Drikung Kagyu (Singapore) OM Centre

Dear Dharma Friends

The Committee of Drikung Kagyu (S) Om Centre is delighted to announce that our centre’s Spiritual Director, the Most Venerable H.E. Nubpa Rinpoche will once again be here with us again in Singapore from 9 to 12 Sept 2011. Singapore will be the last stop of His Eminence’s world Dharma teaching tour before he returns to Nepal. We urge you not to miss this precious opportunity to meet His Eminence!

His Eminence Nubpa Rinpoche is one of the most highly qualified gurus of the Drikung Kagyu lineage and is the main successor of the late great His Eminence Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche.  Rinpoche is not only a great scholar of Buddhist scriptures but also an accomplished practitioner, who has completed many years of meditation retreat in Lapchi.  Being one who excels in spiritual practice and Buddhist doctrines, Rinpoche is an excellent spiritual guide who can guide disciples of all levels.

Like the late H.E. Drubwang Rinpoche,  H.E. Nubpa Rinpoche is an extraordinary Chenrezig practitioner. His Eminence with immeasurable kindness & compassion has successfully led more than 1,300 participants to complete the 100 Million Mani Recitation Retreat in Singapore 2009. 

His Eminence’s Programme Highlights:

1)      1 day Mani Recitation Retreat. His Eminence will also bestow the Thousand Arms & Eyes Chenrezig empowerment.

2)      Teaching commentary on the Supplication Prayer to His Guru – His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche, composed by H.E. Nubpa Rinpoche. Rinpoche specially composed this Supplication Prayer to His Guru during his retreat in Lapchi where he had a vision of His Holiness. 

3)      Achi Chokyi Drolma Empowerment. Achi Chokyi Drolma, an enlightened protector and wisdom dakini, had vowed to protect the Drikung Kagyu lineage, and thus is very important for any practitioners of this Lineage. 

4)      His Eminence, a great meditation master will lead & guide us in a 2 hours meditation session.

Please stay tune for more exciting updates and also register early for the upcoming activities and retreat. His Eminence’s arrival details will be announced nearer the date.
