In Kyabje Garchen Rinpoche's Lineage
Lama Garchen Rinpoche has said many times: “English is very kind, as it unites us in practice.” According to Rinpoche’s instruction, for many months we have been gathering online to recite various practices in English, such as Vajrakīla, Yamantaka, OM AH HUNG Vajra recitation, and Calling the Guru from Afar. In order to make these practices available for everyone in the precious Garchen family, we made this calendar.
Available practices
Online sessions in Zoom
Calling the Guru from Afar
Lead by Ani Dagme with sharing screen, dedications from the Yellow GBI Prayer book. Rinpoche has often advised us to take this profound and powerful prayer to heart. This prayer was composed by Lodro Thaye, and we are using the text of Rangjung Yeshe Translations and Publications, 1988. Rinpoche often encourages us to discuss the Dharma together, to support one another in refining our understanding and actualizing it in our life. We are holding space for this at the end of each session for anyone who wishes to join.

The Ritual of summoning good fortune is extracted from the larger cycle of the Orgyen Khandro Norlha terma of Rigzin Chögyal Dorje, a great Nyingma and Kagyu Lama. This was introduced to the Gargon lineage by Drikung Terton Lho Tenzin Orgyen Nunden Dorje. This is a practice of the combined mandala of Padmasambhava, Yeshe Tsogyal, Amitays, the five buddha families, and the four dakinis or activity. The essence of which is to establish one's mind in primordial purity, the greatest abundance of all.
