First and third Thursday of each month | Medicine Buddha Practice and The Verses that Saved Sakya from Sickness

Please join us as we chant this essential practice which can increase our healing powers so that we can help those in our lives who are struggling with illness and obstacles and also remove our own physical and mental suffering. An abbreviated version of the Chenrezig practice is inserted in the prayer which follows, known as the Verses that Saved Sakya from Sickness.

Second, fourth and fifth Thursday of each month | Chenrezig Practice

Please join us as we chant and meditate in order to realize our inborn great compassion. Guru Vajradhara Tai Situ Rinpoche has said that, “Chenrezig is the embodiment of compassion, Bodhicitta. We reach Buddhahood intentionally, and the intention is Bodhicitta. That is what Chenrezig represents. The Chenrezig Sadhana is the most sacred and profound sadhana. By practicing it with awareness, you can attain Chenrezig’s enlightened body, speech, and mind.”

The liturgies are being screen shared and are translated as well as written phonetically. You can chant along, or silently read the translation.

Our primary source, Ornament of Precious Liberation, by the great master of the Kagyu lineage, Lord Gampopa, is considered a spiritual classic of Tibetan Buddhism. HH 17th Karmapa shares in his foreword to the book, that “this text has the power of a direct transmission from master to student” and that Gampopa himself promised that studying this text would be the same as receiving the teachings directly from him.
In order to develop our understanding of this profound work, we will also be referring to Path to Buddhahood, a very accessible and illuminating commentary by Ringu Tulku.
The books used will be:
Ornament of Precious Liberation, translator Ken Holmes, Wisdom Publications
Path to Buddhahood, by Ringu Tulku, Shambala
The material will be screen-shared each class, so it is not necessary to buy the books. The class is open to all levels of experience, and anyone is welcome to join at any time without attending previous sessions. There is no charge for participating.

These classes are being offered in person and on Zoom. If you would like to participate remotely, please use our online event registration form.

Discovering the Buddha Within
2025-05-01 08:00 - 2025-05-04 20:00
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.

Nyungne Retreat - The Fasting Ritual and Meditation of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig
2025-05-27 05:30 - 2025-06-12 08:00
The resident sangha of PTC will be practicing 8 consecutive sets of Nyungne (the Fasting Ritual and Meditation of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig). This retreat will be held during the auspicious month of Saga Dawa, the month commemorating the birth, enlightenment and parinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha. 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.
Set 7 Begins June 8 (Sunday) at 5:00 am. Ends June 10 (Tuesday) about 8:00 am.
Set 8 Begins June 10 (Tuesday) at 5:00 am. Ends June 12 (Thursday) about 8:00 am.

This event is in-person only. It will not be accessible remotely.

Guests are welcome to participate in any or all of the Nyungne sets but please note – it is necessary to arrive at PTC by 8:00 pm the evening before any set as the practice begins as early as 5:00 am every day throughout the retreat.
Guests attending a nyungne for the first time must speak to Lama Dechi before doing this practice. Please contact her by email or call 845-297-2500 (leaving both your name and phone number so that she can get back to you).
We do suggest that guests try to come for the 1st day of any given nyungne set, but if that is not practical, it is still possible to participate any day of the retreat. For further details for how to participate in this way, please follow the contact instructions above.

Please note that accommodations are only open to program participants.
