His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche
Saturday will be the long life celebration for HE Garchen Rinpoche at Garchen Buddhist Institute and in honor of this very auspicious day, we will practice White Tara.
The White Tara sadhana is the “Refined Drop of Immortality: A Longevity Mandala Practice of Arya Tara, The Wish-Granting Cakra,” written by H.E. Garchen Rinpoche’s previous incarnation, Trinley Yongkhyab. Having seen three visions of Arya Tara herself, Trinley Yongkhyab wrote down this text, scarcely violating her enlightened speech. This particular form of White Tara is very sacred to students of Garchen Rinpoche.
10:00am - 12:00pm | White Tara Practice and Mantra Accumulation
We will also continue as scheduled with our regular White Tara Practice on

The center has authentic Buddhist teachers, both local and visiting,

Annual Membership Invitation
As many of you know, this May Gar Drolma will be hosting a historic visit
from our center's founder, His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche. Rinpoche will
be bestowing the empowerment and transmission of Chakrasamvara,
a practice central to the Drikung Kagyu lineage. Additionally, Rinpoche
will confer thirteen empowerments of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage over
three days, a first in America.
The historic nature of the spring retreat highlights the importance of Gar
Drolma as a home for Garchen Rinpoche's Drikung Kagyu Lineage in
particular and a peerless regional (now national) venue for the
continued transmission of the Dharma in general.
The operation of Gar Drolma depends entirely on the generous
financial contributions of donors, and thus during the spring retreat we
will be conducting a membership drive to help further stabilize the
center.
It is Rinpoche’s heartfelt wish that Gar Drolma remain for generations to
come as a home for the Dharma and a source of benefit for beings. At this
time we invite you to consider supporting Garchen Rinpoche's vision
and his tireless work on behalf of the Dharma and all beings by
becoming a contributing member of Gar Drolma.
For those of you who are already members, we extend our sincere and
heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for your truly wonderful generosity.
