedrup Ling Gompa next to the Lotus Lake, Tsopema.
Ven. Ontül Rinpoche holds both the unbroken lineages of the Maha Mudra and Maha Ati transmission of Drigung Kagyu and Nyingma. Rinpoche is a well known Dzogchen Master who has the blessings from His Holiness Dalai Lama, H.H. 16th Gyalwa Karmapa and His Holiness Drigung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche and has many students all over the world and generously sharing precious Dharma to those interested in learning and practicing.

Kagyu Tobten Choling Event: 'Nyungne Retreat - The Fasting Ritual And Meditation Of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig'
May 21 - June 6, 2012 PLEASE NOTE: The registration deadline is April 30, 2012. Venerable Lama Norlha Rinpoche and the KTC Sangha will be participating in 8 consecutive sets of Nyungne - the Fasting Ritual and Meditation of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig. This retreat will be held during the auspicious month of Sakadawa, the month commemorating the birth, enlightenment and parinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha. It is said that, during this time, the merit accumulated through performing virtuous activity is multiplied 100,000 times.
The Nyungne practice is a profound kriya tantra meditation ritual based on loving-kindness and compassion in the form of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig. The practice involves maintaining strict vows and meditating while reciting mantras and prayers, and performing prostrations and visualizations. Undertaken in sets of two days, the first day includes one vegetarian meal at noon, drinking water throughout the day as needed. The second day is a complete fast performed in noble silence. The Nyungne is renowned as a superior means to purify negative karma and accumulate great merit.
Chenrezig himself declared that completing even one Nyungne prevents rebirth in the lower realms, and the practice of eight consecutive Nyungne leads to birth in Amitabha’s pure land of Dewachen.
Guests are welcome to participate in any or all of the Nyungne sets but please note - it is necessary to arrive at KTC by 8pm the evening before any set as the practice begins as early as 5 am every day throughout the retreat. The dates for each set are as follows:

Lama Norlha Rinpoche
Lama Norlha Rinpoche was born in Eastern Tibet. He entered Korche Monastery at the age of five, receiving monastic ordination at fourteen. By the age of twenty-one, he had completed two three-year retreats. After the communist takeover of Tibet, he escaped on foot to India where he met Kalu Rinpoche and became his close disciple. In 1976, at the request of HH the 16th Karmapa and Kalu Rinpoche, Lama Norlha Rinpoche came to New York City to direct Kagyu Dzamling Kunchab, which was founded by Kalu Rinpoche in 1974. Two years later, Lama Norlha Rinpoche founded Kagyu Thubten Chöling Monastery and Retreat Center in Wappingers Falls, NY. Following the sacred example of his own masters, Lama Norlha has dedicated his life to teaching the practices that make up the Kagyupa three-year retreat. To date he has directed seven full retreats at Kagyu Thubten Chöling Monastery, with an eighth retreat that started in November 2011.
Since 1984 Lama Norlha has returned to his birthplace in Tibet several times. As part of his continuing initiative to re-establish the Dharma in Nangchen, he rebuilt the monastery at Korche, including its two retreat facilities. Tashi Delek!

Yangzab Three Roots Empowerment:
Dharmakaya Guru Rinpoche/Yeshe Tsogyal
Hayagriva & Vajravarahi
This empowerment is the gateway to the Yangzab Treasure Teaching Cycle. It was revealed as part of an extensive Earth Treasure which was revealed by Drikung Rinchen Phuntsok. It is a profound practice where the Lama, Yidam and Dakini are all accomplished in the same practice. Drikung Rinchen Phuntsok not only revealed this as an Earth Treasure but also had a Pure Vision where he went to Guru Rinpoches Copper Covered Mountain Pure Land and received this empowerment directly from Guru Rinpoche. For all who wish to connect with the Yangzab Dzogchen Treasure teachings this empowerment is essential. It contains great blessings and opens the doorway to traversing the complete path of Dzogchen from the preliminary practices all the way to the highest Dzogchen practices of Trekcho and Thogal.

Hevajra/Nairatmya
Co-Emergent Bliss Empowerment
Drupon Thinley Ningpo will be giving a the concise version of the Hevajra empowerment based on a empowerment root text composed by Drikung Rigzin Chokyi Dragpa the 1st Chuntsang Rinpoche. In this empowerment Hevajra and his consort have two arms and the practice is focused on accomplishing the Completion Stage Practices. The sadhana or practice text is concise and not difficult to practice.
Hevajra, also known as the "King of Tantras," ranks among the most important Tantras of the highest Yoga Tantra class. According to the Kagyu system of tantra classification Shri Hevajra belongs to the 'Wisdom-mother' Anuttarayoga tantra. It is a special transmission and is rarely given. In the Kagyu tradition it is was handed down by Marpa (1012-1097), the great translator.
The Hevajra Tantra was transmitted by Marpa as part of a series of Tantras that became known as the Seven Mandalas of Ngok to one of his four main disciples, Ngok Chöku Dorje (1036-1106). This tradition was primarily upheld by the Drikung Kagyu lineage. To save these teachings from oblivion, Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye (1813-1899) combined them with other teachings of Marpa to form the Kagyu Ngag Dzö (bka' brgyud sngags mdzod, 'The Kagyu Treasury of Oral Instructions'). His Holiness Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche holds the transmissions of the Hevajra Tantra of both the Sakyapa and the Kagyupa traditions, thus carrying on the great impartial Rime tradition of Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye and Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820-1892).
For the last 300 years the practice of Hevajra was not a major focus in the Drkung lineage but HH Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang recognizing it's importance to the lineage, has stated that it is important to re-establish this tradition in all Drikung Kagyu monasteries and centers. Hevajra was the Yidam Deity of the great Marpa, who is the founder of the Kagyu Tradition. Drupon Thinley Ningpo has received extensive Hevajra teachings and Empowerments from HH Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang so this will indeed be a great blessing to receive this profound Hevajra Empowerment from Drupon-la. In this practice Hevajra has two-arms and is in union with Vajra Nairatmya. The empowerment and sadhana come from a collection of four key annutarayoga tantra deities (Guhyasamaja, Chakrasamvara, Kalacakra, and Hevajra) put together by the Drigung Kagyu master Rigdzin Chokyi Dragpa.

Hevajra Completion Stage Teachings:
Tummo, the Channels, Winds & Drops
& Co-Emergent Great Bliss
The Hevajra Section of the Essential Meaning of the Annutarayoga Tantra Completion Stage, the Profound Upadesha
By Rigdzin Chökyi Dragpa
This Completion stage text reveals the essence of the Kagyu tradition of practicing the Hevajra completion stage. The Completion Stage text text by Rigdzin Chökyi Dragpa was designed specifically to compliment the generation stage sadhana of Hevajra with the Hevajra completion stage practices. These teachings include very important practical teachings on the Completion Stage including practices on engaging in consort practice.
The sadhana practice composed by Rigzin Chokyi Drakpa comes from the tradition of the great Mahasiddha Shantipa and contains in clear direct language the practices of Tummo, Consort Practice, the Four Joys and Co-Emergent Great Bliss. The commentary text on the Completion Stage makes these practices explicitly clear.
This Retreat will be the final fruition of a cycle of Completion Stage Practices that Drupon-la began teaching on two years ago. It is very auspicious that Drupon-la will be giving these teachings at a time when HH Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang is reviving the Hevajra teachings with the Drikung Lineage.
For those attending the complete Retreat (July 19-22) the suggested donation is $180.

One is introduced to the true immortal vajra body essence of one's own present form together with the male and female Buddha's of the five families abiding in the five cakras. This empowerment also serves as the gateway to the three aspects long life practice associated with this empowerment. There is an outer practice whereby one does the meditation and recitation of the Buddha Amitayus. There is an inner practice where one works with the subtle energies of prana in order to attain immortality and tame one's mind.

Niguma's Wisdom Dakini Teachings:
Stages in the Path of Illusion
Niguma is considered as one of most important and highly appreciated tantric yogini or Vajrayana Buddhist lady- teachers (dakinis). There are few certain facts about her life. She was born 10th century in Kashmir in rich Brahmin family and according to different sources was sister or consort of Naropa. It's said that her Buddhist realization originates directly from Buddha Vajradhara. Her main student was Tibetan meditation master Khyungpo Naljor, who traveled to India to receive transmission of her teachings. Later on he became founder of Shangpa Kagyu lineage.
This mysterious Kashmiri woman from the 10-11 centuries is known as Niguma, the Dakini of Timeless Awareness, and she is the only woman whose teachings became the source of a lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. She is said to have attained the Rainbow Body and many great Masters have seen her in visions or dreams over the last 1000 years. Her teachings have influenced and been incorporated into many different schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Not only is she herself ethereal, as befits a dakini, but most of the works attributed to her seem to focus on illusion. Her practices of the Six Dharmas emphasize illusory body and dream yoga, and her only lengthy treatise is called "Stages in the Path of Illusion.
This weekends retreat will will be a rare opportunity to study her essential work "Stages in the Path of Illusion". Drupon Trinley Ningpo received these precious teachings from HH Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche and this will be the first time he has taught on them publicly.

Niguma's Amulet of Mahamudra
Below is how the great Jamgon Kontrol Rinpoche described Niguma's Amulet of Mahamudra teachings:
"The vajra lines of the instruction on the essential meaning of no mental engagement were highly valued by the scholar-adept Khyungpo, such that he rolled up the paper and inserted it into a heart*like Nepalese amulet box, which he tied it around his neck. Thus it is known as the "Amulet Mahamudra." In the preliminary of the threefold letting-go, one cultivates calm abiding and higher insight. In the main practice, the descent of vajra timeless awareness points out [minds nature] in a sneaky way (the burglar method), and by means of the liberation of the four faults in their own ground, one becomes resolved about mind itself. In the concluding practice, one maintains the state of the naturally arisen three kayas and relies on the extraordinary enhancement and obstruction-clearing practices. Thus, it is the heart of all teachings of sutra and tantra, the pith of all esoteric instruction, and the actualization of the natural liberation of the four kayas in mahamudra".

In addition to receiving a complete training in Kangyur and Tangyur, as well as the works of Longchenpa, Rinpoche mastered the extensive practices of his lineage. Rinpoche also received considerable teachings and transmissions from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Dodrupchen Rinpoche and Penor Rinpoche. Following the communist invasion of Tibet in 1959, Yangthang Rinpoche was imprisoned for twenty-two years - yet never ceased to tirelessly transmit the Buddha Dharma. Widely recognized for the depth of his realization, power of attainment and purity of transmissions, His Eminence bestowed the entire Rinchen Terzod in the winter of 2010, and the Ngagyur Kama earlier this year, both in Alameda, California.

Special Weekend Teaching: Sept. 13–15, 2013 THE THREE HEART MANTRAS AND MA TRI INITIATION (Yundrug Bon)[/b ]with H.E. Menri Lopon Trinley Nyima Rinpoche
he Three Heart Mantras from the Bon Buddhist tradition of Tibet are powerful mantras for healing and spiritual awakening. Recited regularly in the Bon monasteries, they can be used by anyone as a simple daily practice.
Join H.E. Menri Lopon Trinley Nyima Rinpoche, head teacher of Menri Monastery in Dolanji, India, in exploring the healing power and beauty of the Three Heart Mantras during this special weekend teaching.
The Three Heart Mantras are vehicles through which the practitioner connects with the three enlightened dimensions of the natural mind. They are important for clearing obstructions to realizing the nature of mind; for developing qualities such as love and compassion; and for purifying and protecting the mind from negative and addictive patterns.
Menri Lopon Trinley Nyima Rinpoche also will be giving the Ma Tri Initiation during the weekend.
If you are new to the Bon tradition, curious about it or an experienced practitioner, don’t miss this opportunity to receive these precious teachings from Menri Lopon Rinpoche.
H.E. Menri Lopon Trinley Nyima Rinpoche is the lopon, or head instructor, of Menri Monastery in Dolanji, India. Born in Dolpo, a remote region of western Nepal, he has the family name of “Yangton” and an ancestry that traces back to Yangton Sherab Gyaltsen, a famous dzogchen and tantric master of the 11th century. Rinpoche began his training in 1976 at the age of 10. He received his geshe degree in 1989 from the Dialectic School at Menri Monastery and has been teaching there since then. He became lopon of the monastery in 1992.
A grand celebration to welcome His Holiness' arrival in the United States will be held on Sunday, March 30 at Tsechen Kunchab Ling. All of His Holiness' students and friends are encouraged to attend this festive event. In the afternoon, His Holiness will bestow a long-life initiation to the gathering. Free and open to the public.

Толи дело в DC - слетал на 4 дня на Тенерифе получил - Тогел и все - добро пожаловать .. а тут посвящения неделю и 2 недели объяснений.. блессингс - это понятно, но все таки это все на очень большого коллекционера все, хотя к красной и неровно дышу

Chakrasamvara Bliss & Practical Wisdom Retreat Bestowing the Two Supreme Benefits Pith Generation & Completion Stage Instructions
December 6-9, 2013 Bristol, Vermont
Saturday, December 7
Chakrasamvara/Vajravarahi
Supreme Bliss Empowerment
The practice of Chakrasamvara, or the 'Supreme Wheel of Bliss', is one of the most important mother tantra practices. It has been practiced both widely in India and Tibet by many Mahasiddhas and continues to be practiced to this very day. This particular empowerment is of the Chakrasamvara from the tradition of Ghantapa, an Indian Mahasiddha. Drupon Trinley will be giving the extensive empowerment which is rarely given. Through the accomplishment of this practice one can awaken and benefit oneself and others on many levels, from worldly activities to pinnacle of ultimate spiritual realization. This practice provides the skillful means to transform all aspects of worldly life including sexual union into Dharma practice.
Time: 9:30-5 PM
Sug. Don. $50
Location: 2 Elm St. Bristol, VT
Sunday-Monday, December 8-9
Bestowing the Two Supreme Benefits:
Pith Generation & Completion Stage Instructions
On Rinchen Phuntsogs Sadhana of the Five Coemergent Deities of Glorious
Bhagavan Chakrasamvara
This is one of the most important practices within Vajrayana Buddhism. Drupon-la will give the transmission for this practice as well as pith instructions on the meaning of Generation Stage practice. Drupon will bring these teachings down to the level where we can understand how they can be integrated into daily life so that we can be of greater benefit to sentient beings.
Drupon-la will also share some of the special and unique Completion Stage instructions of the practice of Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi in Union, as well as the Dakinis of Pacifying, Increasing, Magnetizing and Wrathful Activities which make up Chakrasamvaras retinue.
These teachings include very important practical teachings on the Completion Stage including practices on engaging in consort practice. Once a practitioner is stable in their practice it is possible to work with the subtle energy body with a consort.
This text reveals the essence of the Kagyu tradition of practicing the Chakrasamvara completion stage. Such instructions are widely known as the Five Stages of Arising. These five stages represent vital elements to the entire formula of tantric Buddhism and were practiced and commented on widely throughout India and Tibet. The five stages of the Chakrasamvara completion stage are based on the commentary composed by the Indian Mahasiddha Ghatapada, who wrote the earliest known Completion Stage commentary on the practice of Chakrasamvara.
The teachings on this text will be a rare opportunity to receive an introduction to the heart of the ancient vajrayana practices of the completion stage.
It will be a great blessing to receive these teachings from Drupon-la who has a unique ability to teach to Westerners regardless of what stage they are at, be the new or more experienced practitioners. These teachings will also be of great benefit to anyone engaged in any Vajrayana Deity practice.
Time: 9:30-5 PM Both Days

H.H. the Sakya Trizin to Bestow Initiations at Tsechen Kunchab Ling in March, 2015
Venerable Khenpo Kalsang Gyaltsen is delighted to announce that in March, 2015 H.H. the Sakya Trizin will bestow the Hevajra Cause empowerment; the profound collection of initiations known as the Thirteen Golden Dharmas; and will give a long life initiation and advice to the Tibetan and Himalayan People at Tsechen Kunchab Ling.
The Thirteen Golden Dharmas are a very special and powerful cycle of initiations that have been the special treasure of the highest Sakya lineage holders for over a thousand years. The initiations in the cycle bless the body, voice and mind to achieve both the excellent accomplishment of enlightenment, and the ordinary accomplishments of success, wealth, power, and overcoming of obstacles and diseases.
The thirteen initiations comprising the current cycle originated in ancient India and came from different sources to Sachen Kunga Nyingpo, the first of the five founders of the Sakya Order during the twelfth century. They were initially so precious that only gold was a suitable offering to receive them, hence they became known as the Thirteen Golden Dharmas. They were originally given only to the closest disciples of the Sakya lineage holders, and thus were said not to go outside the fence of the Sakya Monastery.

Yangsi Tenzin Yeshe Dorje, for the benefit of all parent sentient beings, will confer the Putri Repung (Vajrakilaya) empowerment in New York , which was one of the principal terma discovered by my father H. H. Dudjom Rinpoche. This treasure was discovered in the tiger's cave in Paro Taktsang (Bhutan) after His Holiness's retreat there where he had a vision leading to the revelation of this phurba teaching from Dakini Yeshe Tsogyal who told him that his father Guru Rinpoche gave her this phurba to give to him. Later that morning while in the cave, a bird flew in with the dakini's golden scroll in its beak and dropped it in front of His Holiness. This terma of kalaya was more elaborate than Dudjom Lingpa's phurba Namchak Putri revelation, but His Holiness seeing at that period in time that we were unable to accomplish all these practices, revealed only one volume.In fact, I remember His Holiness said to me that he had over 500 volumes he could have revealed. So I can say from the bottom of my heart take this opportunity at this auspicious moment to receive this empowerment from the Dudjom Yangsi RInpoche which will not only extend your life but will also bring peace, prosperity, harmony, and wellbeing for yourself and all other parent sentient beings All my blessings, Dungsey Shenphen Dawa Norbu Rinpoche

Ven. Lama Thupten Nima (Lama Gape) Indestructible Bliss Dzogchen Retreat Dewa Dorje: The Guru Of Indestructible Bliss
Empowerment, Teachings and Practice
Dzogchen Bardo Instructions Trekcho and Thogal Teachings of Khenpo Munsel December 7-10, 2018 Bristol, Vermont
Friday, December 7 Dewa Dorje Indestructible Bliss Empowerment Indestructible Bliss Empowerment and Teachings The famous Drigung master Rigdzin Chökyi Dragpa (1595-1659) was doing retreat in the Golden Temple at Drigung Thil. There he had the realization that the root of the entire universe of samsara and nirvana is the Guru of your own mind. Falling asleep in such a state, he had a pure vision of Jigten Sumgön, the founder of the Drigung Kagyü, who taught him the Profound Path of Accomplishing the Guru Cycle in his dreams.
In this cycle of practice one accomplishes the outer guru of the Buddha Shakyamuni, the inner guru of Vajradhara, the secret guru of the father Indestructible Bliss (Dewai Dorje, Vajrasukha) in union with the mother Indestructible Emptiness, and the ultimate Guru that is realized through merging your mind with the mind of your root guru inseparable from Jigten Sumgön. This cycle also contains extensive teachings on the subtle channels, winds, essences, inner fire practices, yogic exercises, karmamudra, and ultimate mahamudra completion stage instructions.
The rare empowerment of the Dewai Dorje is the gateway to all the practices of this profound pure vision cycle. Lama Thubten Nyima will be giving the empowerment on Friday night December 7th and will be giving instructions on the secret Guru practice of Dewai Dorje on Saturday December 8th.
Friday. December 7 - 6 to 9 pm Dewai Dorje Indestructible Bliss Empowerment Sug. Don. $35 2 Elm St. Bristol, VT 05443

His Eminence Gyana Vajra Sakya Rinpoche to Bestow Vajrakilaya 2-days Major Empowerment April 6-7 2019
Venerable Khenpo Kalsang Gyaltsen is delighted to announce that His Eminence Gyana Vajra Rinpoche has consented to bestow the profound Vajrakilaya major empowerment at Tsechen Kunchab Ling on April 6-7, 2019. Vajrakilaya embodies the enlightened activity of all the Buddhas and overcomes obstacles and defilements.
The Khon family, in which His Eminence Gyana Vajra Rinpoche is one of the most important lineage holders, received this practice directly from Padmasambhava in the eighth century, when Buddhism was established in Tibet. Since that time until today, the Khon family lineage holders have maintained the daily practice and realization of Vajrakilaya as their special personal practice. Receiving the blessings of the Vajrakilaya major empowerment directly from such a senior member of the Khon family is an extraordinary blessing. All are encouraged to attend.
