Make offerings for Summer Retreat 


“Summer Retreat is our Dharma Party, where we gather together. It makes me happy. It also makes HH Dudjom Rinpoche and Kyabje Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche happy because even though their physical body is not with us, their wisdom mind is always watching from Dharmakaya and their compassion and penetration of wisdom blessings is continuous. With practice, teachings, faith and devotion, their wisdom blessings penetrate deeply so we can truly hit the target. I am encouraging all of you to come to Summer Retreat.”  

~Lama Tharchin Rinpoche

Lama Tharchin Rinpoche began Vajrayana Foundation’s annual month-long Summer Retreat over 25 years ago as his main vehicle for passing the Dudjom Tersar practices on to the Sangha. In this, he was tirelessly assisted by resident lamas, Lama Sonam Tsering Rinpoche and Tulku Jamyang Rinpoche, who continue to carry out Rinpoche’s intentions to this day.


This year we will offer the following retreats (please note the date changes for Shitro and Drupchen): 


Wrathful Black Hayagriva - May 24th - 31st

 

Troma Nagmo with Sangye Khandro - June 1st - 9th

 

Shitro Ngakso and Neydren - June 11th

 

Namchak Putri Vajrakilaya Drupchen - June 12th - June 23rd

Children's Retreat - June 15th - June 23rd

 


Summer Retreat is open to everyone.  You are welcome to do the entire Summer, a single retreat, a few days or a couple of sessions --- as your schedule allows --- either as a commuter or as a residential guest. Regarding Drupchen, it is open, but Lama Sonam Rinpoche requests that participants attend at least one full day, including all daytime sessions.
