Learn About Palyul US Summer Retreat

.

Meditation has become an increasingly popular and effective way to promote mental and physical health, bringing profound benefits to the mind, body, and spirit. At the Palyul Retreat Center, attendees will not only learn how to meditate, but they will also receive deeper teachings on how to generate compassion and cultivate inner peace.

The center holds formally organized retreats every summer, beginning with the July 4th weekend Nyungné (fasting and purification) retreat and followed by the annual summer retreat, which lasts from July 10 to August 10. The program features the traditional step-by-step approach, from the foundation practices of Ngondrö to the deep meditation practices Dzogchen Trekchö, providing attendees with an immersive and comprehensive experience.

In 2023, the center will host a cultural program, religious blessings, music, and a picnic on August 5 and 6. All attendees should read the center's COVID policy, which is available here.

Individuals can also request permission to conduct a personal weekend retreat at the center, with facilities available for extended personal retreats by Palyul students. This presents an opportunity for attendees to experience the tranquility and peacefulness of the center at their own pace.

Meditation has the power to transform lives and provide individuals with a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. If you're looking for a transformative experience, come join us at the Palyul Retreat Center this summer, and discover how "Liberation is in the Palm of Your Hand".

This year we have a special gift for those donating $160 or more (or $150 if picking up in person): the Yangbum or Treasure Vase.

The Yang Bum (The Fortune Vase) is a special vase prepared according to Guru Rinpoche’s terma scripture to increase peace and positive energy within people and also harmonize the elements of the environment.

It is filled with chakras of wealth, auspiciousness and long life. It also holds holy substances collected from sacred places around the world, crystals, semi-precious stones and other artifacts, which are blessed and consecrated to magnetize the energies of prosperity, harmony and long life as well as to ensure the preservation of family lineages and the flourishing of Dharma. It also contains herbal medicines for healing and substances that avert negative forces.

The vase was made at Palyul Ling International, McDonough, NY presided by HH Gyangkhang Rinpoche, HH Mugsang Kuchen Rinpoche, Khenchen Tshewang Gyatso, tulkus, khenpos and sangha following the guidelines of the glorious Palyul lineage.

In addition to the substances mentioned above, the vase contains pills made by His Holiness Pema Norbu Rinpoche that contain the relics and holy substances from his personal collection.

The vase is to be kept on an altar, or if placed in your office or business venues it must be placed on high and respectable place. One must not open the vase! If damaged, it must be fixed and consecrated by a qualified master.
