Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche
Rabné (Consecration) and Teaching
Wednesday 3o October and Thursday 31 October
For Rigpa Sangha only
The completion of the temple at Dzogchen Beara is cause for our whole Sangha to celebrate. To mark this great achievement and endow the temple with the blessings of all the buddhas, Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche and his monks will lead an elaborate two-day consecration practice (Rabné).
This practice will shower blessings not only on the temple, but on all the practitioners fortunate enough to attend, removing obstacles to their path and bringing them good fortune and success. Additionally, as an auspicious tendrel on this very special occasion, Orgyen Tobgyal has kindly consented to teach.
Rinpoche has said extraordinary things about the importance of the temple for Ireland and for the world, for the protection and liberation of sentient beings, and for the future of the teachings of the Buddha. It is our shared good fortune as Rigpa students, to have this precious opportunity to be with him in October when he blesses what we have accomplished together, the completion of Sogyal Rinpoche’s last project, for the benefit of all beings.
Your Support is Greatly Appreciated
Dzogchen Beara is a not-for-profit charity. The fees are set at a minimum to cover the costs of the weekend but we have many other daily expenses to keep the centre open and to support our spiritual community. Please consider making a donation where indicated on your online booking form.
We still need a lot of financial help to complete the Temple. If you can make a donation or sponsor some aspect of the Temple’s sacred architecture and ornamentation, or would like to purchase a calligraphy especially created by great Tibetan Masters to support the Temple, please do so here.
All donors’ names are written on a scroll which will be placed inside a gilded casket and enshrined in the Temple during the inauguration ceremony which we hope will happen in 2025. You can make a gift in your name or the name of a loved one or friend, or of somebody who has passed away.
