SUMMARY:Calling the Lama from Afar (17.4.26)
DESCRIPTION:Friday 17th April, 7:00 pm (BST). Free of charge. In person at Marpa House in the shrine room and also live-streamed via Zoom.\n\nFollowing Rinpoche’s peaceful passing into Parinirvana, you are warmly invited to join us, both via Zoom and in person, to recite Calling the Lama from Afar at Marpa House.\nCalling the Lama from Afar is a Kagyu-lineage Vajrayana prayer and meditation by Jamgon Kongtrul the Great, serving as a guru yoga so we can connect with our root teacher.\nIt is a request for blessings and guidance, expressing unwavering devotion and trust in our lama as a mirror of our own mind. The prayer acknowledges our suffering, and it relies on our pure devotion to “call” the lama.\nIt is particularly powerful when an enlightened being has passed into Parinirvana. In Tibetan Buddhism, the lama is seen as one with the Buddha, a living embodiment of awakened wisdom. Through this practice, we nurture devotion, open to blessings, and attune to our teacher’s luminous mind—an awareness that flows beyond the boundaries of physical life.\nJoin us as we reinforce our devotion and connection to Kyabje Chime Rinpoche.\nIf attending via Zoom, please email the House to request the Zoom link before 4:00 pm on the day of the session. Please note that all these special practice and prayer sessions will use the same link. Email us if you need more assistance at mail@marpahouse.org.uk ( mailto:mail@marpahouse.org.uk )\n\n\n
