Nyen-Gyud Samten Choe-Ling, Tibetan Buddhist Institute presents the 4th annual MAHA GURU BOOM TSOK
Portland, Oregon, June 27th through July 2nd, 2009
This important gathering of monks, nuns, Rinpoches from all four traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. It is an opportunity to participate in the only Boom Tsok held in the United States. We will pray for the long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the fulfillment of His aspirations, will pray for an early end to the suffering of Tibetans, and will pray for sustained peace in the world.
Every year we host a week of group offering prayers of Maha Guru Boom Tsok, a treasure text revealed by Great Terton Rigzin Godem. It is led by our spiritual director, Jigme Thinley Rinpoche, along with other visiting teachers from all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Considering the importance of this particular practice, this group prayer is also held annually in Dharamasala, India under the auspices of the Tibetan Government in exile and is presided over by His Holiness The Dalai Lama.
The intimate environment of Boom Tsok is a precious opportunity to be in the presence of the teachers Bodicitta, and to make prayers and aspirations along side his/her inner spirit of compassion and wisdom which they embody. It is a profound and life changing experience.
The Maha Guru Boom Tsok is open to anyone who wishes to make a connection to this practice or simply deepen their spiritual path. Everyone is cordially invited to join us to celebrate this special and important occasion
