Rigdzin Dupa Drupcho

In the Rigdzin Dupa drupcho, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and MSB lineage students practice the guru sadhana from the Longchen Nyingtik tradition. The focus of this practice intensive is the accumulation of 100,000 tsok offering prayers. 

The merit, or positive intention and action, of the drupcho is dedicated to world peace, the longevity of masters who are teaching in the world, greater compassion towards all beings, genuine spiritual progress on the path, and harmony both within the sangha and the larger community of Buddhist practitioners, as well as throughout the world. Rinpoche has spoken of drupcho practice as a “wish-fulfilling jewel” for bringing about accomplishments on the path and a true labor of love.

Even in the virtual environment, the sadhana practice of a drupcho is a precious opportunity to practice alongside the teacher’s bodhicitta. To make prayers and aspirations alongside the teacher in the spirit of compassion and wisdom that the teacher embodies, is a profound and often life-changing experience.

This retreat is in-person and online and open to everyone who has gone through the MSB Lineage Ceremony. If you have questions about attendance, please write to the Study and Practice department. If you can’t participate in the retreat, you can still share the merit and blessings of this feast practice by making an offering or a prayer request.

If you are a formal MSB student, you will receive an email that includes a registration link.  If you are new to Tsok practice and want more instruction, the Vajrayana Primer has been created to help you. If you are a formal lineage student, please reach out to dorjelobponbob@mangalashribhuti.org, and he will give you access to the syllabus of this self-study course.
