The anniversary of Milarepa auspiciously coincides with Chotrul Duchen, the ‘Festival of Miracles’ which occurs on the full moon of the first Tibetan month, and commemorates the Buddha performing fifteen days of miracles in order to inspire devotion in his disciples. On Chotrul Duchen, all positive and negative actions are said to be multiplied 10 million times.
Milarepa is the most beloved yogi and poet of Tibet and one of the forefathers of the Kagyu lineage revered for his inspirational life story and profound songs of realization. The Guru Yoga of Milarepa is an essential practice of the Kagyu lineage in which the transmission of devotion becomes the basis of Mahamudra.

This is followed by the short liturgy of Shitro (Peaceful and Wrathful Deities), a profound practice from the cycle of teachings and meditations of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. We dedicate this practice to the deceased in order to purify negativities, avert obstacles in the bardo, and establish a connection with the deities that will ripen in future lives
1:30 pm | Chanting of Milarepa Practice with Feast Offering (Tsok)

Amitabha Chanting for Liberating the Deceased and Benefiting Beings (Qing Ming) - 清明節法會

清明節法會

The sangha of PTC will be making prayers and offerings for our parents, ancestors, and the deceased through a special recitation of the Amitabha sadhana with tsok offerings and aspiration prayers for the well being of ourselves and all other beings, especially those to whom we dedicate the practice by name, both living and deceased.
The practice entitled ‘Jangchok’ will be included within the chanting of the Amitabha sadhana. Jangchok is done for the benefit of the recently deceased to achieve liberation. For persons who may have passed away a long time ago the Jangchok practice will still bring great blessings to the deceased and create the causes and conditions for the liberation of the person. For the living, it is said that once their karmic debtors are liberated through this practice, the person will have less obstacles. For all beings, this practice will help to create favorable conditions and enhance their well-being.
During the chanting Lama Tsering Dakpa will bless and burn all the names of the deceased to symbolize purification of their defilements, obscurities and negative karma by the fire of wisdom, ripening their merit to be reborn in Amitabha’s pureland of Dewachen. Also included will be a dedication of merit to all sponsors and their designated names for blessing.
You may donate any amount and provide us with the names for dedication (both living and deceased). To make these dedications, download the Amitabha Sadhana Dedication Form in Chinese and English.

There will be two sessions: 10:00am and 1:30pm.

This event is also being offered on Zoom. If you would like to participate, please click here.

Discovering the Buddha Within

EVENT REGISTRATION: Discovering The Buddha Within
Level I, Inner Peace
May 1-4, 2025
了解更多

Discovering the Buddha Within is an experiential learning program of the Buddha Dharma created as part of the vast vision of Guru Vajradhara His Holiness the 12th Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa.
The three-year program consists of three levels: Level I, Inner Peace, Level 2, Awakened Heart, and Level 3, Original Purity.
Level I focuses on calming the mind and developing insight and wisdom through some simple yet profound study, meditations, and contemplations derived from the Shravakayana teachings of the Buddha. Awareness meditations and precise knowledge will allow students to discover inner peace, accept and let go of worldly concerns without grasping at or rejecting them, and develop a stable aspiration for genuine freedom. Guided meditations and question-and-answer sessions will help students learn how to start a daily meditation practice at home.
For those new to Buddhism, the practice commitment is to practice at least 10 minutes every day for a minimum of 30 consecutive days. For those who are already practicing the Buddha Dharma, their actual practice will work as the commitment.
For Chinese translation in-person: Please bring your own devices (smartphones or tablets) with headphones and Zoom app installed. Those devices with no cellular service may connect to the guest WiFi. Please bring a power bank or juice box if needed.

Please Note:
Pre-Registration is required. Attendance is IN-PERSON ONLY and participants are required to attend all sessions.

Message Regarding Accommodations
We appreciate everyone’s interest in the upcoming “Discovering the Buddha Within” program scheduled for May 1-4, 2025. We very much hope you can join us for this event, the inauguration of Guru Vajradhara Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa’s three-year curriculum, to be taught by His Eminence Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.
Since we will not know until much closer to the event what accommodations will be available at the monastery, we strongly recommend that everyone who plans to attend the DBW program at PTC act now to book hotel or vacation rental accommodations, because by spring it may be difficult to find them in the Poughkeepsie-Wappingers Falls-Fishkill area. You may even consider connecting with other sangha members to share accommodations and costs.

【大悲觀世音菩薩齋戒（新）】 見下文中文翻譯

Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara, typically depicted as having two or four arms, is the embodiment of fully awakened compassion, the heartfelt wish and initiative to free all beings from suffering. Thousand-Armed Chenrezig, who has 11 heads in various colors, and 1,000 arms and hands with an eye in the center of each palm, thus represents the infinite capacity of the awakened mind to see the suffering of beings in all directions and to offer help in infinite ways. The main practice associated with Thousand-Armed Chenrezig is Nyungne, a profound kriya tantra meditation ritual based on loving-kindness and compassion and renowned as a superior means to purify negative karma and accumulate great merit.
Khenpo Donyo Rinpoche is the main spiritual successor of Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche, and has visited and taught at PTC several times previously. Read his biography here.

Chinese translation will be available.

It is said that, during this time, the merit accumulated through performing virtuous activity is multiplied 100,000 times.
The Nyungne practice is a profound kriya tantra meditation ritual based on loving-kindness and compassion in the form of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig. The practice involves maintaining strict vows and meditating while reciting mantras and prayers, and performing prostrations and visualizations. Undertaken in sets of two days, the first day includes one vegetarian meal at noon, drinking water throughout the day as needed. The second day is a complete fast performed in noble silence. The Nyungne is renowned as a superior means to purify negative karma and accumulate great merit.
Chenrezig himself declared that completing even one Nyungne prevents rebirth in the lower realms, and the practice of eight consecutive Nyungne leads to birth in Amitabha’s pure land of Dewachen.

The dates for each set are as follows:

Set 1 Begins May 27 (Tuesday) at 5:30 am. Ends May 29 (Thursday) about 8:00 am.
Set 2 Begins May 29 (Thursday) at 5:00 am. Ends May 31(Saturday) about 8:00 am.
Set 3 Begins May 31 (Saturday at 5:00 am. Ends June 2 (Monday) about 8:00 am.
Set 4 Begins June 2 (Monday) at 5:00 am. Ends June 4 (Wednesday) about 8:00 am.
Set 5 Begins June 4 (Wednesday) at 5:00 am. Ends June 6 (Friday) about 8:00 am.
Set 6 Begins June 6 (Friday) at 5:00 am. Ends June 8 (Sunday) about 8:00 am.

Commemoration of Buddha's Joyful Day
2025-08-30 06:00 - 2025-08-31 16:00 | Palpung Thubten Chöling, 245 Sheafe Road, Wappingers Falls, NY, 12590, United States
The observance of Buddha’s Joyful Day on the full moon day of the seventh lunar month is based on the story of Maudgalyayana, a disciple of the Buddha, who discovered through his meditative powers that his mother had been reborn as a hungry ghost. Distressed, he approached the Buddha for help, who then advised him to make offerings to the Sangha, as the merit from doing so would help relieve the suffering of his mother and other beings in the lower realms. Buddha’s Joyful Day is observed by making offerings of necessities to monastics, reciting sūtras and performing acts of generosity. The merit from these deeds is dedicated to all beings, especially to relieve the suffering of the deceased.

August 30 (Saturday)
6:00 am | Thousandfold Lamp Offering (Tong Chö)
A traditional Tong Chö of 1,000 butter lamps, 1,000 bowls of saffron water and 300 bowls filled with rice, incense and flowers is offered weekly.
The following chanting session is being offered remotely. To participate via Zoom please click here.
10:00 am | Kalu Rinpoche’s Practice of Aspiration Prayers (Monlam Choga), followed by the Short Practice of the Peaceful & Wrathful Deities (Shitro)
Monlam Choga, is a practice of offering and aspiration prayers compiled by Dorje Chang Kalu Rinpoche. This is followed by the short liturgy of Shitro (Peaceful and Wrathful Deities), a profound practice from the cycle of teachings and meditations of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. We dedicate this practice to the deceased in order to purify negativities, avert obstacles in the bardo, and establish a connection with the deities that will ripen in future lives.
To join the chanting please download Kalu Rinpoche’s Practice of Aspiration Prayers (Monlam Choga)

August 31 (Sunday)
Please join us as we make prayers and offerings for our parents, ancestors, and the deceased through a special recitation of the Amitabha sadhana with tsok offerings, a fire puja for the deceased, and aspiration prayers for the well being of us and all other beings, especially those to whom we dedicate the practice by name, both living and deceased.
10:00 am | Chanting of Long Amitabha Sadhana
1:30 pm | Continuation of chanting of Long Amitabha Sadhana with Tsok, Jangchok Sadhana, followed by Sür (special fire offering ceremony)
To participate via Zoom please click here.

The practice entitled ‘Jangchok’ will be included within the chanting of the Amitabha sadhana. Jangchok is done for the benefit of the recently deceased to achieve liberation. For persons who may have passed away a long time ago the Jangchok practice will still bring great blessings to the deceased and create the causes and conditions for the liberation of the person. For the living, it is said that once their karmic debtors are liberated through this practice, the person will have less obstacles. For all beings, this practice will help to create favorable conditions and enhance their well-being.
It is said that, “no matter how long ago your deceased dear ones or relatives have passed away, it is still very vital to make prayers and offerings for them to increase their merit.”
During the chanting of the Long Amitabha and Jangchok sadhanas all the names of the deceased will be blessed and burned to symbolize purification of their defilements, obscurities and negative karma by the fire of wisdom, ripening their merit to be reborn in Amitabha’s pureland of Dewachen. Also included will be a dedication of merit to all sponsors and their designated names for blessing. As it is taught in the Ullambana Sūtra, the merit of making these offerings will bring excellent health, long life, removal of obstacles from the donor’s dharma practice and work, and rebirth of the deceased in Dewachen. The merit will also be dedicated to world peace and the liberation of all sentient beings. May the Dharma continue to flourish.
You may donate any amount and provide us with the names for dedication (both living and deceased). To make these dedications, download the Amitabha Sadhana Dedication Form in Chinese and English.

This text offers lucid advice to practitioners on the Bodhisattva path, providing practical methods for transforming any situation into an opportunity for awakening. Ngulchu Thogme’s verses summarize the quintessence of the Mahayana path as represented in the famous Bodhicaryavatara by Shantideva and are thus venerated and frequently quoted by masters of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
* These sessions are being offered in person and on Zoom.

Bestowal of the Bodhisattva Vow
Oct. 19 (Sunday) 2:30 pm
Rinpoche will be offering the Refuge Vow at the beginning of this session.
Ringu Tulku Rinpoche will bestow the Bodhisattva Vow which is the heart of the Mahayana Buddhist path. It is the affirmation that the root of true happiness and wisdom is bodhicitta, the resolve to attain enlightenment for the benefit of others. Taking and maintaining the Bodhisattva Vow reinforces bodhicitta.
It is customary for those receiving the Bodhisattva vow to bring offerings to the shrine such as fruit, incense or flowers, and to offer a kata (traditional white scarf) and monetary gift directly to the Rinpoche bestowing the vows after the ceremony to express sincerity and commitment to cultivating bodhicitta. Please arrive 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony to set up your offerings with the help of the shrine attendant.
A Body, Speech & Mind Offering ceremony will be held at the end of Sunday afternoon’s session. Following this ceremony, the Sangha may line up to make an offering with kata (offering scarf) to Rinpoche.
** This session is being offered in-person only.

林谷祖古仁波切－傳授《佛子行三十七頌》及菩薩戒
10月18日 上午10:00 – 10月19日 下午5:00

邀請大家與尊貴的藏傳佛教大師林谷祖古仁波切共度週末。
將提供中文翻譯

時程：
開示《佛子行三十七頌》

10月19日（星期日）上午10:00 – 11:30
仁波切將開示藏傳佛教大師無著賢菩薩於14世紀撰寫的《佛子行三十七頌》。這部經典為修習菩薩行者提供了清晰的指導，將任何境遇轉化為覺悟契機的實用方法。無著賢菩薩的偈語總括了大乘道精髓，正如寂天菩薩著名的《入菩薩行論》所表述般，因此受到藏傳佛教各派上師的尊崇和引用。
* 本次課程將現場和Zoom視訊進行。

傳授菩薩戒
10月19日（星期日）下午2:30
仁波切將在活動開始時授予皈依戒
林谷祖古仁波切將授與大乘道的核心，菩薩戒。如衆所確認，真正幸福和智慧的根本源於菩提心，即為利益眾生而成佛之愿心。受持菩薩戒可以強化菩提心。
依慣例，受戒者需供養佛堂水果、香或鮮花等供品，並在受戒儀式結束後直接向授戒的仁波切獻供哈達（kata）和紅包，以表生起菩提心的誠意和承諾。請在儀式開始前30分鐘到達，並在佛堂侍者的幫助下準備好供品。
週日下午課程結束後，將舉行獻供身語意儀式。儀式結束後，僧伽大眾可排隊向仁波切獻上哈達（kata）。
