Healing CHoD with Venerable Lho Ontul Rinpoche

Healing CHoD

with Venerable Lho Ontul Rinpoche

Chöd is a practice that combines Buddhist meditation with ancient shamanic ritual. This powerful ceremony of chant and drumming is open to everyone. The word "Chöd" means to cut through, or "chop," and what is chopped off is ultimately the Ego. Thereby our pure awareness is set free to perceive reality, and the whole world becomes potent as a place of blessing, power and awareness. The Healing Chöd ceremony is designed to lift away spiritual oppression and lessen the sources of suffering and disease. As participants sit comfortably, Rinpoche sings the powerful ritual to the accompaniment of drum, bell and thigh-bone horn. Rinpoche is known for his warm humor, wisdom, and vast bodhicitta. The Tibetan spiritual teacher and yogi Ontul Rinpoche is widely recognized as a master of this ancient healing practice and of both the Drikung Kagyu and Nyingma lineage. Individual blessings will be offered at the conclusion of this rare event.

Cost: $40. Preregistration Required as space is limited.
