Details about Saga Dawa events:
The upcoming Saga Dawa Event with H.E. Garchen Rinpoche, Drupon Tsering and the Garchen Institute Lamas is organized during a very auspicious time. Saga Dawa Duchen is considered one of the most holy times in Tibetan Buddhism, marking the birth, enlightenment and parinirvana (death) of the Buddha Shakyamuni. This year it begins on May 17th and ends on June 15th.
It is said that during this time period and especially on the day of Saga Dawa, the karma of all positive and negative actions is multiplied 100 million times. Thus, it is a extremely auspicious time to engage in virtuous practice and perform acts of kindness and generosity. Because of this multiplying effect, this is a golden opportunity to accomplish vast merit and virtue in a short amount of time.
The Garchen Institute will celebrate the Saga Dawa Event in person and online starting with our annual Nyung Ne retreat. We will finish the Saga Dawa event with 100 million mantra accumulation Chenrezig drupchen, practicing day and night. May 31st is the full moon day called Saga Dawa Duchen, which will be a day of fasting with no food and water.
Nyung Ne is a powerful purification practice of the thousand-armed Chenrezig. It is a retreat of body, speech, and mind, which lasts two and a half days. Nyung Ne combines a commitment to fasting, silence and prostrations (as your physical condition allows.) Doing a Nying Ne, which includes partial fasting, is also possible.
Let us all gather in person and online to generate immense love and compassion for all the realms of existence. Engage in the practice of Chenrezig – the Buddha of Compassion by taking part in this drubchen to accumulate 100 million mantras of:
OM MANI PADME HUM HRI
Participants will engage in the Royal tradition of the Mani practice in the morning (schedule with Arizina time is given below). In the afternoon and night sessions practitioners will engage in the Red Chenrezig practice that is performed annually at Gar Monastery.
Chenrezig Empowerments are required to participate in person or online and must be taken online from YouTube recordings before the start of the drupchen.
For those attending online only, if you are unable to attend the formal sessions, it is permissible and important to participate in the Mani recitation and submit your mantra accumulations on Garchen Buddhist Institute’s website.
EMPOWERMENTS can be taken from YouTube recordings:
