To nurture stillness, to nurture spiritual experiences, to nurture samadhi and other spiritual states ~ these are common.
But by the strength of your devotion for realization to arise from within due to the Lama’s blessings ~ this is rare.
~ Dudjom Rinpoche Quotes
Artist: not known
“As Guru Rinpoche was leaving Tibet for the cannibal island of Ngayab Ling, Yeshé Tsogyal recited this prayer to him. Her last direct prayer is profound and full of the blessings of her longing. Although ultimately Guru Rinpoché and Yeshé Tsogyal have no separation, on a relative historical level, these were her last words uttered with very intense and powerful intention and aspiration. The prayer was revealed as a terma (dharma treasure) by the tertön (treasure revealer) Pema Lingpa in fifth century Tibet. All Nyingma practitioners and followers of Guru Rinpoché and Yeshé Tsogyal recite this prayer. His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoché recited this prayer at the end of each sadhana session. Prayer is a very important part of our practice. We are trying to accomplish enlightenment in this lifetime. But if we don’t completely reach the result based on our own ability, making prayers of aspiration forms a connection to continue our goal after this lifetime, in the bardo, and throughout future lifetimes – it has that great power. Prayer connects us with the blessings of the deity. Through the accumulation of merit and wisdom by making prayers of aspiration, sooner or later our goals reach fruition.”

In turn, we receive teachings from Lama Sonam Tsering Rinpoche,
Amy Green and Drupon Frederico Trancoso. How does that look?
We all read and study together from Kyabje Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche’s A Cascading Waterfall of Nectar. We pause to contemplate what was read and have a period to ask questions. If you are online, use the chat box to ask your question and it will be read.
