Dzogchen Ranjak Patrul Rinpoche is the incarnation of the great Dzogchen Patrul Rinpoche - a writer, wandering mendicant monk and one of the greatest spiritual masters of 19th-century Tibet. The current Patrul Rinpoche is a holder of the Longchen Nyingthik lineage. At the age of fourteen, he entered Dzogchen Monastery, where he stayed for six years. He then continued his studies at Śri Siṃha University. He graduated with excellent results, in a time that very few students manage to do. He has great knowledge of tantras and sutras, which allows him to give teachings on any subject.

“Words of My Perfect Teacher” – a book by Patrul Rinpoche, whose incarnation is the current Patrul Rinpoche, contains explanations of the preliminary practices of the Longchen Nyingthig tradition in Dzogchen. These preliminary teachings are common to all Buddhist traditions. Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche always emphasized that the commentaries in this book are essential knowledge for every practitioner. Rinpoche recommended that we translate and publish this book.

REGISTRATION FORM

Gudrun Knausenberger - in 1989 Jomo Gudrun became a student of Chime Rigdzin Rinpoche. In 1997, Rinpoche instructed her to teach and give initiations. From the beginning of the center in Darnków, Gudrun took part in the courses held here, during his last stay in Poland, Rinpoche appointed her his regent in Europe. For several years, Gudrun has been conducting practices at Dropan Ling during summer courses. This time, Gudrun will lead the Chod practice based on Gonpo Wangyal's terma.

The practice of Chod is a practice that involves abandoning attachment to one's body, developing compassion and generosity for all beings. All this is possible by cutting off ignorance, which consists in the illusory clinging to the "I" and understanding emptiness, which is both the means and the goal of the practice.

Drubchen, in Tibetan "great achievement", is an intensive group practice that draws on all the skillful methods of Vajrayana to purify our body, speech and mind. The blessing gathered as a result of drubchen is indescribably great, and it is received not only by the participants, but also by the place of practice and the whole world. It is said that the benefits and power of true drubchen, practiced with unwavering motivation and in the right conditions, are the same as from a three-year retreat.

From Gangteng Rinpoche's explanation of drubchen:

"(...) drubchen really does result in growth on many different levels: it strengthens personal strength [wang'tang], and success; literally, it strengthens the "air horse" [lung'ta], so that one has greater influence in reversing the effects of adverse circumstances. We also have the ability to increase our own vitality, to strengthen our health, material success, and fame; in short, we have the ability to strengthen anything that may degenerate or weaken. Anything that is weak or in danger of decay can be renewed by the fresh power of the blessing of drubchen. When favorable conditions come together, we are in the fortunate position of experiencing the blessing of body, speech, and mind of the yidam and his retinue. drubchen is such a precious thing that it is difficult to put into words."

REGISTRATION FORM

For 30 years, in accordance with the wish of our teacher, Chimed Rigdzin Rinpoche, for whom this practice was particularly important (it was Rinpoche's mind terma), we have been doing the Butter Lamp Offering in our center for peace, deeply believing that a common, intensive practice will contribute to stabilizing the situation in the world, which is particularly important in the current times, full of conflicts and threats.

The purpose of offering lamps is to purify the obscurations of the minds of sentient beings, calm negative emotions, accumulate merit, and purify the individual karma of those participating in the practice.

Vajrakilaya Drubchen

*Fee PLN 110/day

The text of the Vajrakilaya Drubchen is available in printed form in Polish, Czech, and English. ONLY UPON ORDER UNTIL JULY 10: SMS (+48) 601 35 77 76

Vajrakilaya (tib. Dorje Phurba), a wrathful emanation of Vajrasattva, a wrathful yidam who embodies the enlightened activity of all Buddhas, is most commonly used in the Nyingma and Kagyu traditions. Vajrakilaya practice is most effective and fastest at removing external and internal obstacles, destroys negative energy, and purifies spiritual delusions, bringing an increase in happiness, harmony, and peace. Thanks to the transformation of strong negative emotions – helping in the struggle with anger and envy – it makes the mind peaceful. Vajrakilaya practice is a complete path leading to the realization of the awakened mind. It is believed that in current times of wars, natural disasters, and more and more new diseases, the blessing of the Vajrakilaya practice is a powerful tool to prevent the further multiplication of suffering. The ultimate goal of this practice is the realization of the perfect state of Buddhahood.

Dorje Lopon Ganden Tsewang from Shimla/India

Initiation and special annual Dzambhala Puja

*Fee 150 PLN

*Pensioners and retirees for whom the pension/annuity

is the only source of income - 30% discount

REGISTRATION FORM

It is said that Dzambhala practice quickly brings material wealth and helps to find a way out of poverty, but most importantly, it also leads to spiritual wealth and the development of personal power and makes us better people. Dzambhala practice helps us get rid of stinginess, greed, jealousy, and egoism, which are the cause of external (material) and internal (emotional, spiritual) poverty. When we develop generosity, which is the true source of achieving wealth, all our material, health, and emotional problems disappear, and naturally abundance flows to us. This means that the abundance brought by the Dzambhala practice will not hinder us in our Dharma practice, nor will it distort it, because the practice helps to purify, rather than increase, our worldly desires. If we turn to Dzambhala with the right motivation, he will help us release the powerful energy of wealth on many levels – material, emotional, and spiritual.
