"There is no more effective way to purify your disturbing emotions than to devote yourself to the practice of Guru Yoga."
- HH Penor Rinpoche
The practice of Guru Yoga is the surest and fastest way to reach the goal of enlightenment. Khenchen Rinpoche will teach on the practice of Guru Yoga based on the seven line prayer to Guru Rinpoche.
The empowerment of Guru Rinpoche as revealed by Terton Migyur Dorje will also be conferred along with the long life empowerment of Guru Rinpoche.
We are delighted to welcome back to the Bay Area Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche, one of the distinguished professors of the Ngagyur Nyingma Institute of Namdroling Monastery in Bylakuppe, India.
Khenchen Rinpoche has received all of the major lineage empowerments and transmissions of the Nyingma School and has accomplished extensive Dzogchen practice under the guidance of Drubwang Pema Norbu Rinpoche and other eminent masters. In addition to his profound knowledge and realization of the Buddhist teachings, Rinpoche is known for his compassion and humor as well as his ability to convey the heart essence of the Vajrayana teachings.
