Tempa Lama, August 24, 2018

There is some news from Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche Yangsi in his village Rö near Samagaun in the north of Mount Manaslu.
According to His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa Orgyen Thrinley Dorje's advice our Khenpo Ösung tutored Yangsi Rinpoche in his village this year, teaching him the Tibetan alphabet over the course of a few months. We are delighted since we feel Khenpo Ösung did a very good job teaching in a modern style with anecdotes and jokes.
I had a conversation with the parents over the phone recently. Yangsi Rinpoche, his brother, his sister and everyone seems to be very fine.

According to the wishes of our venerable teacher Tenga Rinpoche, Lama Ngawang Tsultrim teaches the traditional pujas (tantric ceremonies) and the associated rituals in these workshops. Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche himself was a Vajra master, which means that he was fully master of all tantric rituals and authorized to pass them on.

Just as the rituals once came from India to Tibet and were learned by the Tibetans, today it is necessary to continue the transfer of the linage to the West.

The goal is for the Western Sangha members to be able to perform the traditional pujas independently. It is planned to learn one puja completely every year. Last year the Mahakala puja and this year the Bardo puja have already been successfully mastered to the joy of our teachers.

For the upcoming year, Lama Ngawang Tsultrim has chosen the Milarepa-Tsok-Puja for us to learn.

The next exercise weekends will take place on the following dates:

01. - 02. Dezember 2018
08. - 20. Januar 2019
20. - 23. Juni 2019

Everyone is welcome to participate. No prerequisites are required. Texts and instruments are provided by the Centre. For planning purposes, please register in advance.

Please observe the general information on courses and retreats. Here you will also find an overview of all courses in Benchen Phuntsok Ling.

==> Until now 1,730,689 Dharanis were recited (September 8, 2018). Thank you and please carry on!

Dear Dharmafriends,

as you might know it was adviced by the great Nyingma master Kyabje Dodrubchen Rinpoche to accumulate recitations of the Dharani of the Essence of Dependent Arising for the activities and long life of the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa Orgyen Trinley Dorje.
Therefore His Holiness' sister, Jetsun Ngodup Palzom has invited all students, individuals, groups and centres to join in, and to accumulate recitations that will be said by them or their group over the next year (2016, the Tibetan year of the Fire Monkey) as an offering for the benefit of everyone. She is asking for a commitment from each individual or group who wishes to join in, meaning an accumulated number of recitations will be offered during the year by each individual or group.
 
The Sangha of Benchen Phuntsok Ling together with Dharmahaus Benchen Tashi Ling will accumulate 2,000,000 of the Dharanis for His Holiness activities and Long life. The accumulation will start on Losar February 8, 2016 and go on for one year.
