During his week-long visit to Seattle, Jigme Tromge Rinpoche will preside over a weekend practice of Chenrezig, and bestow a unique collection of precious terma empowerments that lie at the heart of Chagdud Rinpoche's legacy. The collection includes terma from His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, His Holiness Khyentse Rinpoche, H.E. Chagdud Rinpoche, Jigme Lingpa and Tromge Khakyod Wangpo. Receiving these blessings will both establish an authentic basis for Vajrayana practice, as well as create conditions for your spiritual path to flourish.
Registration is closed. All events are full.
Great Empowerment of Chenrezig.
Thursday April 15, 7pm and Friday April 16, 2pm
This is the Tromge terma cycle that we have been practicing at Amrita, but is the most elaborate form of the '1000-Armed' empowerment. There are two parts to it. The first part will be Thursday night with the main part to follow Friday afternoon. To receive the empowerment, plan to attend both Thursday and Friday sessions.
Saturday and Sunday we will all gather together to practice the Kusum Gongdu Avalokiteshvara (Tibetan, Chenrezig).
Words of My Perfect Teacher.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings, April 19-21, 10am-12pm
Rinpoche will give the transmission of 'Words of My Perfect Teacher', and this will take three mornings to complete.
Weekday Empowerments.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, April 19-21, 7pm
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening, Rinpoche will bestow several empowerments as described below.
These practices lie at the heart of Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche's legacy.
During the time of Guru Rinpoche, one of his 25 disciples was named Gyalwa Chokyang, a great siddha. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche was the incarnation of this great master. During Rinpoche's lifetime he revealed a number of hidden dharma treasures, Termas, of Guru Rinpoche. The transmissions of these practices were bestowed by Chagdud Rinpoche on Jigme Rinpoche to uphold and, when the conditions were right, to bestow on others. Through the ripening of our collective dharma-virtue, he will now do that here at Amrita. These Termas of Chagdud Rinpoche are: Green Tara, Seven-Eyed Red Tara, Wrathful Guru, and Kurukulle (Padma Dakini).
We will also be receiving the blessings of the Dudjom Lineage Medicine Buddha and Lion-Faced Dakini, and the Rigdzin Dupa of the Longchen Nyingtig Cycle of Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa. As well, we will receive the root empowerment for Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's own Terma Cycle, Padma Rangjung Nyingtig, the Essence of Siddhi, and Chagdud Rinpoche's own practice of Hayagriva from the same cycle as our Chenrezig practice revealed by the great terton, Tromge Khachod Wangpo.

There likely will arise the need to engage one or more of these practices as you move through your spiritual development. However, it may be that by simply receiving these empowerments and the blessings of the lineages through which they have come, many obstacles to your practice will be removed that would have otherwise arisen without these blessings. If you follow the instructions during the empowerment and meditate with faith and devotion, you will be filled with the inspiration of the lineage. This one of the ways that Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche worked with his students.
