NOTICE: HE Ayang Rinpoche December 2022 True Nature of Mind Teachings POSTPONED
This notice comes from HE Ayang Rinpoche and from Amitabha Foundation, Inc., Ayang Rinpoche’s charitable corporation in the US.
HE Ayang Rinpoche’s True Nature of Mind teachings and associated Vajrasattva empowerment and teachings originally scheduled to be given in San Jose, CA in mid-December 2022 have been postponed. Although Rinpoche’s intent is to offer these teachings instead at an alternate time in the future, no future date has been scheduled at this time. Once a new date is scheduled the information will be posted well in advance on the Amitabha Foundation website at https://amitabhafoundation.us.
The teachings originally scheduled for December 2022 were not being organized by the Amitabha Foundation and neither HE Ayang Rinpoche nor the Amitabha Foundation has access to the list or contact information of those who may have registered with the private party organizing the event. We are posting this announcement in an effort to ensure that those who may have registered are notified of this change as soon as possible.
HE Ayang Rinpoche regrets that he is unable to offer the teachings in December 2022 as planned.
Following earlier discussion, Ayang Rinpoche notified the private event organizer on October 25th 2022 that he would not be able to offer the teachings scheduled for December in San Jose and requested that the organizer notify those who may have already registered as soon as possible. For those who may not receive notification of this postponement from the private organizer or who may receive information from the private organizer seeming to indicate that the teachings will go forward as planned, Ayang Rinpoche wishes to clearly emphasize that he will NOT be offering True Nature of Mind teachings or associated Vajrasattva empowerment and teachings in San Jose, CA in December 2022.
Vajrakilaya (Dorje Phurba) Drubchoe, October 21-25, 2022
Dedications for the Prayer List due by Noon (Pacific) Monday, October 24 (Offerings welcome anytime).
At Ayang Rinpoche’s monastery in South India they are holding their annual Vajrakilaya Drupchoe Puja, October 21-25, 2022. Vajrakilaya (Dorje Phurba) is one of the most effective yidam practices, which are the root of spiritual accomplishment. It is known in the Tibetan Buddhist world as the most powerful means of destroying the forces counteracting compassion and of purifying obscurations and negativity. The phurba, or wisdom dagger, is a symbol of our unchangeable true nature of mind. “Vajrakilaya is the best practice to clear away any kind of obstacles.”
All the monastery’s lamas, monks, nuns and associated lay people in the community will do elaborate offering prayers and chant the Vajrakilaya mantra for five full days. There will be no official count of the mantras, but everyone is encouraged to participate by chanting the mantra at home.
The total cost of the Drubchoe is approximately $22,000. People who wish to dedicate prayers for their loved ones living or dead and would like to sponsor or donate towards meals, butter lamp, Tsog, tea, altar, offerings for monks and nuns, management expenses, may send in their contributions through Amitabha Foundation in their own country or directly to the monastery’s account (see the information below). For a US-tax-deductible donation, you may also send a check in USD to Amitabha Foundation USA, P.O. Box 2572, Aptos, California 95001, or use the PayPal button below. Dedications must be received by October 24 at noon Pacific Time to be sent to the monastery in time. Offerings may be made at any time.
