Mahayoga Sangdrup 2023
To participate in the Mahayoga Sangdrup from home, follow these 3 steps:
1 ) Register above with your email address -There is no fee to register for the program but we are encouraged to make offerings.
2 ) Make offerings for the tsok, click here -An important part of these practices is the feast offerings we make every day. This practice of "great giving without holding back" reverses our habitual self-centered psychology and can thus enable practitioners to overcome even our most tenacious obstacles. To cover the costs of hosting the practice from Pema Osel and for the tsok offerings we suggest a $30 /day contribution. You can also make a prayer request here.
3 ) Get the Liturgies - If you are participating in the whole program, you will need the Chime Pakme Nyingtik (CPN), Rangjung Peme Nyingtik (RPN), and Riwo Sangchö texts, along with all inserts. These are all available as hard copies. Please read the following carefully, so you can make the best decision on what liturgies you might need and how to purchase them:
Note: You must be logged in as a Member on the MSB website to make any of the purchases outlined below.
Digital Pechas: The digital pechas for this program can be purchased and downloaded online here.
CPN:
For CPN, there is a white travel pecha that contains CPN and the Riwo Sangcho liturgy. (This travel pecha also includes other liturgies we do not do during this program.) You can order the white travel pecha here. Please order this by August 14, 2023 to receive it before the program begins.
Note: If you took part in the Mahayoga Sadhana Retreat in 2019 through 2021, you should buy the new white travel pecha containing the Chimé Pakmé Nyingtik and all the inserts that go with that practice. Rinpoche would like everyone to have the white travel pecha and no longer use the temporary ones we made for the last few years of this program.
RPN:
For RPN, we are still using the purple book from Celebrating the Return! (Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche's visit in 2010). You can order this book here. The RPN practice will include certain sections of the CPN that are in the white travel pecha, so be sure to have a copy of that as well. Please order this by August 14, 2023 to receive it before the program begins.
Also, you will need this supplementary insert document, which you can download here.
Riwo Sangcho:
On the RPN practice days, we do the Riwo Sangcho practice; the short liturgy is included in the white travel pecha.
