I go for refuge and take delight

Dudjom Lingpa thangka from
Sonam Famarin collection

“I go for refuge and take delight in the consummate expanse of your wisdom mind,
All sacred, supreme objects of refuge, please pay heed!
Through cultivating and training in the awakened mind,
May the glorious potential to empty the depths of samsara be achieved!

I completely confess all accumulated faults and obscurations of the body, speech and mind
And pray that all victorious ones do not enter nirvana but remain.
The root of all virtue is dedicated to all beings.
Together may we attain fully enlightened Buddhahood.”

~ Dudjom Lingpa / H.H. Kabjey Dudjom Rinpoche

Lama Tharchin Rinpoche’s Seventh Decho Parinirvana Anniversary

Repost from: Heart Teachings

We’re very honored and delighted that in commemoration of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche’s seventh dechö parinirvana anniversary, this Saturday, August 1 at 3 pm Pacific Time, Chakung Jigme Wangdrak Rinpoche (ལྕགས་ཁུང་འཇིགས་མེད་དབང་དྲག)  will offer a teaching inspired by his profound prayer of supplication to Lama Tharchin Rinpoche,
The Healing Medicine of Faith.”

The fourth descendent of the great Nyingma master Dudjom Lingpa, recognized as the reincarnation of Rigzin Longsel Nyingpo, and an accomplished spiritual teacher, Chakung Jigme Wangdrak Rinpoche composed the supplication at the request of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche’s students following his passing. It has been a source of inspiration and connection with the Dzogchen path and wisdom mind of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche and our sublime Dudjom lineage for many of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche’s heart students.

Immeasurable Phenomena

Pema Osel Ling Retreat Center Shrine Room


All immeasurable phenomena can be synthesized into the two categories of samsara and enlightenment.

To take the immeasurable phenomena of samsara and enlightenment into the path of enlightenment by sustaining the effortless beginningless openness of dharmadhatu, what is found?

Just as they arise, they do not exist in reality because they are manifestation. Whenever the phenomena of whatever one has, says, or thinks arise, even if one thinks of them for many eons, they are just arising; there is no reality.

Even whenever one sleeps, it is still sustaining in dharmadhatu, because even sleep is the unobstructed state.

Whenever dreams arise, there is no dream, because one is just staying in sole awareness mind. Like a bed, one is there relaxing. In unobstructed space, whatever comes, just as it arises, there is nothing exact, not any reality.

In summary, the outer container of the universe and the inner essence of sentient beings, all states of happiness and suffering, and so on that depend on the interdependent connection between root circumstances and contributing circumstances are rooted in the mind of duality, which creates everything.
