Lho Ratna RinpocheTibetan Book of the Dead
Yangzab Shitro Hundred Peaceful and Wrathful Deities Empowerment
April 11th to 13th
Bristol, Vermont
🙏 🙏 🙏
100 PEACEFUL AND WRATHFUL DEITIES
This empowerment introduces the practitioner to experiences described in the Tibetan Book of the Dead (Bardo Thodol) and helps prepare one to recognize the true nature of mind encountered in the bardo (intermediate state) between death and rebirth.
- This is a rare empowerment that will further develop the companion practice of Phowa.
- Liberation can follow a single moment’s recognition at the time of death or in the bardo between lives.
- This complete transmission includes teachings on the True Nature of Mind.
This teaching of the Peaceful and Wrathful Deities is the supreme method for the practitioners who are entering into the practices of the Creation Stage, the Completion Stage, and the Great Perfection. It is the supreme method for them to amend all of their impairments of samaya that have become fragmented. It is the supreme method for them to purify the obscurations of conceptuality, and it is the supreme method for them to help all sentient beings, by pulling them up from the lower realms of samsara and establishing them in the karmic fortune of obtaining the supreme siddhi [enlightenment].
It is also said that merely hearing this teaching prevents birth in the lower realms; merely understanding it causes one to travel the path of great bliss; and bringing its meaning to mind causes one to accomplish the irreversible state of the spontaneously arisen awareness holder. For everyone who connects with this teaching there will be great purpose and meaning

Lho Ratna Rinpoche Biography
Ratna Rinpoche (Orgyen Drodul Dorje Rinpoche) was born in Mandi (Zahor), India, in 1980. Numerous auspicious signs accompanied his birth, and accomplished yogis had clear visions that the son of Lho Ontul Rinpoche and Tashi Dolma was a being of great scope. In 2003, the Rinpoche was officially recognized by H.E. Tertön Dzogchen Ganor Rinpoche, H.H. Dalai Lama and H.H. Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche as the ‘Quality Emanation’ of the 4th Lho Drongtrul, the great early 20th century Drikung Treasure revealer Orgyen Lho Nuden Dorje (1849-1902)
Rinpoche studied Buddhist philosophy and Tibetan grammar at Drikung Jangchub Ling Monastery in Dehra Dun, took his monastic vows from H.H. Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche, trained at Dzongzsar Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö Insitute in Bir, India with great Kenpos. He has received many important transmissions and empowerments from great masters, such as H.H. the Dalai Lama, H.H. Sakya Trinzin, H.H. Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche, H.E. Lho Ontul Rinpoche, H.E. Garchen Rinpoche, and H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche.
Ratna Rinpoche now leads the Drikung Kagyu Monastery in Tso Pema, India, where he resides with his wife, Sonam Choedon and family. Rinpoche is actively engaged in setting up an academy and regularly visits his main seat at Lungkar Ogmin Thubten Shedrup Ling Monastery in Nangchen, Tibet. With his late Father, Kyabje Ontul Rinpoche, he has travelled frequently throughout North America, Malaysia, and Europe, teaching, translating, and giving transmissions to Dharma to students in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. His oral translations and explanations, born of study and meditation, bear the unmistakable stamp of great love, knowledge, and understanding of the Dharma.
