On May 9 and 10, Trome Jigme Rinpoche will offer empowerment and teachings on Rigdzin Düpa, as well as conduct a tsog of this practice.
The Rigdzin Düpa sadhana belongs to the Longchen Nyingtik, a cycle granted to Jigme Lingpa (1729-1798) through a series of three visions he had of the great master Longchen Rabjampa (1308-1363). This cycle soon spread throughout Tibet, becoming one of the most influential lineages of the Nyingma tradition, which continues to this day.
Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche received this transmission of the Longchen Nyingthig from both Khenpo Dorje and Tromge Tulku Arik, and practiced it extensively during the years he lived and traveled throughout Asia. Tromge Jigme Rinpoche received it from his father, Chagdud Rinpoche, and from Khenpo Ngagchung.
Prerequisite: You must have received the Rigdzin Düpa empowerment. The empowerment will be granted on the 9th.
The empowerment is part of the retreat, but you may attend the empowerment only.
Registration is now open.
