Although we do not require payment for these precious teachings, donations are greatly appreciated and needed. Since the pandemic our accounts have been drained and any support to keep our centre active would be greatly appreciated.
DAILY PRACTICE
Dear Dharma friends,
We welcome everyone to join Daily Prayers and Practice dedicated for our beloved Garchen Rinpoche’s excellent health & long life.
Vajrasattva and Amitayus prayers from our Daily Prayers text will be included and the merit dedicated with great love for Garchen Rinpoche. Khenmo Tsechik & Lopön Gamtso will lead us in Buddha Amitayus prayers, along with Konchok Jigme leading us in prayers as well.
“By sincerely practicing these prayers and dedicating the merit, we pray that Garchen Rinpoche’s life may remain stable and long, free from obstacles, and that he may continue to benefit countless beings for many years to come.”

Commitments: Khenpo has requested all students join the preliminary teachings and practice before receiving Flight of the Garuda teachings.
It’s very important to commit to receive the Flight of the Garuda teachings from beginning to end. Recordings will be available upon request.
Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche will give teachings on this profound Dzogchen text written by Shabkarpa in the 19th century. These poetic, luminous songs of realization point directly to our pure nature. This is a special and rare opportunity to study this Dzogchen text.
A Mandala Offering of Gratitude
With profound gratitude and devotion, we invite the global Sangha to come together for a special Mandala Offering to Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche upon the completion of his extensive and precious Garuda teachings.
Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche has generously shared profound teachings and instructions with practitioners around the world. As this precious teaching comes to completion, let us unite as one Sangha and offer our heartfelt appreciation through the practice of Mandala Offering.
The mandala represents the offering of the entire universe, expressing our devotion, generosity, gratitude, and aspiration for the flourishing of the Dharma.
Everyone is warmly encouraged to participate according to their own circumstances. The size of the offering is not important, our sincere intention matters most.
May our collective offering bring long life and everything auspicious to our precious teachers, unite the global Sangha, and become a cause for the liberation and happiness of all sentient beings.
