Chokhor Duchen

Chokhor Duchen is one of the four special days in the Tibetan Buddhist calendar. This year it is Saturday, July 25. This event celebrates the first turning of the Wheel of Dharma. For seven weeks after his enlightenment, the Buddha did not teach. Finally, encouraged by Indra and Brahma, he turned the Wheel of Dharma for the first time at Sarnath, teaching the Four Noble Truths. On this day positive and negative actions are multiplied 10 million times! So this is a very special day for practice.

Please join us! Khenchen Paljea Dorjee Rinpoche will be giving an Internet transmission of Longchen Rabjam’s The Treasury of the Way of Abiding, one of his seven treasuries series and one of the most valued texts in the Dzogchen tradition. This is a very special opportunity to receive this transmission.

We will follow the transmission with a simple smoke puja offering using the Riwo Sang Chod – Mountain of Burnt Offerings by HH Dudjom Rinpoche, then conclude with a Rigpa Guru Yoga meditation led by Khenpo Drimed Dawa.
