Wednesday 22nd April at 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm. By donation (Suggested donation: £5). Online via Zoom. Live from the Marpa House shrine room.
We continue to focus on prayers and meditation following Rinpoche’s Parinirvana. We are very pleased to inform you that Khenpo Tseten Dorje of Shechen Monastery will be returning to Marpa House to lead some prayers and practices for us.
He’ll be leading the Narak Kong Shak practice with us. This is said to be particularly effective in repairing samaya and broken vows, and is often done to support the sangha following a great teacher’s passing. He will also lead us in the Khenpo Gangshar Guru Yoga practice, which was very close to Rinpoche’s heart.
This session is offered on a donation basis. Donations are to help cover the costs of preparing the texts, facilitating the sessions and hosting Khenpo Tseten’s visit. Book your place here.
