SUMMARY:Summer Retreat 2016 Week Three: "Fire-Monkey 2016" Year of Guru Rinpoche – Celebration of His Birth\, Life and Enlightenment
DESCRIPTION:With His Eminence Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche\, Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche and Dungsey Lhuntrul Dechen Gyurmey Rinpoche\nGuru Rinpoche Empowerment and Celebration\nThe Tsog Bum is achieved by invoking the blessings of Guru Rinpoche and the assistance of his entourage of deities. It helps to transform disturbed energies into positive outcomes. This practice is specifically undertaken to heal and bring harmony\, peace\, wisdom and compassion to all beings. Engaging in the practice of Tsog offering helps to release mental projections and ignorance as well as ego clinging which often manifests as anger\, attachment\, pride and envy\, thus allowing one to fully enter into non-dual wisdom. The ultimate result is peace\, positive circumstances and bliss\, leading us further towards enlightenment\, as we dedicate the merit to all beings. \nGuru Rinpoche Day Celebration\nAugust 13th marks the 10th day of the Monkey month of the Monkey year\, an extremely auspicious occasion that only happens once every twelve years! It is believed that the blessings of Guru Rinpoche are particularly powerful and invoking him brings instant blessings to those present. The Ripa International Center will celebrate this occasion with the traditional Tibetan Cham ritual. Mask Dances and the Gesar Lingdro Dances will be performed in the exceptional presence of the three Ripa Masters. \nFire Monkey 2016\n2016 is the Year of the Fire-Monkey – Guru Rinpoche’s Year – a time in which Guru Rinpoche’s energies are particularly strong and prevalent. It is also the year of Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\, the spiritual director of the Ripa Center\, who is particularly blessed by Guru Rinpoche. Supporting him at this time is a particularly poignant and a very concrete way to help our teacher’s activity flourish. \nSchedule:\n6 August: Arrival \n7 August: Guru Rinpoche Empowerment bestowed by His Eminence Terton Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche \n8 – 12 August: Tsog Bum \n13 August: Guru Rinpoche Day celebration \nFurther details to come… \n  \nPlease note that the teachings will be given in English. \nProgram details can be found on the link below. \nhttp://ripa-international.com/program/2016-year-of-the-fire-monkey-guru-rinpoches-year-celebration-of-padmasambhavas-birth-life-and-enlightenment/

SUMMARY:Gesar Wang 1 Magnetizing Aspect of Gesar with HE Namkha Drimed Rinpoche
DESCRIPTION:This Event\, the Gesar Wang – Magnitizing Aspect of Gesar\, is Part 1 of the Gesar Teachings by His Eminence Namkha Drimed Rinpoche. Part 2 takes place on Saturday\, August 20th (please click to see details) and will be a Gesar Empowerment and Teaching. We encourage you to attend the teachings on both days as they will compliment each other (not mandatory). \nGesar Wang – The Magnetizing Aspect of Gesar: \nWe are happy to announce that His Eminence Terton Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche\, Lineage holder of the Ripa Lineage\, has graciously agreed to grant the teachings of Gesar Wang – The Magnetizing Aspect of Gesar. This is a unique opportunity to receive these mind treasure (Terma) teachings directly from the treasure revealer himself.  It is said that Gesar was a being that came to earth to pacify demonic forces and spread dharma teachings in this world. Many of the scriptures describe Gesar as the embodiment of Guru Rinpoche’s enlightened activities and the emanation of Avalokitesvara\, Manjushri and Vajrapani. His Eminence\, who was himself King Gesar’s brother in a previous life\, rediscovered and revealed his teachings\, particularly the Four Aspects of Gesar – the four enlightened activities. The magnetizing activities allow us to gain control over the world so that we can fulfill our worldly aims for the benefit of all beings. We are very fortunate to receive these teachings and practices directly from the treasure revealer himself.

SUMMARY:Gesar Wang Part 2 – Empowerment and Teaching with HE Namkha Drimed Rinpoche
DESCRIPTION:This Event\, the Gesar Wang Empowerment and Teaching\, is Part 2 of the Gesar Teachings by His Eminence Namkha Drimed Rinpoche. Part 1 takes place on Friday\, August 19th (please click to see details) and will cover the Magnetizing Aspects of Gesar. We encourage you to attend the teachings on both days as they will compliment each other (not mandatory). \nGesar Wang Empowerment and Teaching \nEmpowerment or “granting an empowerment” refers to the Vajrayana ritual which awakens the special capacity for primordial wisdom to arise in the mind of the student. It is called “empowerment” because when we receive it\, we are empowered to follow a particular spiritual practice or path to complete enlightenment; therefore\, mastering its realization. \nEmpowerment means to ripen or mature our Buddha nature. Even though all beings possess the Buddha nature\, without receiving an empowerment it is not possible to receive blessings through a particular practice.
