Olmo Ling Retreat and Teaching Schedule

The Four Verses of Bon describe the view of the ancient Tibetan Bon tradition. These four verses – also known as Four Wheels – express the heart essence of each of the three Bon Paths of Liberation: the Path of Sutra or liberation through renunciation, the Path of Tantra or liberation through transformation, and the Path of Dzogchen or attaining Buddhahood through allowing all phenomena the space to self-liberate.

His Holiness the 34th Gyalwa Menri Trizin Rinpoche, spiritual head of the Tibetan Bon tradition, will offer a special teaching and transmission on the heart essence of the Tse Drup Longevity Practice.

This in-person practical training offers the opportunity to learn more about the Jang Chok ritual for people who participated in the Jang Chok Ritual Training offered this past July and August with Tempa Dukte Lama and Geshe Rinchen Gyaltsen. In this workshop, participants will practice making the tormas and setting up the altar for the Jang Chok ritual as well as chanting and conducting the ritual. This special weekend will also include conducting the Jang Chok ritual with Tempa Lama, with the opportunity to serve as Chopon (service master) for different ritual sections.

His Holiness will bestow the Tse Drup Longevity Empowerment of the Tibetan Bon tradition. This empowerment is a precious opportunity to receive the blessings of this profound practice and the blessings of the long life deity Tsewang Rigdzin. At the same time, it is a special opportunity to deepen our connection with His Holiness, world-wide spiritual head of the Tibetan Bon tradition.
