Luis Almeida from Miami, Florida flew to California for the weekend to attend the Vajrasattva Pujas for Chatral Rinpoche’s Parinarvana. Luis is a participant of the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro Program at Vajrayana Foundation. He has been enrolled in the Ngondro Program since July, 2015. This was his first time to Pema Osel Ling. I (Sonam) was so inspired, I asked him to say a few words about his experience here.

Lama Sonam Rinpoche gave the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro lung today for the Ngondro Sunday Accumulation Group. The next Group Accumulation will be Saturday, February 20th @ 10AM. Mark you calendars.

Reminder:  This Thursday, January 21st @ 6pm will be the Bodhichitta webcast. Prepare your questions and watch for the Zoom logon information in your email.

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.

Your Dharma friends,
