Drubchö of Troma Nagmo
The Troma Nagmo Drubcho that we are going to practice during this
retreat week was composed by His Holiness Düdjom Rinpoche and
consists in an intensive recitation of a text including numerous
specific visualisations (meditations) and their respective mantras.
The retreat’s participants (advanced or beginner practitioners)
will be guided through this complex practice by Namkha Rinpoche and
his assistant Lama Sonam Tashi
The meditation of the female deity Troma Nagmo, also known as
Tchöd, comes from a very old tradition, linked to Machik Labdrön,
one of the most realized women in Tibet history, who lived during
the 12th century. This meditation has been practiced for hundred
years in Tibet and was adapted again during the last century by His
Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche in order to better respond to our needs.
Today we have the honour to practice this precious ritual in the
presence of Namkha Rinpoche, one of the major holders of the
tradition and lineage of Dudjom Rinpoche, who received the direct
transmission of this practice by Semo Dechen Yudrön, Dudjom
Rinpoche’s own daughter.
The Troma Nagmo Drubcho teaches us to cut through our self
attachment and to its related emotions. The practioners learn to
stop being scared by their negative emotions. They begin to
recognise their emotions, they do not follow them anymore and they
are able to transform them. They gradually free their mind of all
fear and can have ultimately the opportunity to realise the real
nature of their own mind.
Teachings will be translated simultaneously in English, French and
Spanish.
Be attentive that the participation to the practice and teaching
session’s particularly during the retreat requires a good physical
and psychological health state.
