The Williams, Oregon sangha is pleased to host the fourth annual Drub Chhen this year at Rigdzin Gatsal. The Drub Chhen, which means great accomplishment, is an extensive accumulation of merit and wisdom. All substances are gathered, continuous practice is done in eight shifts per day,and lama dancing takes place daily as retreatants participate through prayer and mantra recitation to liberate obstacles to enlightenment.
The practice is a treasure from His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche entitled Essence of Siddhi. Through the immeasurable kindness of His Holiness Khyentse Rinpoche and that of Chagdud Rinpoche, participants from many parts of the country will gather as one mandala in practice that unifies the Three Roots. Under Rinpoche's guidance, the well-motivated practitioner, experienced or not, is certain to receive the blessings of the great Guru Padmasambhava and of the lineage lamas who are inseparable from him. Guru Rinpoche prophesied that for such a practitioner, the benefits of participation in one week of Drub Chhen are equal to those of a year of solitary practice and that the door to Copper Mountain, Guru Rinpoche's pureland, will be open to the practitioner at the time of death. This is a precious opportunity to participate in a practice of great magnitude and to directly benefit all sentient beings.
The dates are July 13 - 21. The cost is $175 for individual members of Chagdud Gonpa, $200 for associate members and $225 for non-members. Pre Registration by July 1 will be appreciated. Participants will be staying in a camp-like setting and strict retreat will be kept. Call (503)846- 6942 for details or information about Tara meditation Thursdays, 7:30 p.m.
