Ushnishavijaya retreat led by Drubpon Tsering Rinpoche  starts Fri. Jan. 12 kl. 18 at Ratnashri Meditation Center, Lidingö  
It is such an auspicious coincidence that Ratnashri Meditation Center (Friggavägen 11, Lidingö) will engage in precisely this beneficial Ushnishavijaya retreat. Ushnishavijaya (Namgyalma) translated as “Victorious Crown Ornament” is one of three special long-life deities along with the Buddha Amitayus and White Tara. Ushnishavijaya is commonly associated with long life and healing. H.E. Garchen Rinpoche said, “When the Ushnishavijaya dharani mantra is uttered, all the buddhas will guard and protect one's lifespan from being exhausted or shortened. The abode of the lower realms will be emptied and the door to the pure realm of Sukhavati will be opened. All will be born there and so forth. There are limitless benefits.”  It is said in the sadhana that upon one’s merely thinking of her, the Glorious Goddess grants the siddhi of abundant life and conquers the hostile demon of the Lord Death.

Come and join this powerful retreat. Through our powerful practice in the Ushnishavijaya mandala, we invoke blessings from the deity and all buddhas and bodhisattvas to pacify hindrances and obstacles, to guard, protect, and prolong the lifespan of ourselves and others. The program can be found here. Ushnishavijaya teaching will be on Friday Jan. 12 evening kl. 18. Empowerment takes place on Saturday morning kl. 10-12 followed by practice sessions of Ushnishavijaya puja, prayers; in particular, recitation of Ushnishavijaya dharani. You are free to choose which practice session(s) your schedule permits you to join.

All merits will be dedicated to good health, happiness, peace, harmony, prosperity, and longevity to all beings in all universes; in particular, we will dedicate to the longevity of H.E Garchen Rinpoche and all teachers for their widespread Dharmic activities in this world to benefit all mother sentient beings.

Tsongkhapa’s Three Principal Aspects of the Path will be taught at Ratnashri Meditation Center Jan. 14 Sun. kl. 9-12, Mon. and Tues. kl. 18-20:30
Drubpon Tsering Rinpoche also offers the elucidation of Je Tsongkhapa’s Three Principal Aspects of the Path. This text though short, only 14 verses, is the basis of the entire sutra and tantra paths. It contains the very essence of the Buddha's teaching.

Milarepa’s Songs of Realization will be taught at Folkuniversitetet (Kungstensg. 45, Stockholm) Thurs. Jan. 11 kl. 18:30-20:00
Lastly, we invite all to Drubpon Tsering Rinpoche’s free public teaching on Milarepa’s songs of realization. Program can be found here. Invite all your friends who may be interested. All are welcome.

Dedication (excerpt from Shantideva’s Way of the Bodhisattva):
May all beings everywhere plagued by sufferings of body and mind obtain an ocean of happiness and joy by virtue of my merits. May all who are sick and ill quickly be freed from their ailments. Whatever diseases there are in the world, may they never occur again. May the frightened cease to be afraid and those bound be freed; may the powerless find power, and may people think of benefiting each other. For as long as space remains, for as long as sentient beings remain, until then may I too remain to dispel the miseries of the world.
