Initiations Guhyagarbha Poland conferred by HE Tulku Rinpoche Gangteng, from 4 to 7 December in Warsaw Poland.

Gangteng Rinpoche

Guhyagar­bha tan­tra (Tan­tra of Secret Essence) is con­nec­ted with Nyingma tradition and is con­sidered to be the most impor­tant Mahayoga tan­tra. Eigh­teen great Mahayoga tan­tras and the prac­tice ful­filling Eight Herukas are inc­luded in it. It is also the source of Vaj­rasat­tva sadhanas and Shitro teachings.

The initial source of Mahayoga tan­tras is Bud­dha Saman­tabhadra who gave trans­mis­sion of these teachings to unseparable from him Bud­dhas of the Five Families and sam­bhogakaya bud­dhas. The teachings reached then Man­jusri, Avalokitesvara and Vaj­rapani who taught them in nagas’, yak­shas’, gods’ worlds, as well as in the world of humans, on Malaya moun­tain (Sri Lanka). After having been writ­ten down and hid­den in the space, they fell onto the roof of king Dza’s palace of Zahor in India together with big statue of Vaj­rapani. The king prac­ticed in front of this statue and after seven mon­ths he saw the face of Vaj­rasat­tva who gave him the trans­mis­sion of primor­dial wis­dom. Due to this he was able to fully assimilate in his mind the meaning of all Guhyagar­bha texts. After having gone through the lineage of many teachers, the tan­tra came to Bud­dhaguya, Vimalamitra and Pad­masam­bhava. They trans­mit­ted it to their Tibetan disciples.

Both, in India and later on in Tibet, a num­ber of com­men­taries to this tan­tra were created. Omniscient Long­chenpa wrote: "Guhyagar­bha tan­tra is the peak of all vehic­les, the source of all texts, the fastest, the greatest, the most secret way of realisation amongst the vehic­les explained by bud­dhas of three times". Accor­ding to Mipham Rinpoche’s com­men­tary, it explains eleven impor­tant topics which create the tantra’s classification:

1. the view of reality, 2. unmoved meditation absorp­tion, 3. deter­mined action, 4. man­dala, 5. initiation, 6. unbroken samaya, 7. diligent prac­tice, 8. direct offerings, 9. manifestation of the activity, 10. tying with mudra, 11. man­tra recitation.

Guhyagar­bha initiation is given rarely. It is also required for the students of 3rd year online shedra Long­chen Rabjam which is run by H. E. Gang­teng Rin­poche.

Amitayus Drubchen in a retreat center Кunsangаr in Moscow with His Eminence Gangteng Rinpoche

Amitayus Drubchen 

Buddha Amitayus

19 - 30 of November 2014 in a retreat center Кunsangаr

His Eminence Gangteng Rinpoche

  will run drubchen of Buddha Amitaus of Pema Lingpa tradition

 Drubchen is an exceptionally powerful buddhist group practice which includes all skillful methods of Dharma. It is unique and rare event. Participation in Drubchen is a big success and exceptional possibility! 

His Eminence Gangteng Rinpoche will run a Drubchen in Russia for the third time.

 The first Drubchen, devoted to practice of Guru Padmasambava – Lama Norbu Gyatso – took place in Kunphenling in 2011.

In 2012 Rinpoche conducted Vajrakilaya Drubchen together with Lama Karma Puntsok.

This time Rinpoche will run Buddha Amitaus Drubchen.

Amitayus is Buddha of long life, special form of Buddha Amitabha – Buddha of Boundless Light.  Amitayus is being prayed to for long and happy life, health and wealth, diminishing or destroying all situations that endanger life force or long life, as well as for achieving success in worldly matters.

However, the basic frame for all this practice is realisation of the state “beyond birth and death” which in Vajrayana is being called “vidhyadhara of immortal life”. 

A practice of Amitaus is particularly important and auspicious in Pema Lingpa tradition, because the great terton Pema Lingpa manifested long life siddhis by his practice.

 Together with Gangteng Tulku Rinpoche are coming above 10 attendants: musicians, dancers, umze (leading practices), chopon (ritual man). They are all outstanding and masters in Rinpoche's monasteries; many of them accomplished 3 – year – long retreat and they have gone through long buddhist education and training. We are also expecting arrival of Khenpo Karma Wangyal.

 During Drubchen a special pills of long life will be prepared.

 Participation in Drubchen is for everybody, regardless knowledge and Dharma experience.

The place of the event and for the accommodation

  The Drubchen will be run in Kunsangar retreat center (former Kunphenling) near Moscow.

  About drubchen

 Тibetan word "drub" is translated as "siddhi", "achievement", "fulfilment", whereas "chen" means "big" or "vast". Thus, drubchen should be understood as a praktcise in which great achievements are realised.

Drubchen is a unique and rare event. Participation in drubchen is a big success and exceptional possibility!

 This exceptionally powerful buddhist group practise includes all skilful methods of Dharma.

 During this practise its participants make offerings to all sublime beings, make visualisation, mudras, sing Dharma songs and dance. Within ten or seven days mantras are being recited 24 hours a day. The ritual goes on unbroken. It helps in overcoming obstacles and obscurations and developing pure vision.

About blessings of the practise

 Participation in drubchen fruits with great accumulation of merit and purifying all obscurations, sicknesses and obstacles.

 It is believed in Tibet that few days of drubchen practise equals few years of silitary retreat.

 Great blessing goes to all participants, all people connected with the event and to the country where the event takes place. Drubchen establishes peace, serves up in picking up the fruition, wealth and all good qualities. Bad conditions pacify, good conditions accumulate and multiply. Drubxchen's participants purify obscurations and gather accumulations: it brings them closer to the achieving of buddha's state.

Even people not connecxted directly, like sponsors and helpers, those who are not participating actively – all of them gather as many blessings as those who take active part from the beginning till the end.

 We are in the period of Kaliyuga now. This time appears to be the very dark period for humanity. Things typical for such an epoque are ecological lack of balance, wars, degradation of beings on many levels. To overcome dark period and influences of Kaliyuga and to practise Dharma we need skillful means. For this very reason on our Earth methods of Vajrayana widespread. It appears to be swift path, full of rich and various methods. Drubchen is one of these methods.

1200 years ago Padmasambhava said that drubchen would be the best protection at the time of wars, hunger, volcanos erruption, earthquakes and such.
