Anam Thubten Rinpoche will offer a special root text oral transmission of the Do Gyud Dzod (The Complete Nyingma Tradition from Sutra to Tantra) at 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 8, in a collaboration with the Lama Tharchin Rinpoche Heritage Foundation and the Drangsong Foundation.
Lama Tharchin Rinpoche was responsible for organizing the translation of this exceptional set of teachings, and so it is a fitting commemoration of the first twelve-year lunar cycle of Rinpoche's parinirvana. Rinpoche's Dechö and practice of Dorsem Lama Chöpa are August 9th. Learn More.
The 12th anniversary of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche's Parinirvana takes place 7:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Aug. 9.
There is no charge for attending the Dechö, but we invite you to make offerings for this special puja. There will be no meals or accommodations available.
In 2020 we began accumulating the Vajra Guru Mantra to bring balance to the World. We have collectively achieved our goal - 100,000,000!
Tulku Thadral Rinpoche would like us to accumulate another 100 Million.
We have reached 7.7 million as of May 1 2025
Join us to start accumulating at any time and submit your totals, weekly, monthly or otherwise to offerings@vajrayana.org
Thank you for helping in this great effort!
