Kunsang Dechen Lingpa

 

The Drikung Dzogchen Community Vermont is happy to announce the return of

Kunsang Detchen Lingpa.

 

Kunsang Rinpoche was born is Earth Snake Year - 1928, in Southern Tibet in

Lhodrak.

 

His birth was prophesized, and he is the13th reincarnation of the Buddha

RinchenTsugTor Gyen.

>From childhood he was only interestedin spiritual things. At 16 he went into

 

full time spiritual retreat, and studiedwith Dudjom Rinpoche for 10 years. It

was

 

prophesized, and he became a terton ortreasure revealer at age 20.

 

 

Rinpoche was recognized by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche as

the Lodhak Terton, the reincarnation of Terton Longsel Nyingpo, of the Drubchen

Melong Dorje lineage. Rinpoche is renowned for his "pure vision" treasure

revelations

of Dorje Drollo, Throma Nagmo and many others he directly received from

Padmasambhava.

In these times of rampant degeneration Rinpoche's teachings illuminate and

dispel the darkness of ignorance, delusion and suffering.

 

Ven. Kunsang Dechen Lingpa personifies wisdom, compassion, spiritual power,

integrity and delight in life.

 

This is a rare opportunity to receive this direct transmission from a fully

realized master

who embodies the heart essence of Dzogchen Atiyoga.

Further Information on Healing Chod

 

TIBETAN Chod is a unique healing practice developed and nurtured in Tibet for a

millennium.

 

Chod merges the elemental powers of nature with the profound wisdom of tantric

Buddhism.

 

The result is a deep spiritual technique for healing and transformation.

 

The healing Chod cycle of Kunzang Dechen Lingpa involves four rituals, performed

sequentially.

 

Each is designed to loosen, pacify and eradicate obstacles to personal wellness.

 

These ceremonies, performed by Rinpoche and his group of nuns and lamas

 

and have uniquely haunting melodies, aided by the hand drum, bell and bone

trumpet.

 

The potential benefits of Chod include:

-Purifying the spiritual causes of physical disease.

-Clearing of psychological patterns of anger, fear & confusion.

-Clearing of obstacles to spiritual progress and development

-Clearing of disturbances to happiness, prosperity and security.

-Clearing of obstacles to healthy and more intimate relationships.

 

Each ritual is conducted with participants lying on their side.

 

No discourses to listen to, instructions to follow or techniques to learn.

 

Just bring your favorite pillow and a towel or mat and rest.

 

Healing Chod is suitable for all, young and old, and for any type or

stage of physical or psychological illness, as well as for accelerating

spiritual transformation.
