Tulku Rigdzin Pema: Teachings on Riwo Sanchö

An online and on site event organized by Rigpa.

The event will be held in Tibetan and will be translated into English.

Riwo Sangchö (Tib. རི་བོ་བསང་མཆོད་, Wyl. ri bo bsang mchod) or literally “mountain smoke offering” is a powerful practice of offering, purification, and healing. Tulku Rigdzin Pema Rinpoche will base his explanation of the Riwo Sangchö practice mainly on Gyalse Shenpen Taye's commentary entitled “The Gentle Rain of Benefit and Joy” and explain step by step how to perform the practice, including all visualizations. The Riwo Sangchö practice is a terma hidden by Guru Rinpoche and revealed in the 17th century by the great yogi and tertön Lhatsün Namkha Jikmé (1597-1653), who brought the Dharma to Sikkim. The terma is part of Rigdzin Sokdrup's profound Dharma cycle, The Perfection of the Life Force of the Vidyadharas. Of the many ways to perform this practice in detailed or condensed form, Dudjom Rinpoche compiled an abridged version for daily practice, which is practiced by the Rigpa Sangha.
