Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal will lead this very special practice commemorating his beloved brother, and our beloved teacher, Ven. Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche.
Join us in honoring the life and legacy of our precious Root Teacher, Venerable Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche. Special ceremonies and practices will webcast from Glorious Padma Samye Ling, beginning at 3:30 pm EDT and continuing until 5:30 pm.
You turned the golden wheel of the stainless doctrine of Khenpo Shantarakshita, Lopon Padmasambhava, and Dharma King Trisong Deutsen all over the world.
You established centers that uphold the study and practice of the great secret Vajrayana, which continuously follow the cycles of the sun and moon.
You made glorious gifts of empowerments, pith instructions, and the three wisdoms to students everywhere.
Great Khenpo, Glorious Wisdom, you are the protector of beings, the Lord of Dharma, and the Supreme Lama,
Certainly you are a son of the Buddha.
-Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche

After a spring series that was rich in insight and dialog, our Sunday Morning book discussion group is taking its annual summer break. We will return in the fall to continue our exploration of the Venerable Rinpoches’ profound teachings. We look forward to seeing you then – perhaps in person!
During this summer, we will enjoy a wealth of teachings and other activities!
- Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche will teach online on June 12 and June 26, continuing his wonderful exposition of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche’s Heart Advice to the Fortunate Ones.
- Ven. Rinpoche will also lead our summer retreat at our beautiful monastery and retreat center in the Catskills, Padma Samye Ling. The full four sessions each day will be webcast so that all of us can participate!
- Lama Laia and Lama Dragpa will continue their commentary and practice of the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro on Saturday afternoons, while our new Spanish language series will be offered on Sunday mornings.
- Other online offerings will include the All Good Buddha and Remembrance Practice on the full moon and a new series of talks on Buddhist History. Please see our other posts and our schedule for details on this lively summer.
See you in the fall!
On the night of the full moon, June 24, at 7:00 pm EST, we will resume our practice of the All Good Buddha, Kuntuzangpo, and our remembrance practice for those who have passed into the bardo or otherwise need our prayers.
Please check back here later for information on text availability. To purchase a copy of the text, please click here or contact Karin at the PBDC Bookstore.
If you would like someone to be remembered in this practice, please email info@pbdc.net by June 23 so that we have time to prepare the list. It is customary to make a donation when asking for prayers; if you would like to do so, please on the link below.
The Prayer of Kuntuzangpo is the enlightened view of the Primordial Buddha. It’s also an aspiration prayer on the path of discovering the true nature of reality. It expresses the different ways that primordial awareness appears, and helps us understand that it’s only our clouded understanding that makes things appear other than they really are.
Ven. Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche
Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche
As an offering to the Florida and Tennessee sanghas, Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche has requested that Lama Laia & Lama Dragpa begin webcasting their Saturday Ngondro sessions.
These sessions will be offered from 3:30 – 5:30 pm EDT on Saturdays:
-
- May 29
- June 5
- June 12
- June 26
For those who wish to join, instructions will be given on the essential points of the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro foundational practices, their vital importance within Tibetan Buddhism, as well as instructions for each section, including Refuge, Bodhichitta, Mandala, Vajrasattva practice, and Guru Yoga.
The essential meaning of this practice is that the Tibetan Buddhist foundational practices of Ngondro embody all the teachings of the Buddha. They are a perfect and complete framework for cultivating a balanced, effective, and rewarding spiritual practice.
We’ll also get to practice the entire Ngondro every session!

Las cualidades que conforman las circunstancias presentes dependen enteramente de las causas y condiciones generadas en el pasado.

Exploring Mindfulness
Saturdays at 11:15 a.m.
The qualities which make up the present circumstances depend entirely on causes and conditions generated in the past. The future will be shaped in part by the causes and conditions today. The present contains the causes for the future, so now is the time to plant beneficial seeds of tomorrow.

His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje
His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje was born in the early 20th century, and was a renowned body emanation of Drokben Khyechung Lotsawa, speech emanation of Yeshe Tsogyal, and mind emanation of Guru Padmasambhava. In particular, Khyechung Lotsawa emanated as many great tertons and scholar-masters throughout the centuries in Tibet. Guru Padmasambhava predicted the coming of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, including his exact birthplace, family, and personality.
H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche became one of the great masters of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as the supreme head of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. He worked closely with H.H. the Dalai Lama to reactivate Tibetan culture and religion. Yet at the same time, Dudjom Rinpoche was very humble and simple. He was the spiritual father to numerous distinguished practitioners, many of whom later became great lineage holders. He was very available to all devotees, and at their request, gave numerous pith instructions of nugget Dzogchen teachings that open the heart and mind. Through his teachings, we discover the original, innate nature of mind so we can live in the world happily and leave with tremendous confidence and signs of realization.
