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. 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

The Essential Point of the Effortless Profound Meditation

by Mipham Rinpoche

One’s own nature of mind is fresh awareness-emptiness that never changed from the beginning, and is free from accepting, rejecting, and effort. Abide directly in this nature with confidence. This is the great Dzogchen, the ultimate nature of all phenomena

Our Dzogchen Summer Retreat will be webcast live from Padma Samye Ling July 17 – 24.

The webcast will include all four daily sessions:

• Morning Buddha Shakyamuni Practice
• Late Morning Teachings
• Late Afternoon Dharmapala Practice
• Evening Heart Sutra Practice

Everyone is asked to register to participate in this retreat, even if you have registered for other retreats and online teachings. Thank you.

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!
