“At the time of a great teacher’s parinirvana, it is an opportunity to connect with the lama’s wisdom mind, which is always present. This is the best time to do practice.”
~ Lama Sonam Tsering Rinpoche of the Vajrayana Foundation
On February 11th 2025, the Vajrayana Foundation will celebrate the 3rd Decho Parinirvana Anniversary of Kyabje (Lord of Refuge) Dudjom Rinpoche III Sangye Pema Shepa with the Dorsem Lama Chopa Puja and Tsok. The first Session will begin at 9am and continue after the lunch break at 2pm Pacific. Join us at Pema Osel Ling or by YouTube livestream.
If you are unable to join us in person or online, Lama Sonam Rinpoche recommends that, for your own accumulation of merit, “it would be very beneficial during this time to do the Seven-Line Prayer to Guru Rinpoche or the Vajra Guru Mantra, to sponsor Tsok and Butterlamps, and make any kinds of offerings, including water bowl offerings, prostrations and circumambulations.”
Supplication Prayer: Cloud Banks of Blessings, A Supplication Prayer for Calling the Guru from Afar, by Dudjom Sangye Pema Shepa Rinpoche “Many years ago, Sangye Gyalmo requested me for such a supplication. I, however, felt it unnecessary at the time and left it. She persisted and so as not to refuse her earnest requests, I reflected on the teaching that the common and uncommon spiritual accomplishments result from supplicating the guru as inseparable from one’s own mind – the indivisible three kayas – and wrote this on New Year’s Day, the Year of the Metal Ox.
