Drupchos

Rigdzin Dupa Drupcho - January 22-29, 2008

Dechen Gyalmo Drupcho - October 27-November 3, 2008
Phuntsok Choling, Ward, CO

Twice a year Mangala Shri Bhuti hosts a drupcho, or group offering practice, led by Kongtrul Rinpoche. In the drupchos, we practice the guru sadhana, Rigdzin Dupa, or the dakini, Dechen Gyalmo. The focus of these practice intensives is on the tsok, or feast offering, portion of the sadhanas. The students collectively accumulate 100,000 or more recitations of an offering prayer written by Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa. The merit, or positive intention and action, of the drupcho is dedicated to the increase of peace, compassion, and spiritual practice, both within the sangha and larger community of Buddhist practitioners, as well as throughout the world.

The intimate environment of a drupcho is a precious opportunity to be in the presence of the teacher's bodhicitta. To make prayers and aspirations alongside his, in the spirit of compassion and wisdom that he embodies, is a profound and often life-changing experience. The drupchos are open to practitioners who wish to make a connection to these practices or simply to deepen their spiritual paths through offering and prayer.
