The Winter Teachings 2006 Rime Shedrub Ling and Younge Khachab Rinpoche Welcome you to a weekend of Buddhist Dharma December 8-10th Rinpoche has offered to introduce these two most important and precious transmissions to his students. They are the essence of what Rime Shedrub Ling is about and it is his wish that we practice these with diligence and pure motivation to benefit all sentient beings. Dorje Yudronma; Lady of the Vajra Turquoise Lamp Our wish-fulfilling jewel and protector of Rime Shedrub Ling, Rinpoche and the sangha. Quick and generous she has been associated with the Longchen Nyingtig, and Dzogchen lineages in general, helping yogis and yoginis through hardship. Rinpoche will bestow the outer, inner and secret practices - the medicine queen, the wish fulfilling goddess and the primordial sky-dancer as transmitted from the great Guru Padmasambhava himself through Longchen Rabjampa. Lhamo Loma-gyonma (Parnashavari) This is a female aspect of the great healing energy of the Buddha and her teachings are very powerful. Her name translates roughly as the Leaf-wearing solitary ascetic Goddess. Her mantra is known to cure the rampant diseases, personal and global, as well as environmental poisonings of the area and practitioners. This is a very rare initiation in the West. Rinpoche says "This is as or more important than Chod for my students to do" A full day will be dedicated to each of these amazing practices. It is Rinpoche's intent that we integrate these into our daily commitments to strengthen the Vajrayana and develop a true ability to heal others who suffer from physical or mental difficulties. Friday 7-9pm The Importance of Motivation and View Saturday 10-12 and 2-4pm Dorje Yudronma Sunday 10-12 and 2-4pm Lhamo Loma-gyonma Each Empowerment is followed by Tsog, or offerings of blessed food. Due to the nature of commitment and Rinpoche's desire to be personally available for his students, one must have refuge vows. There will be an opportunity to take Bodhisattva and Refuge prior to the event. Please contact if you have questions. Held at: Quarry Arts Building #150 715 Hill St. Madison, WI ( East of Whole Foods) Suggested Donation for entire weekend $125 No one turned away for inability to pay. Donations go to support Rinpoche's project of building a retreat center in the Midwest. www.rimeshedrubling.org or [EMAIL PROTECTED] 608-243-8055 Join the RSL Yahoo group for access to photos, files and information on the world-wide sanghas! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
