Ven. Sungtrul Rinpoche will bestow the Amitayus (Buddha of Long Life) empowerment, a special treasure of Pema Lingpa, and then will give a brief talk on the importance of venerating sacred relics in Vajrayana Buddhism before giving blessings with one of the relics (all the relics will be exhibited as well).

Rinpoche has brought with him to the West a collection of 27 sacred and precious Vajrayana Buddhist relics that have never before been outside of Bhutan and Tibet.   The sacred relics include ringsel (self-arising relic) from Guru Rinpoche's tooth, the Great Longchen Rabjampa's seal and prayer bead, bone fragment from the first Pema Lingpa, script from Vairotsana the Translator, belt fragment from Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal, and many other precious objects.  The relics carry all of the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from whom they emanated and with whom they were connected.  This is a rare opportunity to connect with the profound blessings of these sacred objects. 

Suggested Donation:  $30 (No one turned away for lack of funds)
