“Between the hermit meditating in the mountains and the sponsor who provides her sustenance
Is a connection that will lead them to enlightenment together: the heart of that connection is dedication of merit.” – Jetsun Milarepa
In a ‘drubchen’ prayer ceremony.
By making a donation of US$200, you will be included in the nuns’ annual eighteen drubchens – extensive group sādhanā ceremonies. Drubchens encapsulate the practice tradition of Gebchak. Each entails at least seven full days of ritual, meditation and recitation, all blending with yogic and creative elements to create a heightened, charged environment in which participants experience the presence of the sādhanā’s main buddhas (yidam).
Vajra Master, Ani Chemchok Palmo, leads the drubchen
Gebchak is the only gonpa today that maintains such an intensive schedule of drubchens. It has long been renowned for its expertise in these sādhanā; indeed, the Nangchen kings used to rely on Gebchak Gonpa to perform their long life ceremonies. Given the nuns’ sincerity, expertise and their life-long devotion to prayer, this makes a powerful connection between sponsors and these practitioners.
Online donations of US$200 for prayer dedications can be made below.
