Great Offerings for Compassion and Happiness

The Tara Great Stupa for Peace and Harmony Project, Thousand Stars Foundation is pleased to invite interested persons to join our annual Stupa day

Great Offerings for Compassion and Happiness
Presided by Latri Khenpo Geshe Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche
25-26 September 2010
Khadiravana Center (Kundrol Ling)
Nongplub District, Hua-Hin

All is welcome to participate in ancient Tibetan ceremonies by making “Namnga Tongchod” 5000 great offerings to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, attending long-life empowerment and receiving blessings for good luck and happiness in life. There will also be teachings and other merit making activities including the releasing of 100,000 fishes conducted by Latri Khenpo Geshe Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche, world-leading spiritual teacher and Bonpo Dzogchen master.

“Namnga Tongchod” or 5000 offerings consist of lamp, incense, water, fruit and flower, 1000 each. The offerings represent pure faith in the Triple Gems. Each has a separate benefit: Lamp gives light to remove ignorance. Incense destroys impurities. Water quenches thirst and represents a pure offering to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Fruit removes hunger and brings auspiciousness to earth. Flower symbolizes beautiful and pleasant offerings.

There are no registration fees. Donations are greatly appreciated. Food and simple accommodation will be provided. Those who need transportation can travel in a van arranged by the Foundation, with the cost of 600 baht per round trip: Bangkok-Khadiravana Center-Kaeng Krajan Dam-Bangkok.

I just returned from Khadiravana. As soon as I opened my mailbox, I received a message from one of our great masters Lhatri Khenpo Geshe Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche. It’s such a joy to welcome Rinpoche back to Thailand again. He came here the first time in December 2006 as a speaker in the international conference on Body and Mind. At that time Rinpoche also gave a talk on Bon and Dzogchen. It was one of the best talks I have ever heard.

The talk was translated into Thai and published in a series of Pandara Stream of Dharma. The booklet with Thai and English texts was distributed as a dharma gift at our love & compassion conference and phapa event. A PDF version of this talk will be available for download soon.

Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche is a Dzogchen master from the Yungdrung Bon tradition and is Lhatri lineage holder. He was educated at Menri Monastery. His biography is available at www.thousand-stars.org (please click at “teachers”) as well as at the Yeru Bon Center and Olmo Ling websites.

Over the past ten years Rinpoche has traveled extensively in the west. He set up many spiritual centers to promote Bon Buddhist teaching and to help relieve suffering of sentient beings. Among the topics he has taught include: healing with meditation, living well in difficult times, changing the energies, and Dzogchen.

It’s a great joy to hear that Rinpoche would be coming with another geshe and will stay many days after the stupa event. Apart from blessing the stupa construction and perform a “bumpa” offering for land and water abundance, Rinpoche will lead us on meditation, conduct activities on love and mindfulness and give teaching on karma and healing.

We are planning his program and hope to arrange many more teaching sessions for him.
