Saturday, June 12: Nyung Nay is the purification and compassion
practice of the Nobel Eleven-Faced Chenrezig, bodhisattva of
compassion. The practice involves extensive recitation and chanting
of mantra and the taking of certain vows, such as keeping silent
and fasting (only one vegetarian meal is served, at noon). Bhakha
Rinpoche says: "All suffering and misfortune comes from negative
powers. By increasing positive powers, Nyung Nay practice brings
happiness and harmony. Doing this practice brings great benefit to
the practitioner and to the place where he or she practices. It is
one of the most effective ways to purify the environment and create
peace."
Sunday, June 13: The Heart Essence of the Lake Born is the
secret sadhana of the great master Padmasambhava in his
semiwrathful form. By visualizing oneself as Pema Thotreng
Tsal, the immortal Lake Born Vajra, and chanting his mantra, we
purify all attachment to ordinary appearances, to reveal the
display of supreme wisdom.
Khandro Norla is also known as "The Fertile Shower Fulfilling
All Wishes." It is a ritual for capturing the essential wealth of
mundane possibilities (samsara) and peace (nirvana).
Bhakha Rinpoche
is the tenth tulku in a lineage of reincarnated lamas who have
taken birth again and again with the inestimable desire to
benefit all beings. The Bhakha Tulkus have been incarnations of the
great tertön of the East, Dorje Lingpa, who was an emanation of one
of Tibet's preeminent
translators and Dzogchen masters, Vairotsana; the great tertön of
the West, Pema Lingpa; as well as the great tertön of the
indeterminate direction, Shikpo Lingpa. Rinpoche’s monastery, the
Bhakha Monastery, is in Powo, located in Guru Rinpoche's
"hidden land" of
Pemaköd, the sacred heartland of Vajra
Dakini, just north of the Indian border, in Tibet.
