Rinpoche offered the transmission for this practice on Sunday, July 5. This practice group is being led by our dear sangha sister, Tara Roberts. Tara has been a student of His Eminence Chhoje Tulku Rinpoche’s since 1988 and is deeply familiar with this practice.
The Chenrezig practice we will be offering on Tuesdays will be dedicated to the deceased. If you would like to become part of this weekly practice group, please RSVP below and we will send the zoom link to you via email.
One needs to have received the transmission of these practices from a qualified teacher in order to offer this practice.
You may attend any session you like, however, attending from the beginning of the session to the end is requested.
Beginning Tuesday, July 7, the practice will run for about half an hour each week in July on Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. MDT.
The session will run for about half an hour. It will include recitation of the Chenrezig of the Six Realms. We will recite both the Tibetan and the English. To minimize the audio disruption, participants will be muted during the actual practice.
Please note: the Chenrezig practice we will be offering on Tuesdays will be dedicated to the deceased. Chhoje Rinpoche taught that you either offer this practice for those who are living or offer and dedicate this practice to the deceased – but NOT both in one practice session.
We will be using the Chenrezig of the Six Realms practice text. We will also begin with opening prayers and conclude with dedication prayers. We will distribute copies of the texts we plan to recite, including the specific translations of opening and closing prayers to those who RSVP below.

Join us for a full weekend of meditation instruction and practice with our dear friend and meditation expert Brendan Kennedy!
Brendan’s teachings are suited to those who have cultivated a daily meditation practice and are looking to deepen their experiential understanding of the practice. Through practicing together and sharing about our practice in an open forum, Brendan guides us to look at and transcend our habitual blocks to awareness and clarity and to give up preoccupation and distraction from who we truly are. This approach leads each person toward freedom from the trappings of ego.
Brendan has been practicing Tibetan Buddhism for over 30 years. His main teachers are His Holiness The Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Chatral Rinpoche, Sokste Rinpoche, and Lama Surya Das. Drawing on his deep study of Ramana Maharishi and Nisagardatta Maharaji, Brendan illuminates the complementary similarities between Dzogchen and Advaita Vedanta in his teachings. Brendan offers a few intensive retreats each year but primarily focuses on synthesizing theory and practice at his desert hermitage in California.
