Long life Prayer for Lord of Refuge Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche (July 20 to July 27, 2012)

Thrangu Monastery Canada is pleased to invite all of Rinpoche's students, and in particular those residing in North America, to participate in long life prayers from July 20th through July 27, 2012. At the conclusion of this drupchen, offerings will be made requesting Rinpoche to guide us with his lotus feet remaining planted in this world realm.

The drubchen will use the longevity sadhana known as the "Union Of Upaya And Prajna", a 17th Century terma. This extraordinary practice for overcoming obstacles to long life is one of the three main cycles of termas and is used in both the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages.

Anyone wishing to enhance or establish a fortunate connection with Rinpoche is welcome to join in this wonderful event to engender and offer great merit, with the dedicate for the stability and longevity of Rinpoche's life.
