Longchenpa’s Life and Teaching – Practice of His Guru Sadhana (SI Western Door)

Join the Siddhartha’s Intent Western Door Sangha for a practice in honor of the Parinirvana Anniversary of Longchenpa.

Regarded as a consummate master of the Great Perfection, Longchenpa fused the Dzogchen lineages of Padmasambhava and Vimalamitra. It is said that “Padmasambhava pointed to the door, and Longchenpa opened it.” Since the fourteenth-century, Longchenpa’s teachings have been the guiding light of practitioners of the Great Perfection. As such, there is a tradition of celebrating his nirvana on the 18th of the 12th Tibetan month. In honor of this tradition, we will practice the Guru Puja according to the Longchen Nyingtik and read passages from Longchenpa’s writings. Everyone who has a connection to Longchenpa and the Great Perfection teaching is welcome. The texts will be displayed on the screen, so you do not need to prepare anything.
