Datum: 18. Juli 2026
Uhrzeit: 13:00–15:00 Uhr (CEST – Berlin, Deutschland)

Ermächtigung, Lung und Unterweisung der Dakini Senge Dongma (Siṃhamukhā)

Seine Heiligkeit Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang, der 37. Thronhalter der Drikung-Kagyü-Tradition und die siebte Reinkarnation von Chetsang Rinpoche, wird als eine Manifestation von Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara), dem Buddha des Mitgefühls, verehrt.

1946 in Lhasa geboren, widmet er sein Leben der Bewahrung und Weitergabe der Weisheit des Dharma und der Drikung-Kagyü-Tradition und gibt weltweit Belehrungen und spirituelle Orientierung.

Anlässlich seines Geburtstages werden die Ermächtigung und Unterweisung der Dakini Senge Dongma (Siṃhamukhā) sowie die mündliche Übertragung (Lung) dieser Praxis durch Drubpon Tsering Rinpoche gegeben.

Senge Dongma, die Dakini mit dem Löwengesicht, ist eine weibliche Beschützerin des Dharma. Ihre Praxis gilt als kraftvolle Methode, Hindernisse und Negativitäten zu überwinden und Gesundheit, Wohlbefinden sowie den spirituellen Fortschritt der Praktizierenden zu fördern.

In der Vajrayana-Tradition stellt die mündliche Übertragung (Lung) eine direkte Verbindung zur ununterbrochenen Linie der Meister her, die diese Belehrung über Generationen bewahrt haben. Zusammen mit der Ermächtigung ermöglicht sie den Praktizierenden, Segen, Erlaubnis und eine tiefe Verbindung mit der Praxis zu empfangen.

Commemoration of the Birthday of His Holiness Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang
Date: July 18, 2026
Schedule: 1:00–3:00 pm (CEST – Berlin, Germany)

Empowerment, Oral Transmission (Lung) and Instructions of the Lion-Faced Dakini Senge Dongma (Siṃhamukhā)

His Holiness Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang, the 37th throne holder of the Drikung Kagyu tradition and the seventh reincarnation of Chetsang Rinpoche, is recognized as a manifestation of Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara), the Buddha of Compassion.

Born in Lhasa in 1946, he has dedicated his life to preserving and transmitting the wisdom of the Dharma and the Drikung Kagyu tradition, offering teachings and spiritual guidance to practitioners throughout the world.

To commemorate his birthday, the Empowerment and Instructions of the Dakini Senge Dongma (Siṃhamukhā) will be offered, together with the Oral Transmission (Lung) of this practice by Drubpon Tsering Rinpoche.

Senge Dongma, the lion-faced dakini, is a female protector of the Dharma. Her practice is regarded as a powerful means to dispel obstacles and negativity, supporting the well-being, health and spiritual progress of practitioners.

In the Vajrayana tradition, the oral transmission (lung) establishes a direct connection with the lineage of masters who have preserved this teaching through generations. Together with the empowerment, it allows practitioners to receive the blessings, authorization and profound connection with the practice.

Details about White Tara & Jangchok:
The Arya Tara & Jangchok for the Deceased is a spiritual practice session focused on “Burning Away Afflictions” and offering prayers for the deceased. The practice of Arya Tara is significant in Tibetan Buddhism and is associated with compassionate action and protection from harm. The Jangchok ritual, which involves burning away afflictions, purifies negative karma and obstacles. These practices are an opportunity for practitioners to engage in collective prayer and spiritual purification for the benefit of themselves and others who are currently deceased.

NYUNGNE RETREAT / SAGA DAWA
Drubpon Palkyi
Sa–Mo, 30.05. – 01.06.2026
(English below)

Garchen Rinpoche lehrt, dass Nyungne eine tiefgründige Praxis von Mitgefühl, Reinigung und Bodhichitta ist, die mit dem tausendarmigen Chenrezig verbunden ist.
Über das äußere Fasten hinaus besteht der wahre Sinn der Praxis darin, eine altruistische Motivation zu entwickeln und zum Wohl aller fühlenden Wesen zu praktizieren.
Diesen Lehren zufolge kann bereits die einmalige Durchführung eines Nyungne unermessliches Verdienst erzeugen: negatives Karma reinigen, geistige Disziplin stärken und positive Ursachen für das Erwachen schaffen.
Garchen Rinpoche betont außerdem, dass selbst das Halten eines einzigen Gelübdes mit reiner Motivation in dieser Zeit degenerierter Umstände von unermesslichem Nutzen ist.

Anmeldung unter mail(at)garchen.de. Die Teilnahme ist nur mit Anmeldung und vollständig möglich.

NYUNGNE RETREAT and SAGA DAWA with Drubpon Palkyi

Saturday – Monday, May 30 – June 1, 2026

Garchen Rinpoche teaches that Nyungne is a profound practice of compassion, purification, and bodhicitta connected to Thousand-Armed Chenrezig.
Beyond the outer practice of fasting, the true purpose of Nyungne is to cultivate an altruistic motivation and practice for the benefit of all sentient beings.
According to these teachings, even practicing Nyungne just once can generate immense merit: purifying negative karma, strengthening mental discipline, and creating positive causes for awakening.
Garchen Rinpoche also emphasizes that keeping even a single vow with pure motivation during these degenerate times brings immeasurable benefit.

Registration under mail(at)garchen.de. Participation is only possible with prior registration and for the full retreat duration.

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:
