Rigdzin Chödrak, the first incarnation of His Holiness Chungtsang Rinpoche and a reincarnation of the great Mahasiddha Saraha, composed “Thirty-five Pieces of Heartfelt Advice” for both beginners and more advanced students. The text covers a wide variety of topics from the standard “outer preliminaries” to technical advice on meditative practice. This teaching will be divided into three sections, and Khenpo Choepel Rinpoche will cover the first sections of this text, and will return to complete the text at a later date.
Khenpo Choepel Rinpoche has recently arrived from Nepal and Tibet where he was a well respected scholar and practitioner. Rinpoche holds both the title of Khenpo, equivalent to a doctor of divinity, and Umzey, chant master at Drikung Thil Monastery, the traditional seat of the Drikung Kagyu lineage. Khenpo currently resides at the Tibetan Meditation Center in Fredrick, MD.
These teachings are offered freely and for the sake of all beings; however the ordained and the dharma are supported by generosity alone. If one is able to give $50 a day, that is excellent, if not, the most important thing to do is to attend.

Teaching in April
Vajrayogini Empowerment
Drupon Thinley Ningpo Rinpoche
Ligmincha Institute (Downtown)
313 2nd St. SE, Charlottesville
April 5th and 6th
9AM-12PM & 2PM-5PM
Vajrayogini is a tantric deity associated with abandonment and triumph over ignorance. Vajrayogini contains all the excellent qualities of all the Buddhas, and her sadanha is a means to accomplishing the perfect realization of wisdom and compassion.
Drupon Thinley Ningpo has studied Buddhist philosophy for many years, and was well-respected as the monastery disciplinarian for several years at Jangchub Ling, the main Drikung Kagyu monastery in exile in India. After this, he accomplished the traditional three-year retreat at Almora, India, during which he studied and practiced the Five-fold Path of Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa. He was awarded the title "Drupon," or retreat master based on these accomplishments. Drupon is the Retreat Master for Phuntsok Dargye Ling, the retreat center for the Tibetan Meditation Center in Fredrick, Maryland.
This sadhana is a highest yoga tantra and serious commitment is required; therefore only one who has formally taken refuge with a lama, has a understanding of Buddhist and some tantric philosophy, and who is dedicated to the entire stay of the retreat is eligible to attend.
Suggested Donation: $100 (really, only a suggestion)
