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 \; \n \; \n \; \nRecommended Practices and Swift Rebirth Prayers \nIf you are unable to join us here during this time, \;Lama Sonam Rinpoche recommends the following prayers and practices: \; \n&bull\;  \;Vajrasattva Daily Practice \;(PDF)&bull\;  \;Dorsem Lama Chopa&bull\;  \;Ka-Ter Dorsem (this practice is found in the following text: \;"Vajrasattva Meditation Ritual, \;Ritual to Guide the Dead, and Additional Practices" \;)&bull\;  \;100 Syllable mantra&bull\;  \;Shower of Blessings&bull\;  \;Seven Line Prayer \;(PDF)&bull\;  \;Tsok Kang Dechen \;(PDF) \n&bull\;  \;Tsok Kang Trul Pay \;(PDF) \n&bull\;  \;Swift Rebirth Prayer by Loppon Jigme Rinpoche (PDF) \n \; \nWe invite you to \;listen \;to \;Lama Tharchin Rinpoche's dharma talk in Seattle, April 17, 1993 - An Evening of Stories. \n \; \n \; \n \n \; \nAt Pema Osel Ling we will be offering strings of beautiful white lotus lights on the mandala base of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche&rsquo\;s reliquary stupa. \;Lama Sonam Rinpoche has said that "by \;making light offerings, we are praying not only for the enlightenment of all beings, but especially for the swift rebirth of Lama Tharchin \;Rinpoche. \;The outer lights symbolize the inner light of our own practice.
