PROGRAMME
Led by Lama Rinchen.
We are going to perform Dorje Phagmo long puja (Dorje Phagmo Drubtab), based on the sand mandala and with a fire puja (jinsek) at the end.
Everyone can be present in the temple during that ritual. However, in order to actively participate in the practice, the Dorje Phagmo empowerment and individual permission of Lama Rinchen is required. Though for other people it is possible, to stay in the temple during sessions and do their own practice or recite favourite prayers or mantras. You can also make donations for the costs of participation or meals of the participants or make a donate materials we need during the rituals (rice for the offering bowls, oats for tormas, butter for ornaments, tealights, incense, tsok, etc). By engaging in all these activities we accumulate merit and receive the same blessing of Dorje Phagmo as those who take active part in the practice.
Dorje Phagmo, known also as Vajrayogini, is a main meditative deity in the Karma Kamtsang tradition. She was a secret yidam of great forefathers of the Kagyu lineage: Marpa, Milarepa and Gampopa, as well as successive Karmapas. For thirteen generations the teachings about her were transmitted by a master only to one selected disciple. Presently it is the most frequently used Yidam practice in our tradition. It is said that the sadhana is a gate leading both into the mahamudra practice and the Six Dharmas of Naropa, and that its blessing especially quickly brings to insight.
For those who received abhisheka and individual permission by Lama Rinchen, on Sunday 30 June teachings about the procedure and meaning of Dorje Phagmo ritual will be given.
