Longevity Supplication and Offerings to the Guru by Sādhana Practice and Accumulation of Tara Mantra
Dedicated to the excellent health, longevity, and flourishing enlightened activities of our main teacher and founder, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, and to share prayers and blessings for the world and all sentient beings, this weekend program will offer participants an opportunity to immerse themselves in the meditation and mantra recitation of one of the most renowned forms of Ārya Tārā, Khadiravaṇitārā, through the Khadiravaṇitārā Sādhana authored and compiled by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche. The main content of the retreat will be practice sessions of the Khadiravaṇitārā Sādhana, with most sessions led by Mitra Tyler Dewar. The aspect of the sādhana that will be most emphasized during the retreat is the accumulation of the ten-syllable mantra of Khadiravaṇitārā, Oṃ Tāre Tuttāre Ture Svāhā. Our group mantra accumulation tallies will be contributed to a Khadiravaṇitārā mantra accumulation offering initiated by Rinpoche’s saṅgha, Nalandabodhi.
