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.

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!

Recitation of the Heart Sutra has been a part of our weekly practice at Palm Beach Dharma Center for many years, and it is a daily practice during retreats.
While we cannot practice together during this time, we can practice remotely, using this video of the Heart Sutra Practice.
We dedicate the merit of this practice for all sentient beings.
