Retreat with ZaChoeje Rinpoche June 4, 6, 7

ZaChoeje Rinpoche has graciously accepted our request to guide us in a virtual weekend retreat. Rinpoche will bestow on us the empowerment of Goddess Parnashvari, also known as LoGyonma. 

The Parnashvari or LoGyonMa practice helps magnify the abilities of our outer and inner immune systems. It gives protection to our planet, ourselves, and others.  This traditional Buddhist practice is a powerful vehicle helping us transform disaster states into wonderful blessing states.  The LoGyonMa practice can also help stop the physical, mental, spiritual, and karmic obstacles with the current Covid-19 that has been burdening and impacting the well-being of many beings on this earth.

This practice is a rare and precious opportunity to develop our spirituality. 

After the empowerment, Rinpoche will explain in detail the practice of the LoGyonMa to help us to enter into this practice confidently, benefiting ourselves and others. 

Rinpoche will be giving the empowerment and teachings virtually from India where he is healthy and abiding by India’s stay-at-home policy.  

This will be our first virtual empowerment and retreat. To host the retreat we will be using the Zoom webinar platform, which you will notice is slightly different from Zoom’s popular meeting platform.  This is new for us and we ask you to please have patience as we learn the mechanics of virtual space. The retreat schedule is posted below.
