About Gongchig
The Gongchig of Lord Jigten Sumgon conveys clearly the essence of the Buddha’s teachings. It delineates the causal law of the universe, Nagarjuna’s philosophy of interdependence, and opens one’s mind to principles of ethics that help to guard oneself against confusion and deceit. Thus, the Gongchig is a guide for every Dharma practitioner – for both study and application in daily life. This edition comprises translations of the Gongchig root text by Jigten Sumgon and of the commentary by Rigdzin Chokyi Dragpa, as well as the original Tibetan texts.
The Gongchig teachings precisely describe the boundary between Samsara and Nirvana. This teaching series will provide all of us, Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike, a profound insight into the essential teachings of the Buddha, and we will experience from an authentic teacher how we may implement them in our contemporary daily lives. This series of Gongchig teachings will begin at Drikung Dharma Surya Center (DDSC) in this Fall 2022 during Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen Rinpoche ‘s stay, and will be continued to be bestowed by Rinpoche thru end of 2022 if needed.
About Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen Rinpoche
Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen Rinpoche came to the West in the early 1980’s and founded several major Buddhist centers worldwide. Rinpoche is respected and beloved as an accomplished scholar, meditation master, teacher, translator and author. In 2001 he received the high honor of being enthroned as Khenchen (Great Abbot). Khenchen Rinpoche is a wonderful author and translator who has translated for many years important Dharma texts and has written profound commentaries on them, to allow his students and those seriously interested in the Dharma, to come into contact with authentic Dharma knowledge. His Holiness the 37th Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang has kindly invited Khenchen Konchok Gyaltsen Rinpoche to give teachings on the Gongchig, which contains the heart essence of the complete Drikung Kagyu Lineage composed by Kyobpa Jigten Sumgön. Starting November 11, 2012, Khenchen Rinpoche provided detailed teachings on this particular subject for two and a half months at the Drikung Kagyu College in Dehradun, India. Aside from the Gongchig (The Single Intent), the most important philosophical legacy of Kyobpa Jigten Sumgön, Khenchen Rinpoche teaches with passion and with great enthusiasm the Heart Essence of Mahāyāna Teachings.

Shamatha Meditation Instructions, Stages of Meditation
“Shamatha is the method of meditation where we develop single-pointed concentration so the mind does not follow our discursive conceptual thoughts, but just relaxes in a state of stillness and ease…When we develop shamatha, we develop inner peace and happiness. The mind becomes happy and relaxed…”
~ Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche, Learning Buddhism
All meditation must begin with arousing deep compassion. Whatever one does must emerge from an attitude of love and benefiting others.
~ Milarepa

2nd ANNUAL KANGYUR RECITATION
Led by Venerable Khenpo Thupsang
July 18, 2022 to August 14, 2022
Weekdays, Monday – Friday
8:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. EDT
1:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. EDT
Weekends, Saturday – Sunday
9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EDT
2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. EDT
Join us in person at Drikung Dharma Surya Center, or from your location around the world via Zoom, to participate in this very special Kangyur recitation led by Venerable Khenpo Thupsang.
Khenpo Konchok Thupsang was born in Tibet and had his early training at the Gar Monastery in eastern Tibet. He later had nine years of Dharma education at Dzongsar Khyentse Chokyi Lodro Institute in Chauntra, India. Khenpo Thupsang entered the Kagyu Monastery in Tibet at the age of 15 and he further studied sutra and tantra in the Dzongsar Buddhist College. Since then, Khenpo has been abbot and teacher at the Lhagon Jangchub Choling Buddhist Cultural Society in India for several years.
Since coming to the USA to teach Dharma in H.E. Garchen Rinpoche’s sanghas, Khenpo Thupsang has so kindly recited prayers and the Kangyur texts while at Drikung Dharma Surya Center, benefiting so many beings.
Kangyur, or “translated words,” consists of works in about 100 volumes, said to have been spoken by the Buddha himself. Khenpo Konchok Thupsang will lead the recitation of the sacred Kangyur text in the DDSC shrine room, where everyone is welcome to participate by reciting, listening, and/or contemplating.
Per Garchen Rinpoche’s guidance, DDSC continues to organize the 2nd Annual Kangyur Recitation for the dedication of:
- Good health and long life of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
- Good health and long life of all the Lineage Holders and all the Gurus of All Traditions.
- Well-being, peace and happiness in the world.
By contributing to the recitation of the Kangyur, you create a vast amount of merit and there is an immense purification of negative karma, especially to overcome many obstacles such as war, disease, and natural calamities as well as to offer dedications for those who have passed away.
When carrying out this effort with sincere motivation, unfavorable circumstances that bring problems can be changed. It is said that recitation prayers performed by ordained ones are particularly powerful and effective as they are done on the basis of pure morality.
- Donations are gratefully welcome.
- No one turned away for a lack of funds.

Drikung Kagyu Prayer Book, The Sutra of the Heart of the Glorious Lady Prajñāpāramitā (p. 36)
“Form is emptiness; emptiness also is form. Emptiness is no other than form; form is no other than emptiness. In the same way feeling, discrimination, formation, and consciousness are emptiness. Thus, Śāriputra, all phenomena are emptiness, without characteristics, without arising, without ceasing, without stain, not without stain, without decrease, and without increase…”

MANI RETREAT AND AVALOKITESHVARA EMPOWERMENT
Led by Drupon Tsering Rinpoche
Thursday May 12 – Sunday May 15, 2022
9am – 6pm EDT
Avalokiteshvara Empowerment – May 12 at 7pm EDT
The retreat will be held in person at Drikung Dharma Surya Center as well as virtually via Zoom. Everyone at Drikung Dharma Surya Center welcomes you to join this special event!
Venerable Drupon Tsering Rinpoche is the resident Lama of the Drikung Garchen Institute of the Drikung Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism located in Munich, Germany. His life has been devoted to the Dharma from a very young age. His profound and inspiring biography is found at the Drikung Garchen Institut e.V. Center for Buddhist Studies and Meditation webpage.
The Mani Retreat is centered on the boundless love, compassion, and wisdom of Avalokiteshvara, whose mantra is OM MANI PADME HUNG HRI.
When we recite OM MANI PADME HUNG with the mind to benefit all beings, we are engaging in a profound method that transforms our impure body, speech, and mind to a pure state of body, speech, and mind. Reciting each syllable of the Mani mantra with a mind of bodhicitta closes the doors to the six realms of samsara and frees sentient beings from suffering.
“The more Mani mantras we recite, the more love will increase in the minds of sentient beings, the more hatred will decrease. The minds of beings will become peaceful and happy, which will also help one’s country. If the minds of humans become peaceful and happy, then also the minds of spirits will become peaceful and happy. The Mani mantra practice is supreme in order to bring about peace and happiness.”
~ H.E. Garchen Rinpoche
Event Details
- The Mani Retreat will start each day at 9 AM and end at 6 PM EDT, with daily teachings and practices at the DDSC Shrine Hall.
