Programs Calendar

Join us each Sunday morning from 10:00 AM to 12 PM for opening siting at PMC. Come participate in self-directed meditation practice alongside other members of our community. The center is a warm, welcoming space for practitioners of all experience levels. Sit for ten minutes or two hours—the door will be open and we look forward to seeing you!

Join our Ngondro Practice group each Wednesday at 7:00 pm MST via Zoom.

PMC hosts a preliminary practices (ngondro) practice group for those who are doing (or have completed) the Dudjom Tersar ngondro practice and the requisite accumulations. The benefits of this beautiful, profound, and supportive practice are immediate and far-reaching.

Requirements:

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.

Host: Tara Roberts has been a student of His Eminence Chhoje Rinpoche’s since 1986 and is deeply familiar with this practice.

Dates and Time: Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. MT / 6:00 p.m. PT 

Practice Session Length and Description: The session will last for one hour. It will include recitation of 21 Vajrasattva mantras and 300 Vajra Guru mantras. We will recite both the Tibetan and the English. To minimize the audio disruption, participants will be muted during the actual practice.

Texts: We will be using the Yeshe Melong translation of the basic preliminary 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 above.

Reference Reading: A review of A Torch Lighting the Way to Freedom, the Complete Instructions on the Preliminary Practices by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje is recommended. His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche taught that the realization of the Great Perfection depends entirely on these preliminary practices. Detailed instructions for how to do the practice are contained in this reference book.

As many of you know, Soktse Rinpoche is now nintey-five years old and has recently suffered from some ill health. The Nechung Oracle recently predicted obstacles to “the great Vidyadhara, Soktse Rinpoche’s” life and advised that to overcome these obstacles, all of Soktse Rinpoche’s devotees as a group should offer a great tenshuk (long-life prayer), an elaborate long-life mandala offering, and a khandro sundok, a long supplication practice to the Dakinis with dance (Tib. 'cham) to earnestly pray that Soktse Rinpoche’s emanation body (Skt. nirmanakaya) remain with us. These practices will be offered intensively over a three-day period at Korseong Monastery in Darjeeling, West Bengal, India beginning in the early morning on Sunday, June 12, and culminating throughout the Great Wheel Day, June 14. Numerous Rinpoches, Khenpos, monastics, and lay devotees will gather to participate. Soktse Rinpoche’s heart son, Chhoje Rinpoche, will leave the US for India in early June to preside. The Nechung Oracle stated very clearly that in order to vanquish these obstacles, this practice must be a dedicated group effort. Thus, we are asking all who have a connection with Soktse Rinpoche--everyone who has received empowerments and teachings and who benefit from our precious Lama’s extraordinary blessings--to wholeheartedly participate in these practices. Please send as small or as large a donation as you can afford for this group offering, whether it’s one dollar or many more. What’s most important is that each and every one of us with this profound connection joins together in this powerful mandala, all wholeheartedly participating in this group prayer for our Soktse Rinpoche’s very long life and excellent health. Any donation that you send will be used to fund this long-life ceremony.​ If you donate, please mark the donation “For Soktse Rinpoche” in the comments section of the donation form on the PMC website.
