This year’s Drupchen not only marks a decade of gathering together in the noble practice of Tara—embodying compassion, swift activity, and the courageous heart of awakening—it is also the first time we will engage with the newly compiled and published text, “The Ritual of the Five-Deity Tara and Tara Mandala.”This anniversary is also an auspicious occasion to make an offering—dedicated to Tara’s enlightened activities, the flourishing of the Dharma, the compassionate activity of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, and the benefit of all beings, including those who might be ill, dying, or experiencing obstacles.
Sangha member Ben Mikolaj challenges us to look closely at our path: “The dharma has never been about pleasing people. It’s about waking up. And waking up can mean walking away.”
