For those with little time
It is necessary to have a Tendrel Nyesel or Guru Rinpoche empowerment to attend these sessions.
Senior Teacher Sébastien Reggiany will hold two practice sessions to guide students on how to do the Brief Tendrel Nyesel sadhana in its simplest form, without performing a tsok. We will walk step-by-step through the practice text, learning how to recite the liturgy in Tibetan and in the native languages of English and French. Pascal Rey, Senior Practice Holder, will join as the Umdze.
These sessions are both for those just becoming familiar with Tendrel Nyesel or who would like to learn how to do the practice more simply.
