The Drupchen Tong-Thun

The Vajrayana Foundation 33 years of unbroken Drupchen Retreats began with a tenth lineage holder of the Repkong Ngakpas, Lama Tharchin Tsedrup Rinpoche, a Tibetan Dzogchen master in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.

On July 9th, the 10th day of the Tibetan Month of the Iron Monkey in the year of Water Tiger, we celebrate a most auspicious day, Guru Rinpoche’s birthday with Drupchen Sindhis and with the Empowerment of Dudujom Rinpoche’s (Jigral Yeshe Dorje) Collection of Seven Treasures to be bestowed by Tulku Thadral Rinpoche. Join Tulku Sangye Tenzin, Tulku Jamyang Rinpoche, Khenpo Sonam Rinpoche, and Lama Sonam Tsering Rinpoche at the Peme Osel Ling Retreat Center in the Santa Cruz Mountains for this Dharma Celebration or you can join via livestream for great blessings.

Here are the direct no registration livestream session links:

The Benefits of Drupchen

 

by Lama Tharchin Rinpoche
June 29, 2006

One reason this “Collection of Seven Treasures” practice of Guru Rinpoche is considered to be so special is that it gathers together seven different treasure lineages into one. This is through the kindness, once again, of Yeshé Tsogyal, who asked Kyabje Rinpoche to do just that. You can imagine if we didn’t have this practice, it might be possible here in the West for some people to find a few of those lineages but probably not all of them. The same is true even in Tibet. Some of those lineages would be accessible to people, but rarely would they be able to gather all seven together. Thanks to the kindness of Yeshé Tsogyal, however, all the blessing and the power of all seven lineages have been gathered within this single practice by Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche.
