A budding tert&ouml;n, he had traveled from the Serta region to stay with the prominent Gili family. As his capacities as a healer became known among the local nomadic communities, he came to be called Gili Tert&ouml;n. Those with karmic affinity who followed in his footsteps wandered in caves and mountains to practice his treasure teachings, and one by one, they all attained the highest levels of awakening. This cycle holds the quintessence path of Dzogchen, yet within it are also concise healing ch&ouml;d rituals and practices that work at the most foundational levels of human experience. Among them, the Changbu Gyatsa is a potent healing ch&ouml;d ritual that severs and heals the deepest roots of suffering: what we carry unresolved in our bodies, illness, grief, trauma, and stress, giving space to set the ground for a suitable vessel for awakening to blossom. As D&uuml;djom Lingpa himself prophesied, this cycle is a timely ambrosia for the chaos and suffering of our age. At the heart of this ceremony lie one hundred handprints, each one a living imprint. Arranged as the five desirable objects, these karmic imprints become an offering, freed into the vast, luminous presence of the wisdom Ḍākinī Tr&ouml;ma Nagmo, Krodikālī. She is fierce in form and boundless in compassion, meeting our confusions with love that expects nothing but openness. &quot;If you visualize through the key points, the recipient of your offering, the Mother Dakini, will be pleased. The recipients of your charities, the demons, will all be appeased as well. You will free yourself from inner and outer obstacles and hindrances and produce the ultimate great merit.&quot; &mdash; Dudjom Lingpa What to ExpectThis session includes explanations, guided meditation, and a ritual in which you are welcome to lie down, relax, and open yourself to the healer within the great wisdom mother. No prior experience with Ch&ouml;d, Tibetan Buddhism, or meditation is required. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1780730549/wysiwyg/kj2tojlvqtetemkhspun.jpg" style="width: 89px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto 5px 0px; text-align: left; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 89px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto 5px 0px; text-align: left;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"> Drubpon Pema Rigdzin (Lama Freddie) brings over thirty years of Tibetan Buddhist training to his teaching, including two traditional three-year Vajrayāna retreats under Lama Tharchin Rinpoche.
