“A Nourishing Smoke Offering that benefits Bardo Beings and
Ghosts” This smoke offering ritual (Sur chöd) is a concise mind
treasure of Dudjom Lingpa drawn from the sky-like expanse of the
fundamental nature of reality (Cho Nyid Namkha Long), a treasury for
him. This simple, important practice benefits all beings, especially
those in the Bardo, and hungry ghosts (pretas). We will learn and
practice this exactly as the late master Lama Tharchin Rinpoche did,
who recommended this ritual be done for beings who have had traumatic
deaths. Workshop participants will receive the lung, teachings, and
hands-on instruction for preparing the offering, and we will conclude
with the practice. Refreshments will be provided.
Yudron Wangmo completed a formal three-year group retreat under the
direction of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, and over two additional years of
cumulative retreats supervised by Lama Pema Dorje Rinpoche, who gave
her the title Loppon and authorized her to teach. She also served and
studied with Adzom Paylo Rinpoche. Yudron is the resident teacher of
Ngakchang Gatshal in Oakland and the director of the Mayum Mountain
Foundation. She has is an author of Excavating Pema Ozer and The
Buddha of Lightning Peak, two Buddhist young adult novels. She now
offers online and other teachings at www.mayummountain.net.
