Prayer Requests for Drupcho (Fall and Winter)

During the Rigdzin Dupa and Dechen Gyalmo drupchos (week-long intensive sadhana retreats) held each winter and fall, respectively, at Phuntsok Choling in Colorado, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and MSB students accumulate feast-offering prayers in order to dispel obstacles on the spiritual path and increase harmony in the world. We invite you to share in the merit of this practice by submitting prayers on your own behalf or for those in need. Prayers are read aloud each day, and during the practice, Rinpoche and his students keep those prayers in mind.

The monetary offering that traditionally accompanies a prayer request is used to purchase feast offerings for the practice.

How to Write a Prayer Request

Rinpoche has requested that prayer requests are kept succinct and to the point. It is best to simply write the person’s name, (e.g., please pray for John Smith) or if there is a specific malady, include it in a brief manner, such as, Please pray for John Smith who has… or who is suffering from… Thank you for your understanding.
