A ngakpa's activity

Rinpoche is a ngakpa: a householder yogin of the Ngakpa order, ordained as a Ngakpa Lama in 1993 and given the title Ngakchang, "holder, wielder, and transmitter of mantric power". Beside teaching, a ngakpa performs ceremonies and practices for the benefit of others. You can ask Rinpoche to perform a ceremony or a practice for yourself, or for someone you love.

For those practitioners who wish to follow the profound path of the ngakpa/ngakmo, this inseparable unity of the secret, inner and outer five elemental energies creates the ground for manifesting benefit for their mother sentient beings (e.g. weather modification, dur healing ceremonies, phowa for the deceased - in both hospice and remote settings).
— Rinpoche, Upadesha I

How it works

  1. Send your request below: what you ask for, for whom, and anything Rinpoche should know.
  2. Rinpoche, or the center on his behalf, writes back to you to arrange it, and the offering that goes with it.
  3. Rinpoche performs the ceremony or practice and dedicates its merit.

What you write here goes only to the people who look after Do Ngak Dzong for Rinpoche, and no further. See the privacy policy.

Request a ceremony or practice

Every field is needed unless it says "if".
