Kyabgon Phakchok Rinpoche Singapore Teaching December 2013 Padmasambhava (“Lotus Born”) was the great accomplished sage from Oddiyana (Urgyen, modern day North-West Pakistan) who established Buddhism in the Himalayan Kingdoms of Tibetan, Bhutan and others. Although he was not the first Buddhist teacher to visit these lands, it was Padmasambhava, through his many manifestations who solved the unique challenges and barriers faced by the Himalayan people in their conversion to Buddhism. As the founder of Vajrayana Buddhism in the Himalayan lands, he is revered as Guru Rinpoche. Urgyen Norhla, Orgyen Norhla or Lama Norhla is Guru Rinpoche’s manifestation as the deity of wealth. True wealth is the freedom from want - the Lama Norhla Puja is one of the most popular Vajrayana practices because it brings together all the paths of accumulation – Dzambhala, obstacle removal, magnetizing, increasing sociability, improving connections, subjugating negativity. Until now, only Rinpoche and monks have conducted the Lama Norhla puja on behalf of the followers of the Chokling Tesar lineage. 10th/ 11th Dec : In this two day Lama Norhla Retreat, Kyabgon Phakchok Rinpoche will teach the entire sadhana to the attendees, covering the true meaning of Lama Norhla practice, motivation and dedication. Our monks will teach all the mudras and torma making needed. Rinpoche will confer the Lama Norhla empowerment on day one, and we will go through the actual Lama Norhla Puja together at the end of day two. At the end of the retreat, attendees will have the full empowerment, transmission and explanation to practice Lama Norhla as their Yidam practice at home.
