Event ID: 4175
Event type:
Brief description: This Drupchod is said to bestow great benefit and blessings that can purify many aeons of negative karma, clear away obstacles to our lives and practice, overcome illness, and endow profound confidence, wisdom, and merit. You are cordially invited to participate.
Event details: This Drupchod is a propitiation to the deity Hevajra, and is held in the ninth Tibetan Lunar month. As with many Drupchod, an elaborate sand mandala and extensive offerings are prepared by the sangha.
On November 4th, the actual parinirvana day, the monastery will also hold the ‘Sachen Guru Yoga Practice’ (Sachen La-Choe). ‘Guru Yoga Practice’ (La-Choe) is the practice of merging one’s mind with the wisdom mind of the master. The practice consists of visualizing the guru (either in his own form or in the form of a deity), requesting his blessings, receiving his blessings, and merging one's mind with the master's wisdom mind. This beautifully poetic and profound guru yoga practice is a powerful method for strengthening the guru-disciple relationship and for creating merit on this special day.
