We are sad to hear of the passing of our most humble teacher, Lama Pema Dorje Rinpoche. Rinpoche passed into parinirvana at 4:02 am on July 5th at his home in Oakland, California, surrounded by his family.

Rinpoche was recognized as a tulku of the great Indian adept Padampa Sangye by the revered Buddhist master, Reki Chatral, at a young age. He was part of a generation of young lamas who received teachings from many of the great masters of the mid 20th century. You can read Rinpoche’s complete biography on his website Sangchen Pema Chhoilng.

Guru Yoga ~ part 3 Lama Sonam Rinpoche

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

Tibetan language with English translation by Cy Kassoff

This is the final piece of Lama Sonam Rinpoche’s presentation of the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro. Included here is a discussion of the guru yoga section in three parts: guru yoga, the phowa transference, chod offering, and dedication of merit.
A note about the guru yoga  to clarify the order of practice: Lama Sonam Rinpoche is referring throughout to the slightly longer SaTer Ngondro upon which the Concise Ngondro is based. The SaTer text is arranged a little different in that the Mandala offering precedes the Vajrasattva recitation and the guru yoga section is expanded with more extensive supplication. Traditionally prostrations are performed with the supplication to the guru in the SaTer practice and with Refuge and Bodhicitta in the Concise version. Otherwise the specific instruction for prostrations are the same.
