Special Saga Dawa message from Ven. Traga Rinpoche
"The month of Saga Dawa is a very special time when it is the anniversary of three major events in the life of the Buddha Shakyamuni. It is the special anniversary of the Buddha's birth. It is the special anniversary of the Buddha's attainment of complete Buddhahood. It is also the special anniversary of the Buddha's passing into parinirvana. Thus, it is a very sacred month to connect with the Buddha. In the Tibetan tradition, it is particularly meaningful for us Buddhist practitioners. For the entire month it is auspicious to engage in virtuous activities. It is also particularly auspicious on the days of the Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana, as well as other auspicious days like that of Guru Rinpoche. With encouragement to practice, I rejoice in all the merit that all of you create during this special month and make the aspirations that you will all grow closer to the Buddha during this time."
It is said on Saga Dawa the effects of positive and negative actions are multiplied ten million times!
EMAHO!

The Guru is like the rain from the vast cloud of Dharma, moistening our mindstream with goodness. The Guru connects the pure mind, with pure view, to Bodhichitta, the mind of realized Enlightenment; and for that, we offer praise and prayers. Learn about the illustrious teachers who from time-to-time grace our center with blessings and Dharma teachings.

Request to the Worldwide Sangha
The International Administrative Organization for Gargon Monastery recently wrote an important letter to all of the noble sangha and dharma centers in H.E. Garchen Rinpoche's worldwide mandala to request students to organize and participate in long life ceremonies and practices for Garchen Rinpoche.
Next year will be a year of astrological challenges for Garchen Rinpoche, so it is of utmost importance that we practice with pure intent and resolute aspiration for his long life.
Students are requested to continually accumulate White Tara and Namgyalma mantras dedicated to Garchen Rinpoche.
Students can submit their White Tara mantra accumulation at Drikung Rinchen Choling's Web site.
On October 10, 2020, Garchen Rinpoche posted a video message on Garchen Institute's Web site in response to this letter. He wants all his students to know that his current health is very good. Click here to watch this video message.
Also, the Garchen Buddhist Institute's 2020 Winter Teachings Event will include multiple days of Namgylama Long Life practices for Garchen Rinpoche. Stay tuned for more information soon.
We will keep you updated on these practice opportunities.
