Collection of Seven Treasures Guru Yoga Daily Practice (Thug Drub Sangwa Dupa)

Lama Tharchin Rinpoche teaches on and leads the practice of the Collection of Seven Treasures Guru Yoga, the daily practice of the longer Collection of Seven Treasures sadhana by Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche, practiced at Vajrayana Foundation's annual Drupchens since 1992. Rinpoche teaches on the practice of mahayoga, with deity visualization and mantra recitation. Rinpoche explains how, by engaging in the Vajrayana practice of Mahayoga, utilizing the path of the symbolic deity in order to realize the ultimate wisdom deity of our innate unchanging true nature, we can accomplish the Guru’s wisdom mind.

The series also includes a single MP3 audio file of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche leading the sangha in the practice. Additionally, the Refuge Ceremony is included as a separate track.

Note: the teaching was co-sponsored by Lama David Liu who also interpreted into Mandarin. Unfortunately, our recordings captured very little of the translation so it was deleted from these recordings (except for the Refuge Ceremony). We hope to locate recordings that include the Mandarin translation in the future and will offer those if we do.
