Dear friends,

Zangdok Palri Institute is delighted to announce the dates of 2020 Drupchen retreats, Shedras, and Words of My Perfect Teacher study cycles.

This year there will be a special intensive umze and chopön training course before the Rigdzin Dupa Drupchen, 15 to 23 February. The annual celebration of Losar will take place right after the Drupchen.

Rinpoche’s schedule is always up-to-date here. It is safe to have a look at it before booking your plane tickets.

We hope to see you soon, wherever Rinpoche’s activities take place.

Have a wonderful year filled with happiness and meaningful activities!

The Power of Vajrasattva Practice

Moving Beyond Negativity

“The hundred syllable mantra is the quintessence of the mind of all the Sugatas. It purifies all violations, all breaches, all conceptual obscurations.
It is the supreme confession, and to recite it one hundred and eight times without interruption repairs all violations and breaches and will save one from tumbling into the three lower realms.
The Buddhas of past, present and future will look on the yogi who recites it as a daily practice as their most excellent child, even in this very lifetime, and will watch over and protect him.
At his death he will undoubtedly become the finest of all the Buddhas’ heirs.”

(The Words of my Perfect Teacher, Patrul Rinpoche)

New Shedra Study Cycle in 2024

We are very happy to announce a new Study Cycle taught by Dzogchen Ranyak Patrul Rinpoche, with the assistance of Lopön Tsering Gönpo and Lopön Jampa Norgyal. Launched in 2005, this program is an excellent way to understand the “Nine Vehicles”, a gradual approach to the teachings of the Buddha. At the end of the study cycle, students are ready to receive instructions on the Great Perfection, the pinnacle of all vehicles.

From The Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish

Quote (Buddha Shakyamuni) 

Do not disregard small misdeeds,
Thinking they are harmless,
Because even tiny sparks of flame,
Can set fire to a mountain of hay.
