Series 22: Dorjé Phurba Putri Rekphung
Beginning in June, Rinpoche will give detailed teachings on the practice of Vajrakilaya, specifically from the new treasures of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoché's Dorjé Phurba Putri Rekphung. This is a root yidam practice for our sangha and one we do regularly at Pema Ösel Ling. Lama Tharchin Rinpoche said: "Vajrakilaya practice is extremely powerful in removing outer, inner, and secret obstacles on the Dharma path. Vajrakilaya is one of the main yidam practices in the Nyingma lineage and is the root of spiritual accomplishments (siddhis), swiftly bringing both ordinary and extraordinary accomplishments."
This series is being released to subscribers now . You can subscribe and obtain all that have been released thus far, or wait until the series completes to purchase this set of teachings.

Series 21: Riwo Sang Chod (Mountain Smoke Offering) by Lhatsun Namkha Jigme, teachings by Lama Tharchin Rinpoche.

The current video series is a detailed teaching on the Riwo Sang Chöd (Mountain Smoke Offering) that Rinpoche taught last year at Pema Ösel Ling (see Rinpoche's description below). There is a beautiful translation of the text, including a commentary on the text and the Windhorse Smoke Offering, by Heidi Nevin available through Dharma Treasures Bookstore. The series started in November and we expect there to be 6 months of teachings plus a video with Rinpoché doing the practice itself. We also will have an audio CD of the practice available separately.
"The Riwo Sang Chöd is a treasure revealed by Lhatsun Namkha Jigmé when he opened the hidden country of Sikkim. This smoke offering comes from the viewpoint of Dzogchen, the Great Perfection. It is really the best practice to remove obstacles and fulfill both temporary and long-term wishes. The smoke offering is made to all wisdom beings, to the Three Jewels, the Three Roots and Dharma Protectors, and the Three Kayas. Offering to the wisdom beings helps us to accumulate merit and wisdom. This brings short-term happiness and ultimate enlightenment. We also offer to all demonic beings who are actually manifestations of our karmic debt. These karmic debtors cause obstacles of all kinds, both temporary in this life and also long-term obstacles to enlightenment. Through this offering, karmic debtors are repaid, removing all of these obstacles. This is really the best technique. In particular, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoché did this practice all the time and recommended it to all of his students. In my life I have had such success with this practice and recommend it to all my spiritual friends and vajra brothers and sisters." - Lama Tharchin Rinpoché
