Tashi Delek, Friends and Supporters,

Please join us this Guru Rinpoche Day, Saturday, August 22nd, at 9:30 AM (Mountain Time), if you are able, as our resident teacher, Lhoppön Rechungpa Rinpoche, leads us in performing the profound Bardo puja, Dukngal Rangdrol. (The Shower of Blessings puja will not take place as previously scheduled.)

We will dedicate this Dukngal Rangdrol puja to Tibetan activist Lobga Rangzen, who self-immolated in front of the United Nations on July 2 in an appeal for freedom and justice for Tibet. We offer our prayers for him and honor his deep commitment to Tibet, its people, culture, and freedom.

You can read more about Lobga Rangzen, his lifelong commitment to Tibet, and the circumstances surrounding his final action here:

We will also dedicate the merit of this puja to all our dear deceased loved ones and pets, to all those who have recently passed away, and to all sentient beings who have departed from this life.

Following the puja, we will perform a smoke offering, and the program will conclude at approximately 12:30 PM.

You are warmly welcome to attend the puja in person at the temple. In-person attendees are invited to bring flowers for the shrine—potted plants and flowers that can later be replanted are especially appreciated—or food to offer for the tsok feast. Please arrive a few minutes early to allow time to arrange your offerings on the shrine before the puja begins.

Distance students and others who are unable to attend in person are warmly welcome to join us online via Zoom. Please email [email protected] to request the Zoom link.

May the merit of this practice benefit Lobga Rangzen, all those who have passed from this life, and all sentient beings.

Many Blessings,
Mipham Shedra

Tashi Delek Friends, Supporters, and Sangha
Our beloved teacher, Lhoppön Rechungpa Rinpoche, resident teacher of the Mipham Shedra Buddhist Meditation Center, has generously decided to offer a Mindfulness Meditation Open House to help us deepen and clarify our meditation practice. He is encouraging existing members to invite friends, family, or colleagues who might enjoy meeting Rinpoche in person and benefit from an introduction to Mindfulness Meditation.

𝙊𝙣 𝘼𝙪𝙜𝙪𝙨𝙩 9𝙩𝙝, 𝙍𝙞𝙣𝙥𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙡𝙮 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧 𝙖 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙡𝙮 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 9:30 𝙖𝙢 𝙩𝙤 4 𝙥𝙢 𝙈𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨.

Rinpoche has been teaching meditation for many years, including regular Sunday classes. At Mipham Shedra, we also offer a curriculum with specific meditation requirements. Until now, instruction has primarily been for those who have taken the Refuge and Bodhichitta vows, focusing on Buddhist tradition meditation.
Rinpoche will introduce a basic meditation practice to our community. It will be an all-day workshop open to anyone interested. Rinpoche will guide us through specific practices, answer questions, and lead 45-minute practice sessions. This workshop will allow all of us, from beginners to advanced practitioners, to benefit from meditation practice and support practitioners in learning and practicing mindfulness to improve their mental, emotional, and physical health.

For more information about our Resident Teacher – Rechungpa Rinpoche, please visit our page here https://miphamshedra.org/teacher/

Rinpoche urges everyone to attend in person or on Zoom, as this is a rare opportunity to receive detailed instruction and support for your meditation practice, as well as have lingering questions answered by our beloved teacher.

If you plan to attend part or all of the all-day Meditation Open House on August 9th, please do not enroll in the usual 1-day Pass for Sunday Teachings, as it will not apply to this event. Instead, please enroll in the Mindfulness Meditation Open House.

You are welcome to attend just the morning session (9:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Mountain Time) or stay and join us for the afternoon session as well (1:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. MT).

Many Blessings,
Mipham Shedra
