NEWS AND EVENTS
Dear dharma friends,
I'm happy to announce that Theglo Rinpoche has kindly accepted our invitation to visit Nyingma Palyul Dharma Center (NPDC) next month. Rinpoche was invited to the U.S. by Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche in order to bestow the empowerments for the treasure cycles of Dudjom Lingpa and Kunzang Nyima. Please see the attached files for a message from Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche and Tulku Theglo's biography. I personally felt very fortunate to meet with Theglo Rinpoche when he first arrived in America last month. Rinpoche is the great-grandson of Dudjom Lingpa, the great Mahasiddha, whose stories I have heard many times from my father, who was a ngakpa following the Dudjom Tersar Lineage.
Theglo Rinpoche will be giving the empowerment for King Gesar of Ling at NPDC in New York. King Gesar is the emanation of Guru Rinpoche and in the future will be the King of Shambhala in the apocalyptic war which will bring an end to this Kaliyuga, or dark age. You can practice Gesar as a Lama, Yidam, or Protector. Among our sangha members I see an inclination to do protector practices in order to smooth our way. Perhaps Gesar is the right protector for all of us. Unlike the commitments required when receiving empowerments for other protectors, Gesar can be practiced at your convenience.
Theglo Rinpoche and Khandrola will be in New York City from May 5th-7th. He will give the King Gesar Empowerment on May 5th, at 7 p.m. at the Nyingma Palyul Dharma Center. We will offer a brief tour of New York on May 6th, and he will leave for Palri Pema Od Ling in Austin, Texas, on May 7th.
The event will be free for all, and you may make an offering to Rinpoche and Khandrola after the empowerment. You are most welcome also to make a donation to help cover the expenses of this visit, or to offer a ride during our visitors' stay in New York.
Yours in Dharma,Khenpo Tenzin Norgay
