Saturday Nov. 7, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
We are overjoyed to announce that Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche will continue his teachings on His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche’s Heart Advice for the Fortunate Ones.
As many of you know, Rinpoche kindly gave in-depth commentary oj these heart instructions this past spring and early summer.
On these two days Rinpoche will summarize and conclude these precious teachings from His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche.
In addition, November 7 marks one of the four special Buddhist festivals that relate to the life of Buddha Shakyamuni. Lha Bab Duchen commemorates Buddha Shakyamuni’s return to the human world after teaching his mother in the god realms, where he spent three months imparting teachings and repaying her kindness.
During these days, it is said that the effects of positive and negative actions are multiplied 10 million times, so practice is strongly encouraged!

The PSL Stupas Have Been Installed!
As Buddha Shakyamuni told in the Sutra teachings, if you build a temple or stupa that represents the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, it will bring tremendous merit. Even when it is gone, the dust of this place will continue to generate merit and benefit to all those connected to this project. According to that, we dedicate this merit.
By this merit may all obtain omniscience.
May it defeat the enemy, wrong-doing.
From the stormy waves of birth, old age, sickness, and death,
From the ocean of samsara, may I free all beings.
Monday, October 12, is the tenth day of the waning moon and a very special day for practice in the Vajrayana Sangha.
Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche will lead our monthly Dakini practices via live stream webcast from Palden Padma Samye Ling
We will begin at 3:30 pm EDT and continue until about 5:45.
(If you are in a different time zone, this link will take you to a time zone converter.)
Prayers and Practices with links
The main sadhana practice will be Khandro Thugtig (Heart Essense of the Dakini) revealed by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche. If you need to obtain a copy, it can be purchased at our online Dhama store, Pemai Chiso.
We will also use the Stainless King.
Our daily healing practices will be included.

Arising almost instantly!
In a little over a week, a new Stupa Garden has been erected at Padma Samye Ling!
Ven. Khenpo Rinpoche and his brother, Ven. Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche, had planned for years to build a stupa garden in the lower meadow at our Catskills monastery and retreat center. The carved stone blocks arrived from Indonesia this year, but assembling these massive pieces required special equipment and skills.
Through the generosity of a sangha friend, a talented crew who usually work on installations of monumental sculptures arrived the last week of September. Eight days later, the stupas are built!
Members of the PSL community and Dharma Skills Program pitched in and worked alongside the sculpture artists. Lama Lorraine, with Lama Laia and Lama Dragpa, led a group who worked long, hard hours to prepare treasures from all over the world that are now stored inside the stupas. Khenpo Rinpoche oversaw the entire project, and was very happy with the results.
Here is a collection of photos and short videos to help give a sense of the work. Sangha members and friends from around the world helped make this a reality through prayer and donations, so it is only right that everyone be able to participate a little in the event.
Thank you all!

Labor Day is traditionally the last chance for a summer vacation, and we have decided to take advantage of the opportunity to take a small break from our Tuesday online Heart Sutra practice. Our break will begin September 1. We look forward to returning later in the fall and practicing this beautiful sadhana together then.

DUE TO VERY HIGH INTEREST, THIS CLASS IS NOW FILLED.
Are you feeling the need to do something spiritual and creative in these unusual times? Or have you done so many recitations of mantra over the last few months that you need to fix your mala that has broken? Or maybe you’re feeling so inspired by Venerable Khenpo Rinpoche’s teachings on bodhicitta that you’d like to make a mala to give to someone whom you think will benefit from it. If any of these situations describe you, then this mala-making workshop is made for you!
Join in and learn:
- How to make a full-length mala (108 beads)
- How to make a wrist mala
- How to repair a broken mala
We will gather together via Zoom so that you’ll be able to ask questions and get advice on problems that you’re encountering.
Please register in advance for this class, so we can prepare for the number of participants. People who register will be emailed the link to the Zoom meeting for the class.
To register either email us at info@pbdc.net or call 561-547-4711. Please register early so that you can receive preliminary instructions on what supplies you’ll need. Since you may have to order on-line and wait for them to arrive, the earlier you register and get the instructions, the more likely your supplies will get to you on time.
Donations are not required, but are greatly appreciated. All donations will go to the upkeep of the Palm Beach Dharma Center.
This series of talks given in the summer & fall of 2020 looks at our rich and diverse history from a different point of view. From the Buddha’s life, we focus on the well-developed Buddhism of India that was transplanted to Tibet, how these traditions flourished in Tibet through the centuries, and their re-emergence into the wider world in the last hundred years.
Please enjoy these recorded talks while we prepare for the next series!
