by Mipham Rinpoche
•
Empowerment of Yeshe Tsogyal:

Yumka Dechen Gyalmo, Queen of Great Bliss
Revealed by the Great Master Jigme Lingpa

Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche is a holder of the complete Buddhist Nyingma lineage of study and practice. He was enthroned by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche as a Nyingma Abbot. As an accomplished scholar and Vajrayana master, Rinpoche has an amazing ability to convey profound topics simply and directly, making the rich, vast ocean of Dharma accessible and easy to put into practice. (Click here for a more extensive biography.)

Mipham Rinpoche

This retreat will begin on Saturday, January 13th. The teaching for this week-long retreat is based on the Dzogchen text named "Essential Advice on the Key Points of the Nature of Mind which Bestows Awakening in Your Hands" by the great master and scholar Manjushri Mipham Rinpoche. Dzogchen is the pinnacle of Buddha's teaching, and it directly and simply reveals our innate buddha nature. This teaching is in-person and webcast live.

Yumka Dechen Gyalmo

Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa

Sunday, January 14th the empowerment of Yeshe Tsogyal the Queen of Great Bliss, Yumka Dechen Gyalmo will be offered in person. This terma was revealed by the great Nyingma terton and visionary vidyadhara Jigme Lingpa.

The Queen of Great Bliss is considered to be a very powerful practice. It is the heart practice of many great masters, including the Great Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Patrul Rinpoche, and is very popular among ordained and lay practitioners.

The Queen of Great Bliss is the essence of the three Inner Tantras, particularly highlighting Anuyoga combined with Dzogchen. This empowerment will be bestowed in the new shrine room of the Pema Ling retreat center.

The empowerment will not be webcast. It will be performed in person only at Pema Ling.

With the fear of covid-19 subsiding, we encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunity to be in person, and receive the teachings and empowerment and practice together in our beautiful temple. This is the authentic lineage tradition since ancient times.

Registration is Required. The daily schedule is below.
