The much awaited film of Yangsi Rinpoche's visit to Lerab Ling.

If you are lucky enough to be in the USA and somewhere close to Colorado you can still see Yangsi Rinpoche live at Phuntsok Choling.

New Video: Dilgo Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche Teaching at Lerab Ling

On 19 July 2010,  Dilgo Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche gave a public teaching at Lerab Ling, in front of Rabjam Rinpoche, Sogyal Rinpoche and a thousand people gathered in the temple.  Thousands more, both Rigpa students and the general public, tuned in via the live video stream.

Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche to lead drupchen at Lerab Ling

From 9-20 August 2010, Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche, assisted by over twenty lamas and monks from the Chokling Monastery in Bir, India, will lead a drupchen of Tukdrup Barché Kunsel ‘The Guru’s Heart Practice that Dispels all Obstacles’ at Lerab Ling.

A drupchen is a form of intensive group practice that continues through the day and night without  break over a number of days.  

Rigpa students in the Ngöndro or Dzogchen Mandala, and any Rigpa student who has received a Guru Rinpoche empowerment, are welcome to attend the Drupchen and participate in the practices. Please visit lerabling.org for more information.

 

And everyone is welcome to participate in the drupchen by dedicating an offering  in the name of a family member, a loved one, or for a particular cause.  All the names and dedications we receive will be kept in the shrine room where the drupchen will take place, and will be honoured at the conclusion of this great cycle of practice.

If you would like to do this, you can make an offering here.  After you have made your offering, you will recieve a confirmation email that will explain how to make your dedication.
