Dodrupchen Rinpoche
This month was a busy one, and we are keeping the newsletter short. We published the second chapter of the comprehensive retreat guide for the Longchen Nyingtik by the Fourth Dodrupchen. This second part covers Palchen Düpa (Gathering of Awesome Ones) and offers advice on such topics as preparing the location, setting up a shrine, chanting the liturgy, and playing a bell and drum.
The Way of the Vidyādharas of the Past, Instructions on the Stages of the Practice of Approach and Accomplishment of the Guru, Yidam Deity and Ḍākinī of the Heart-Essence of the Vast Expanse. Chapter 2: Instructions on the Approach and Accomplishment of the Gathering of Awesome Ones (Palchen Düpa), the Heart Practice of the Yidam, from the Heart-Essence of the Vast Expanse (ཀློང་ཆེན་སྙིང་ཐིག་གི་རྩ་བ་གསུམ་གྱི་བསྙེན་སྒྲུབ་བྱ་བའི་རིམ་པ་གྲུབ་བརྙེས་རིག་འཛིན་གོང་མའི་གཤེགས་ཤུལ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་བཞུགས། །གཉིས་པ་ཀློང་སྙིང་ཐུགས་སྒྲུབ་ཡི་དམ་དཔལ་ཆེན་འདུས་པའི་བསྙེན་སྒྲུབ་བྱ་ཚུལ་ལ།), by the Fourth Dodrupchen, Tubten Trinle Pal Zangpo
