Nalandabodhi International joyfully announces the fourth annual Tara Drupchen to be held in Seattle, Washington on September 20-22, 2019.<\/p>

In all wisdom traditions, including Buddhism, it is said that the antidote to fear is loving-kindness. In Vajrayana Buddhism, the figure of Tara symbolizes loving-kindness and compassion \u2014 and a strong resolve to dispel the fears of all beings.<\/p>

The Nalandabodhi sangha, founded and guided by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche<\/a>, will be engaged in a practice intensive focused on awakening the fearless and compassionate energy that is our mind\u2019s true nature, as symbolized by Tara. This practice intensive will be led by our senior Nalandabodhi acharyas and lamas, and will be joined by participants from around the world.<\/p>

What is a \u201cdrupchen\u201d?<\/h2>

Drupchen (Tibetan: \u0f66\u0f92\u0fb2\u0f74\u0f56\u0f0b\u0f46\u0f7a\u0f53\u0f0b ; literally, \u201cgreat practice [gathering]\u201d or \u201cgreat accomplishment [gathering]\u201d) is a traditional format for a practice-intensive retreat in the Vajrayana tradition. The practice of Drupchen is said to bring great benefit to its participants and the communities around them. In this way it is a strong generator of merit, purification, and blessings. It is a powerful method for dispelling obstacles and hindrances for ourselves and our sangha\u2019s dharma activities.<\/p>

See our\u00a0BLOG<\/a>\u00a0about 2018 Tara Drupchen<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

How can I make prayer requests and offerings?<\/h2>

You can make an offering in honor of those who are ill, recently passed away, or for any challenge you or others face, or aspiration you have for the world. These prayer requests and aspirations will be shared with our Nalandabodhi teachers and sangha participating in the Drupchen, as well as those participating in related Tara Practice at our centers and study groups around the world. As an act of generosity and auspicious connection, it is a time-honored practice to make a monetary offering to accompany a prayer request. A suggested minimum donation is $10.<\/p>

Making offerings to sponsor a Drupchen creates a connection to the practice that enables us to accumulate merit and dispel obstacles, even if we are not able to personally attend. Your donation will provide the offerings of candles, flowers, and food; make the necessary preparations for the ritual ceremonies; provide offerings to our teachers in gratitude for sharing this practice with all of us; and support the ongoing dharma activities of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche and our Nalandabodhi sangha.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
