The
details of the retreat will be announced soon in our Palyul website.
His
Holiness Penor Rinpoche Austin, Texas Practice Advice
His
Holiness Pema Norbu (Penor) Rinpoche was the 11th throneholder (head)
of the Palyul Lineage of the Nyingma tradition, an incarnation of Vimalamitra.
He is renowned as a master of Dzogchen practice and for the integrity
and strength with which he upholds the teachings of the Dharma.
He
retired from the post of Supreme Head of the Nyingma tradition, the
oldest of the schools of Tibetan Buddhism, after many years service;
succeeded by Mindroling Thrichen Rinpoche. Palyul centers worldwide
offer teachings in the Dharma including Meditation, Dzogchen, and more. For
further reading regarding the Palyul Lineage, please see the book:

His
Holiness' main monastery is Namdroling,
in South India, home also to the Ngagyur
Nyingma Institute,

hundreds of lamas study and graduate from a ten-year program which includes
a three-year retreat.

senior khenpos (Professors of Buddhist philosophy) - Khenchen Pema Sherab
Rinpoche,
Khenchen
Namdrol Rinpoche, and Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche - oversee the

Namdroling
Monastery Temple, South India Inauguration
of Zangdokpelri, the new temple to Guru Rinpoche at Namdroling
(Dec.
13, 2004):
His
Holiness the Dalai Lama gave the inauguration blessing of the new temple
to Guru Rinpoche, Zangdokpelri, at Namdroling. Because the new temple
has less room, the main ceremony was then moved to the Golden Temple
where over 12,000 monks gathered including those from Namdroling, the
Sera Monastery, and three major Gelugpa Monasteries, Kagyu Monastery
and others. The kitchen estimated 16,000 meals were served at lunch
including 1,000 outside visitors, 1,000 Indian guests and 2,000 local
lay Tibetans. The three-day celebrations follow each afternoon with
a Tsog Offering sponsored by the students from overseas.

Padmasambhava
Buddhism
was brought to Tibet by Padmasambhava
(Guru Rinpoche) in the 8th Century, and has flourished there ever
since, transmitted from Gurus to disciples in an unbroken lineage. The
Tibetan Buddhist practices share a distinctive motivation: they are
undertaken to end not only one's own suffering, but also the suffering
of all other beings, to each of whom we owe a karmic debt. The understanding
is that since we are all linked to one another, one person's liberation
is incomplete until all other beings have been liberated.
