Programme
According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, each year on the anniversary of a great master's passing the students gather and practice together to honour and commemorate the master’s Dharma legacy.
28 August 2025 marks the sixth anniversary of the passing of Sogyal Rinpoche and to honour this occasion hundred’s of his students will gather at his seat and main retreat centre, Lerab Ling in France as well as online to practice together.
Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche will join our gathering, teach on 27th August in the afternoon, and be present for the ceremonial practices on 28th August.
This is one time in the year that we can each connect with the wider Rigpa family. The practice programme that is the heart of the retreat includes a range of practices to enable everyone to participate. It’s a retreat for everyone.
Together we will accumulate the most powerful Vajra Guru Mantra (many hundreds of thousands of times over the five days!) and practise Tendrel Nyesel daily. This mantra is one of the main practice focuses for the Rigpa sangha this year and we will dedicate our practice to world peace—something so deeply needed at this time.
Please join in and submit your accumulations here https://accumulations.rigpa.org/login
Alongside your accumulations, you can also integrate prayers for peace, stability and removal of obstacles, a timely collection can be found in the Rigpa Calendar.
