Dudjom Tersar Ngondro Accumulation
Vajrayana Foundation Pema Osel Ling Shrine Room
January  17  10AM. to 1 PM  PST

Due to the parinirvana of Kyabje Chatral Sangye Dorje Rinpoche. Special Vajrasattva pujas have been scheduled in the shrine room from January 11 ~ 20.  Everyone is welcome to join us at any time this Sunday,  January 17th for group accumulation session, followed by a lunch in the dining hall. Bring a brown bag lunch or you may make the $10 suggested donation for lunch. The shrine room will be available for personal accumulations and in the back room.

The Vajrasattva pujas do not need to conflict with your accumulation practice. Lama Sonam Rinpoche has said it would be fine for you to come and practice your accumulations in the back room of the shrine during the Vajrasattva pujas that will be going on. You are also welcome to join us at any time for the puja itself. 

This time, for the next several weeks, is a very important time to practice, to make offerings, to practice virtuous activities, and abstain from non-virtuous activities.
 

Everyone is welcome to join in the practice from  wherever you are, on Jan. 17 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PT.

 

Unless someone is willing to set up a Google Hangout for those not local to accumulate together, we won’t have that option this time. Please join us if you aren’t local, by doing your own practice from home at the same time. We would love to have you join us in whatever way you can.

 As you wander aimlessly O friend!

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

HH Dudjom Rinpoche
As you wander aimlessly,
Or wherever you stay in unpredictable solitary places,
Pray to your Lama, receive empowerment, and merge your mind with your Lama’s mind.

In continual inseparability with your wisdom deity, the mantra, and meditative state, Conclude that samsara and enlightenment are resolved in the Great Perfection
And take uncontrived naked empty awareness as the path.

Give gifts of tormas and tantric feasts to the dakinis and protectors of the Dharma,
Make pure prayers of aspiration with compassion for beings.
Preserve your vows and tantric commitments as a pledge you make with your life.

Within a relaxed open state without physical, verbal, or mental activity,
You reach right now the citadel of Buddha Kuntu Zangpo’s wisdom mind.
Happy in this life, happy in the next, happy continually.

Practice in this easy and effective way.
Make supplications: It will be impossible for us to be apart!

I, Jigdral Yeshé Dorjé, spontaneously spoke this for Rikzang Dorjé as a token upon his departure.

An Aspiration to the Great Perfection

HH Dudjom Rinpoche

May we gain conviction in the view,
     wherein samsara and nirvana are the same.

May we have consummate skill in meditation,
     a natural flow unaltered, uncontrived.

May we bring our action to perfection,
     a natural, unintended, spontaneity.

May we find the dharmakaya,
     beyond all gaining and rejection.
