Padmasambhava Drupchen at the
4th Annual Dzogchen Winter Retreat


About the Padmasambhava Drupchen Retreat
Drupchen is a form of Vajrayana Buddhist practice and meditational retreat. It is led by a Vajra Master and involves a large number of participants. This very powerful practice acts as an antidote to negative forces. It is known to maintain its potency when other means are becoming ineffective. This makes it an excellent remedy to all the complex problems found in today’s troubled world.

Sadhana is a Sanskrit word that is literally translated as a “means of accomplishment.” It is a word used in Tibetan Buddhism to connote Tantric liturgies (sacred writings) and their associated practices. The Rigdzin Dupa is a key sadhana within the Longchen Nyingthig tradition. It was revealed by the great treasure-revealer Jigme Lingpa (1730-1798). The Tibetan phrase Rigdzin Dupa is often translated as the “Assemblage of Vidhyadharas” or more simply as the “Gathering of Awareness-Holders”

There are three root sadhanas in the Longchen Nyingthig lineage: 1) Rigdzin Dupa (guru aspect), 2) Palchen Dupa (dewa aspect), and 3) Dechen Gyalmo or Queen of Great Bliss (dakini aspect). The Rigdzin Dupa constitutes the guru or lama aspect of the cycle, manifested as Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), the incarnation of Buddha who founded the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. These sadhanas can be practiced individually or in groups. During this retreat we will be practicing a more elaborate Drupchen form.

The retreat will include daily teachings by the Vajra Master who will also lead us in many practices including mantra recitation, reciting sacred text, visualizations, music making, light offerings, torma offerings, and food offerings. The practice requires prayers and the Drupchen mantra to be recited in by a small rotating group of retreatants for 24-hours a day around the clock.

Drupchen develops personal inner peace, peace within one’s community, and world peace. Participating in a single Drupchen is said to offer the faithful practitioner the same merit and realization benefits as practicing alone for many months or even several years.

The Great Merit of Supporting Drupchen
The Tibetan word Drupchen has been translated into English as both "great accomplishment" and "great practice." In Tibet, the holding of a Drupchen is seen as a major event. Local people pool their resources to finance this form of practice, and in doing so achieve great merit. In order to finance our Drupchen at the Dzogchen Winter Retreat, the organizers will need to raise $10,000 to purchase offerings, torma, drums, sacred clothes, and other ritual supplies. Even if you will not be able to attend this retreat, you or anyone else you know may earn tremendous merit by donating to the Drupchen Fund. If you would like to contribute to the Drupchen Fund, please contact us . Realizing the true nature of one’s mind depends on accumulating an incredible amount of merit. In practicing generosity by supporting this Drupchen, one can joyously transform one’s financial resources into merit.

How to Register Today
Sponsored and organized by Dzogchen San Diego, this will be a group residential retreat with dormitory lodging and three meals a day included in the requested fees.
