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.

Jomo Gudrun

Chod Practice

​​​

*Fee PLN 100 /day​​

*Pensioners and retirees for whom the pension/annuity is the only source of income - 30% discount

​

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.

XXIX Butter Lamp Offering Retreat

*Pensioners and retirees for whom pension/annuity is the only source of income - PLN 35/day.

*The above fee applies to people taking an active part in offering the lamps. Fee for accompanying persons - PLN 100/day.

​​​

For 28 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.

Chenrezig Drubchen

​​​​​​​

​​*Fee 95 PLN/day​​​​

*Pensioners and retirees for whom pension/annuity is the only source of income - 30% discount

​​​​​​

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."
