Palpung Thubten Choling is honored to welcome back His Eminence Chungpo Gyalton Rinpoche during his upcoming North American tour for bestowal of refuge, teachings and empowerments.
In 1983, His Holiness the 12th Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa enthroned Gyalton Tulku Rinpoche of Rumtek Monastery. After finishing his university studies, Rinpoche returned to Palpung Sherabling to study under the guidance of Kenting Tai Situpa and other gurus. HE Gyalton Rinpoche is a close disciple and heart son of HH Tai Situpa, and has taught at Palpung centers in Asia, Europe, and North America. He is one of the main teachers of the Palpung study and practice program Discovering the Buddha Within. Currently, Rinpoche resides at Palpung Sherabling.
Chinese translation will be available.

The following events will take place at the Sheraton Hotel, 135-20 39th Ave, Flushing, NY 11354-4450
1:00 pm – 1:30 pm | Teaching by HE Gyalton Rinpoche
1:30 pm – 3:00 pm | White Dzambhala Empowerment
White Dzambhala is an emanation of the compassionate Chenrezig and the embodiment of generosity. Guru Rinpoche manifested as the five families of Dzambhala in order to relieve the suffering of poverty of beings that is caused by the negative karma of greed. The practice of White Dzambhala is a great treasury of merit that purifies the causes of both material and spiritual poverty, and brings an abundance of prosperity and virtue. It prompts auspicious conditions for long life, good health, the balancing of the elements, and freedom from war.
