Winter Retreat with
Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin
January 17 to January 19, 2020
Deity Yoga is the theme of our 2020 Winter Retreat!
Friday night, January 17, Khenpo Tsultrim will give a public talk on meditation and its benefits.
On Saturday morning, January 18, Khenpo Tsultrim will bestow the Manjushri empowerment. In the afternoon he will offer instruction and practice on The Concise Orange-Colored Manjushri sadhana. Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom and Insight, holds the sword of awareness in his right hand to cut through ignorance and delusion. He represents ever-present wisdom. Manjushri empowerment and practice is suitable for students at all levels.
On Sunday, January 19, Khenpo will provide instruction and transmission on a very special Arya Tara Sadhana called Udumvara Flower. This practice is drawn from the Three Special Deities, which were compiled by the rare stream of Marpa Lotsawa. The sadhana contains the Homage to the Twenty-One Taras, which describes each of the 21 emanations of Tara and offers protection from fear, harm and calamities.

In Memoriam
Lisette Nagera
|
Our dear dharma sister, Lisette Nagera, departed her body peacefully on Tuesday, December 31, shortly before midnight, after a valiant battle against a long-term illness. She had the blessings and support of many of her beloved lamas, friends, and sangha members during her transition time.
Lisette had a mighty heart. Her deep compassion for all sentient beings, especially animals, was known and felt by all. She was especially devoted to the Three Jewels and worked to tirelessly to support dharma activities. She spent many years as a RigDzin Dharma Foundation Board member, supported establishing a Drikung Kagyu center in Mexico City, and was an important benefactor to a Drikung Kagyu nunnery in India as well as many other Drikung Kagyu centers. She was a steady presence at teaching events and drubchens, both in the USA and overseas, and benefactor to many humanitarian and animal rescue efforts. Her physical absence leaves a gaping hole at RigDzin, but we rejoice in knowing that she is no longer suffering and on her way to that glorious pureland--Dewachen. She will be sorely missed but is always present in our hearts. |
RigDzin will be holding Bardo prayers and Amitabha mantras for Lisette on Saturday, January 4, at 1 pm at RigDzin Dharma Center.
In addition, RigDzin will hold Bardo prayers for Lisette every Tuesday evening for the next 7 weeks from 6:15 to 7:00 pm, with the last day being February 18.
Please join us if you can, either remotely or in person, to support Lisette on her next journey.

Janna Chandler

Long-time dharma sister Janna Chandler passed away peacefully and surrounded by love on December 27 in Arizona, where she had been living.
Janna was a very special person who brought sunshine, joy, and laughter wherever she went, as well as a deep compassion for all beings. Janna was very devoted to Ven. Traga Rinpoche and continued to support RigDzin after moving away from Albuquerque 10 years ago. She will be dearly missed by many. RigDzin will be holding Bardo prayers for Janna on Tuesday, January 14, at 6:15 pm at the Center. Please join us if you can, either remotely or in person, to offer prayers to assist Janna on her journey to the Pureland. |
