Sipe Gyalmo Teaching and Initiation
June 29-30, 2024
8AM–12:30PM (Costa Rica Time)
In Person in Costa Rica and Online
The supreme emanation of the protector deity of Bön, Sipe Gyalmo, also blesses the practitioner with the power to heal. This healing power has been transmitted continuously through the ages, without interruption. Yeshe Walmo, who is an emanation of Sipe Gyalmo herself, has transmitted these very powerful healing practices to Bön teachers beginning thousands of years ago. The healing blessings continue to be received and powerfully expressed by our present-day Bön teachers who have received this transmission. H.E. Menri Ponlob Rinpoche received the transmission from His Holiness the 33rd Menri Trizen and H.E. Yongdzin Rinpoche. H.E. Menri Ponlob Rinpoche also holds the Yangton lineage for whom Sipe Gyalmo is the main protector.
Merely being present at Sipe Gyalmo healing rituals blesses one with the energy of healing. Receiving the transmission of the teaching allows students to cultivate their healing energies with the Sipe Gyalmo practice. With an open heart and diligent practice, one can bring the blessing of healing to oneself, family, and friends as well as to many people and animals throughout the world who need powerful healing.
You are warmly invited to join us for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to receive this powerful healing transmission handed down from one Bön teacher to the next for thousands of years.
