Practice text by Jigme Lingpa, arranged for 2022 Portland Teaching by Adzom Paylo Rinpoche is entitled: Supreme Great Bliss Bestowed: The Distilled Heart Essence of Mother Rigzin's Pure Vitality
The Great Bliss Queen is a two-year sequence and will continue May 2027.
Our Rinpoche, after praying to Jigme Lingpa, distilled his 18th century text to offer us an easy way to connect with the bliss-filled and passionately compassionate Yeshe Ysogyal the Great Bliss Queen. She is the principle Dakini of the Heart Essence Great Expanse Cycle revealed by Jigme Lingpa.
Given a continuation of auspicious circumstances, the Great Bliss Queen wang (initiation) will be offered on Dakini Day, May 12th for all attending in person by Lama Rigzin Drolma. Lama Rigzin will also offer formal Jenang (permission to practice) for thos live on line (time to be announced). All this prepares us to fully embody her in our May 2027 Great Bliss Queen formal retreat (Drup-cho).
Fee: $900/$750/$600/$450*
