Join us for Lama Tharchin Rinpoche's Fourth Dechö (Parinirvana Anniversary), August 5-7, 2017.
"When our teachers pass into parinirvana, this means that through their immeasurable compassion, they will be performing their wisdom activity in a different way. One of their activities is to remind us of the inescapable truth of impermanence - to compel us to practice seriously. It is very beneficial during this time (Decho) to do Vajrasattva practice and to sponsor tsok and butterlamps, as well as offer water bowls, prostrations and circumambulations." Lama Sonam Tsering Rinpoche
Recommended Practices and Swift Rebirth Prayers
If you are unable to join us here during this time, Lama Sonam Rinpoche recommends the following prayers and practices:
• Vajrasattva Daily Practice (PDF)
• Dorsem Lama Chopa

• 100 Syllable mantra
• Shower of Blessings

• Swift Rebirth Prayer by Loppon Jigme Rinpoche (PDF)
