SUMMARY:Dorje Shugden Kangso Oral Transmission (Session 1)
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday and Saturday\, 3rd and 4th November 2023 for the oral transmission of the extensive Dorje Shugden Kangso (Fulfilment Ritual) + the Setrap & Kache Marpo kangso too. \nThis oral transmission was formally requested by Tsem Ladrang (the private office of His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche) and will be given by His Eminence Kensur Rinpoche Jetsun Lobsang Phende\, the esteemed abbot emeritus of Shar Gaden Monastery. \nEvent Details\n\nSession 1 – Nov 3\, 2023 (Fri)\n\nDorje Shugden kangso oral transmission (Part 1)\n\n\nSession 2 – Nov 4\, 2023 (Sat)\n\nDorje Shugden kangso oral transmission (Part 2)\nSetrap kangso oral transmission\nKache Marpo kangso oral transmission\n\n\n10.30 am – 1.30 pm\nKechara Forest Retreat\nFree.

You must attend both sessions to receive the complete oral transmission.		 \nBenefits\nIn the Tibetan Buddhist tradition\, most serious practitioners request oral transmissions of the texts they are studying or practising. An oral transmission plants the blessings of the text being transmitted in the mindstreams of the people in attendance.

The lama himself must have received the oral transmission faultlessly from his teacher\, who received it from his teacher\, going back in an unbroken lineage to Buddha or the original source of the text. On the part of the attendees\, we must listen to the words of the transmission with full attention\, coupled with the motivation to benefit others. \nIn this manner\, we receive the blessings of the lineage without which we would not be able to reap the results of our practice to their full extent. \nHow to join\nAdmission is free and everyone is welcome. To ensure we have enough seating for all guests\, please RSVP your attendance here.  \nYou must be present for both sessions and remain in the hall throughout the entire ceremony. If you leave the hall while the oral transmission is in progress\, it means that you did not receive the transmission. \nPrerequisites and commitments\nThere are no pre-requisites to receive this oral transmission. Anyone can attend and admission is free. Kensur Rinpoche has requested attendees not to offer khatas or kuyong (monetary offering) for the transmission. \nThere are no commitments after you receive the oral transmission.

And if you are already engaging in Dorje Shugden’s practice\, we encourage you to attend the monthly Dorje Shugden Wishfulfilling Puja which is held in Kechara Forest Retreat on the first Friday of every month. \nAbout H.E. Kensur Rinpoche Lobsang Phende\n		His Eminence Kensur Rinpoche Lobsang Phende studied at the feet of some of the greatest lineage masters of our tradition — H.H. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche\, H.H. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and H.E. Kyabje Zemey Rinpoche.

SUMMARY:Lama Chopa & Kalarupa Oral Transmission
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, 5th November 2023 for the oral transmission of the Lama Chopa Guru Puja and Kalarupa Torma Offering Ritual (Drugchuma). \nThis oral transmission was formally requested by Tsem Ladrang (the private office of His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche) and will be given by His Eminence Kensur Rinpoche Jetsun Lobsang Phende\, the esteemed abbot emeritus of Shar Gaden Monastery. \nEvent Details\n\nNov 5\, 2023 (Sun)\n10.30 am – 1.30 pm\nKechara Forest Retreat\nFree. RSVP here as seating is limited.\n\nBenefits\nIn the Tibetan Buddhist tradition\, most serious practitioners request oral transmissions of the texts they are studying or practising. An oral transmission plants the blessings of the text being transmitted in the mindstreams of the people in attendance. These blessings empower our spiritual practice so that it eventually fruitions into realisations and attainments. \nDuring the transmission\, the lama recites aloud the text being transmitted. The lama himself must have received the oral transmission faultlessly from his teacher\, who received it from his teacher\, going back in an unbroken lineage to Buddha or the original source of the text. On the part of the attendees\, we must listen to the words of the transmission with full attention\, coupled with the motivation to benefit others. \nIn this manner\, we receive the blessings of the lineage without which we would not be able to reap the results of our practice to their full extent. \nHow to join\nAdmission is free and everyone is welcome. To ensure we have enough seating for all guests\, please RSVP your attendance here. \nYou must be present throughout the entire ceremony. If you leave the hall while the oral transmission is in progress\, it means that you did not receive the transmission. \nPrerequisites and commitments\nThere are no pre-requisites to receive this oral transmission. Anyone can attend and admission is free. Kensur Rinpoche has requested attendees not to offer khatas or kuyong (monetary offering) for the transmission. \nThere are no commitments after you receive the oral transmission. \nAbout H.E. Kensur Rinpoche Lobsang Phende\nHis Eminence Kensur Rinpoche Lobsang Phende studied at the feet of some of the greatest lineage masters of our tradition — H.H. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche\, H.H. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and H.E. Kyabje Zemey Rinpoche. He was the lead chanter (umze) of Gaden Shartse Monastery and later became the courageous first abbot of Shar Gaden Monastery. \nAfter retiring from this esteemed position\, Kensur Rinpoche has visited Kechara on multiple occasions\, the first being in 2017 at the request of H.E. Tsem Rinpoche.

SUMMARY:Tsongkhapa Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Light the light of wisdom with candle offerings to the Second Buddha.\nTsongkhapa Day or Ganden Ngamchoe commemorates the enlightenment and parinirvana of Lama Tsongkhapa\, the 14th-century Buddhist scholar and saint who founded the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Also known as the Butter Lamp Festival\, it falls on the 25th day of the 10th Tibetan month. \nAs merits accumulated on this auspicious day are multiplied 100\,000 times\, devotees typically make extensive offerings and engage in Guru puja practices. Furthermore\, gathering in prayer together strengthens the quality of our spiritual practice and brings us the blessings of the lineage masters to remain steadfast on the path to enlightenment. \nCelebrate Tsongkhapa Day on December 7 (Thursday) with an evening of prayer and fellowship in Kechara Forest Retreat. The highlight of the event is a traditional Lama Chopa Tsog puja complete with ritual music and sacred melodies.

Some of the most well-known include the founding of the Three Pillars of the Gelugpa tradition — Gaden\, Sera and Drepung Monasteries\, establishing the Great Prayer Festival (Monlam Chenmo) in 1409\, and composing the Lamrim Chenmo — The Great Exposition of the Stages of the Path. \nKnown as the Second Buddha of our fortunate time\, this great saint led a life of the highest ethics\, held his vows perfectly and was instrumental in the revival of Buddha’s teachings that were deteriorating during that period of time. \nAt the age of 63\, Lama Tsongkhapa entered into Samadhi meditation\, made extensive inner offerings and then stopped his breath. Many witnessed his body transform to that of a 16-year-old\, with rainbow lights emitting from it.

SUMMARY:Tsongkhapa Retreat
DESCRIPTION:3D2N mantra retreat for wisdom\, blessings & purification\nThe Tsongkhapa retreat is based on the Guru Yoga of Lama Tsongkhapa and focuses on the recitation of his sacred Migtsema mantra. It includes meditative practices to invoke Lama Tsongkhapa’s enlightened qualities to accumulate a tremendous amount of merits and purify vast amounts of negative karma. \nH.E. Tsem Rinpoche shared this advice for everyone: \n\nDo Tsongkhapa retreat at least once a year to increase your wisdom (seven types of wisdoms)\, purify your karma and all kinds of negative thoughts and obstacles. Thoughts like ‘I don’t wanna do Dharma. I can’t do Dharma work. I feel lazy. I cannot make it.’ It will all go away\nThus\, this retreat is extremely effective for anyone who wants to purify obstacles\, focus on deeper practice\, and make progress on their spiritual journey. \nTsongkhapa retreat helps us increase our wisdom so we can gain deeper insights into the Dharma we have learnt\, thereby transforming our minds. We will also lessen our anger\, depression and overcome various inner and outer obstacles that obstruct our spiritual journey and daily lives. By engaging in this retreat\, we are also fulfilling Rinpoche’s instructions\, thereby creating the causes for us to reconnect with Rinpoche’s incarnation and for the Dharma to flourish in Kechara Forest Retreat. \nLed by our experienced Buddhist pastors\, this 3D2N Tsongkhapa Retreat is suitable for all who are new to mantra retreats as well as experienced retreatants who may be too busy to prepare all the necessary offerings and materials. \n\nLama Tsongkhapa retreats every three months consistently will heal the mind of pain and emotional scars. One should engage in retreats always.– Tsem Rinpoche –\nEvent Details\n\n8 – 10 December 2023 (Fri – Sun)\nKechara Forest Retreat\, Bentong\nRegistration closes Tuesday 5 December\, 2023\n\n\nMORE INFO + BOOKING
