Empowerment of Guru Padmasambhava as Guru Vidyadhara (in person only)
Revealed by the Great Terton Tsasum Lingpa
Guru Padmasambhava gave a variety of teachings to benefit future generations. Among these, in the Vajrayana, connecting to your teacher is essential to invoke the power and beauty of the nature of mind. Therefore Guru Rinpoche gave many teachings on how to practice on Guru Padmasambhava, many of which were hidden by the wisdom dakini Yeshe Tsogyal.
This particular terma was revealed by the famous terton Tsasum Lingpa in the 17th century, and is considered one of the blessed and powerful practices for connecting to Guru Rinpoche as a sambhogakaya emanation known as Guru Vidyadhara. This terma is a condensed practice of all three Inner Tantras of Mahayoga, Anuyoga, and Atiyoga.
Empowerment Date: Sunday Morning, January 15
In Person Only at Pema Ling in Jupiter, Florida
The Dzogchen teachings are the highest and most direct teachings of the Buddha Shakyamuni on the nature of mind. They show us how to discover our own inner beauty and realize everlasting peace for ourselves and all beings. Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche will give these rare and essential heart instructions according to the great master Shechen Gyaltsab Gyurme Pema Namgyal Rinpoche. These direct and profound teachings impart the critical points and central supports for all practitioners to maintain to keep our practice fresh, alive, and beneficial for everyone.
“In brief, to recognize your own nature is the view.
When you abide within it, that is the meditation.
And if you have no attachment, that is superior conduct.
When you arrive at the primordially free fundamental nature, that is described as the fruition.
All are included in the natural state beyond concepts.”
Shechen Gyaltsab Gyurme Pema Namgyal Rinpoche (1871-1926) was the reincarnation of Orgyen Rangjung Dorje, and was the fourth regent of Shechen Monastery. Shechen Gyaltsab was the disciple and heart-son of Mipham Rinpoche. He also studied closely with the First Great Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and the First Great Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, among many other extraordinary Nyingma and Sarma masters. He focused for many decades on the key points of Creation and Completion Stage practices. Shechen Gyaltsab excelled in all three activities of the learned–exposition, debate, and composition–undertaking the three practices of listening, reflecting and meditating for his own benefit, and the three activities of teaching, debating and writing for the benefit of others.
Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche is a holder of the complete Buddhist Nyingma lineage of study and practice. He was enthroned by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche as a Nyingma Abbot. As an accomplished scholar and Vajrayana master, Rinpoche has an amazing ability to convey profound topics simply and directly, making the rich, vast ocean of Dharma accessible and easy to put into practice. (A more extensive biography of Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche can be found by clicking here.)
Shechen Gyaltsab Gyurme Pema Namgyal Rinpoche’s root text “A Short Discourse on the View, Meditation, and Conduct” is available to participants as a free download.

The new shrine room is beautiful!
We have completed the epoxy design on the shrine room floor, as you can see in the photo above. We are continuing to work on interior and exterior trim details and painting Tibetan designs.
We are also beginning to design the renovation of the remaining two barns, converting one into a sangha hall and the other into retreat rooms. We hope to have this work completed in the next couple of years.
