Lingtrul Rinpoche will be Vajra Master
once again for the third annual Kunzang Nyima Dorsem Lama Chop Pa. We
hope you'll join us in welcoming him back to Austin!
Please note: Empowerment is not necessary to attend. Bell, dorje and
dhamaru are used in this practice. If you have these, you will want to
bring them. Participants may join in for any session or all sessions.
Pre-registration recommended to receive updates.
While it’s best to attend the whole program, it’s also fine to attend as much as your schedule permits.
-- Activities will be held in the Padma House Shrine Room at 605 E. 45th St., Austin TX 78751
-- Parking is available on the side streets off of 45th St. Thank you
for being respectful of our neighbors (no parking in the church lot or
the apartment parking lot next door)
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."
We
rely on your generosity to support having the lamas, attending monks
and chopins travel to Austin for this event. Your support helps with lodging, food and retreat supplies.
