In preparation for Garchen Rinpcohe’s Manjushri Yamantaka Empowerment and Teachings at DNL on December 10th & 11th, there will be an oral-transmission of the Manjushri Yamantaka Accomplishment retreat text (Rigzin Chodrag/Nuden Dorje) by local sangha members – as requested by Garchen Rinpoche. He will not be able to give the oral-transmission of the text during the teachings – due to time constraints.


There will be 3 sessions offered and each session will be a complete reading of the long form of the text. If you’re interested in receiving this it is necessary to participate in only one complete oral-transmission session. It is okay to participate in this as often as you like. Each oral transmission session requires approximately 2 & 1/2 hours to complete. It’s recommended to allow a little extra wiggle-room time – in case the sessions run over time.

Garchen Rinpoche has recommended that you receive the oral-transmission – if you are participating in the studying and practice of this text. It is not required or a pre-requisite to participate in these preparatory sessions to attend the Yamanataka Empowerment or Teachings on Dec 10/11 with Garchen Rinpoche. The oral transmission is only required if you are participating in the study/orientation group below.
