Yangphur Drubchöd & Empowerment
bestowed by Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche
November 29 - December 1, 2019
For three days Rinpoche will lead the sangha in Namchak Tsasum Lingpa's terma treasure "The Unsurpassable Union of Yangdak and Phurba" from the cycle "The Dark Red Amulet". This practice is traditionally performed during the time of Losar (Tibetan New Year) in order to avert obstacles, clear the path for auspicious new beginnings and create positive circumstances for the future. This year the drubchöd will be held November 29 - December 1, 2019. Yangphur, when performed together in a group, is particularly effective and beneficial.
Each day of the drubchöd will include the sadhana of Yangphur, a tsog (feast offering), and dokpa (averting obstacles). Rinpoche will bestow the Yangphur Empowerment at 6:30 pm on Friday, November 29th. The torma burning ritual for averting negativity will take place in the afternoon on Sunday, December 1st at Tibetan Assocation of Santa Fe followed by conclusion dedication prayers at Pema Khandro Ling.
