Tulku Theglo Rinpoche Visits Palri Pema Od Ling - May 8th - 21st
At
the request of Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche, Tulku Theglo (son of the
terton Kunzang Nyima) will bestow lineage blessings in Austin. He will
be giving empowerments for both Dudjom Lingpa and Kunzang Nyima.
Gyatrul
Rinpoche writes..."It is important for all of you who are my dharma
friends to make every effort not to miss this rare opportunity to
receive blessings that I thought would never be able to be received
again. Among the 108 great tertons, Kunzang Nyima is unrivaled and not
only that in this degenerate time masters capable of giving authentic
empowerments have almost vanished from our world. I pray that we all
make use of our most precious human rebirth and connect with the three
kaya wisdom Buddha nature of Guru Padmasambhava as swiftly as possible."

Vajrasattva Drup Chöd ~ Dor Sem Lama Chöd Pa
June 20th - 28th
Vajrasattva is the main deity practice for purification in the Vajrayana tradition and is practiced in various forms. This buddha is white in color, symbolizing purity, and holds a dorje (vajra) at his heart and a bell at his hip, signifying the union of skillful means and wisdom. This practice engages in the method of offering, through which one gains the merit to purify obscurations and negativities. Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche explains, “This retreat itself is a Vajrasattva lama offering, a lama accomplishment practice. We are essentially meditating on our own lama in the pure, enlightened form of Vajrasattva, Dorje Sem Pa, and we accomplish or realize the true nature of the lama in the form of Vajrasattva through this practice.” This retreat is open to all, with or without the empowerment.

We
have the path, and the path is profound. Without effort on our part,
we will never experience the result. No one can practice for us. Once
we've decided on a path, we must pursue it with total enthusiasm
and without a divided mind. If we're always hesitating, we never
develop anything. If we have great faith in our path, the results we
experience will be great.
Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche
