Registered participants will receive the recording after the teaching the following Tuesday/Wednesday.

The ritual explanation will be in English. Simultaneous translation will be available in Spanish, Portuguese, French and Russian via Zoom!

In this weekend’s training, Tempa Lama will give explanations of how to conduct the Lu Sang The Du Tri Su cycle of teachings is part of the outer, inner, and secret practices and rituals taught by the Awakened One Tonpa Shenrab to help beings address obstacles and challenges in their lives. The Du Tri Su mantra is one of the Three Heart Mantras of Bon. It is the heart practice of Bon to clear the karmic conditioning and suffering of the lower realms and the obstacles in our present life. The Du Tri Su mantra strengthens our vital energy, enables healing of our body and our relationships, and protects us from epidemics, disease, provocation of energy, hostile forces, and disturbing spirits. It is also a powerful practice to call upon the souls of the deceased, offer them guidance, and help them find peace and wellbeing.

On Saturday, Tempa Dukte Lama will teach the practice, chant, and visualization of the Du Tri Su mantra. On Sunday he will perform the complete ritual of the Du Tri Su cycle with support from the Olmo Ling community and will give the Du Tri Su transmission and empowerment. The teaching, ritual, and transmission will be offered both via Zoom and in person.

The Du Tri Su ritual and empowerment helps us clear obstacles such as illness, disease, misfortune, sadness and emotional challenges, and natural catastrophes. Receiving the instructions beforehand helps us benefit more fully from the ritual by helping us establish our mind in the visualization of the Du Tri Su mandala during the ritual. At the center of the Du Tri Su mandala is the primordial Buddha Kuntu Zangpo. He is surrounded by the Four Transcendental Lords – the Great Mother Satrig Ersang in the east, the Buddha of Compassion Shenlha Ökar in the north, the Buddha of Wisdom Sidpa Sangpo Bumtri in the west, and the Awakened One Tonpa Shenrab in the south. Surrounding the Four Transcendental Lords are the compassionate beings known as the Thirteen Primordial Shen, the Six Subduing Shen, and the Guardians of the Four Directions.
