Padma Gyalpo Empowerment and Practice by H.E. Togdan Rinpoche

Padma Gyalpo Empowerment and Practice
by H.E. Togdan Rinpoche

Online-Event on 15.05. & 16.06.2021 from 14:00 - 17:00

His Eminence Togdan Rinpoche has compassionately agreed to expand the capacity of the upcoming class. So here is an update from Facebook:

Dear Venerables, brothers and sisters!

Out of compassion for fellow mother sentient beings, His Eminence Togdan Rinpoche has decided to allow more of us to participate in the Padma Gyalpo Empowerment and Practice programme of 15 and 16 May 2021.
Before you proceed to register yourself for this programme, here are the 'terms and conditions' again. Only register if you are able to fulfill them!

'Terms and Conditions':
1) Do not participate just to get the empowerments. His Eminence make it known that there are commitments to fulfill after taking the series of Padma Gyalpo empowerments. You will need to:
  1. A) Complete 500,000 counts of the Padma Gyalpo Mantra and Regularly do the full practice (there is no short cut way to practice it!) So register only if you are serious about practicing them!
2) You must without fail, participate in person for both sessions on 15 and 16 May 2021.
The programme is only meant for full time participants via Zoom. It won't be telecasted over FaceBook or Youtube! And there won't be sharing of any recordings thereafter too.
All participants must have their Zoom video 'on' throughout the programme. We apologise in advance that your participation may be curtailed if otherwise.

3) Programme texts and His Eminence's instructions on how to set up a temporary altar will be shared only with registered participants.
The texts are done through great effort by our group of dedicated translators with page numbers standardised regardless of languages. Use this text and you won't be lost during the programme.

4) The signal (wifi or mobile) in Ladhak (where Rinpoche resides) is unpredictable. Be prepared that the programme may be dhsrupted. And if organisers are unable to revive the teaching within a reasonable amount of time, we may cut short the programme and postpone it to another day following His Eminence's choice. Please do not complain and we thank you for your understanding and patience.

5) Because the sessions are short, we discourage questions during the Zoom sessions. It is best to refrain from asking questions even in the Zoom chat room. This is because His Eminence prefers all participants to focus on learning and understanding his teachings.
After the weekend programmes, group teachings and practices sometimes led by experienced sangha members are arranged on a once a month basis. You can note down your questions and ask them during these group practices, or you can email Drikung Dharma Chakra Centre at chenrezigmantra@gmail.com your questions and have them answered by Rinpoche during his free time.

Register if after reading the above information, you remain committed and positive about the programme. You will be glad you didn't miss it!
