The fourth month of the Tibetan Buddhist calendar is called “Saka Dawa.”The full moon day (15th day) of the fourth month marks the holiest day in Tibetan Buddhism: the Buddha’s Conception, Enlightenment, and parting into Nirvana. It is auspicious to perform meritorious activities on this specific day. The merit generated from these virtuous activities increases 10 million fold. This year, that day is Monday, June 17, when for the benefit of all sentient beings and world peace, Khenpo Jampa Rinpoche will lead the retreat. The practice for this retreat is the 1,000-Armed Chenrezi.

He is considered to have 8 manifestations and some of them appear together with their consorts or alone like other Tantric Deities. In this class you will learn about the story of Guru Rinpoche and his manifestations, the teachings they gave, and how to practice in your daily life.

Date: May 25th-27th
Time: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

This is an opportunity to show devotion to our Guru by honoring the parinirvana of our esteemed teacher, the founder of Sakya Monastery. The Monastery has chosen the profound Chenrezi practice of lovingkindness to celebrate the legacy of His Holiness Jigdal Dagchen Dorje Chang and his Dharma activities, including fostering the unbroken stream of the Chenrezi practice in the West. Prayer texts will be available in Tibetan transliteration.
