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)
Welcome to the Nangchö Mönlam 2024
Attending this festival or gathering will bring great benefit to everyone.
I invite whoever can to join this mönlam, or peace prayer.
Please, whoever wants to come, you are very welcome, we would be very happy because it’s so much benefit. All the organizers do their best to make sure whoever attends these prayers feels comfortable and at ease. My wish is like, if we continue to do this every year, how much benefit would there be? I hope, I really wish we can pray together every year.

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.
The Art of Meditation
‘Calm abiding’ means the mind resting peacefully. In order to pacify the mind, we start from different skillful means that enable us to diminish our thoughts. Having gradually reduced the flood of our thoughts, if we habituate ourselves to maintaining the mind in its natural state, thoughts will automatically be pacified.
To honour the great masters
Recently, Patrul Rinpoche suggested practicing together on days dedicated to the four great masters who were extremely dedicated and important to our lineage.
We are going to meet for tsok or other group practice in honour of:
Dza Patrul Rinpoche 18/04 (26 May 2024)
Mipham Rinpoche 29/04 (5 June 2024)
Jigme Lingpa 03/09 (4 November 2024)
Lonchenpa 18/12 (28 January 2024; 15 February 2025).

Why meditate?
Troubled by emotions, suffering and anxiety we look for an escape, an exit, a liberation from that.
What is causing that distress is our mind.
Why not having a closer look?
Why not meditate?
