Let's gather our practice accomplishments for the year
Rigpa Practice Team
The end of the Tibetan year is coming soon. This is the most important time in the year for each of us to offer our practice accumulations from the previous 12 months.
You might think your accumulations are small or insignificant, but when we pool them all together with thousands of others, we contribute to the precious and inspiring gathering of merit of the whole sangha. Every prayer and mantra counts!
As Khenpo Jigmé Phuntsok Rinpoche said:
“Just as in darkness a single lamp can only illuminate small space; while thousands of lamps joined together can dispel the darkness and light up the whole sky, in the same manner for a beginner of Buddha-dharma, the power of personal practice is too weak, only through the interdependence of joined power and blessing of the practice held by the sangha one can generate tremendous benefits with very little effort.”
At Losar, we will share the worldwide sangha’s annual practice accumulations with our advisory lamas, and we can all rejoice and dedicate the merit of our collective accomplishment.
By investing into the ‘bank of the buddhas’, we receive the merit of each single mantra and prayer submitted by any sangha member, every single one of us.
How can you share your accumulations?
Please include all your accumulations from the last 12 months and submit them before 20th February.
Go to the Rigpa accumulations website
Login with your Admin and Care login and password
Click on ‘Totals’ at the top of the page
Enter your accumulations
As you will see, the accumulation system allows you to keep track of all your lifetime accumulations as well as shows reports from special practice focuses of the sangha (under the ‘reports’ tab).
For those who have completed one or more nyenpa retreats:
This year we will also include in our offering all the nyenpas (tsa sum retreats) that have EVER been accomplished by the Rigpa Sangha. To help us gather this information please also update all your other study & practice accomplishments in the Admin & Care system, especially adding any nyenpa retreats that you have ever completed (not just in the last year):
Go to Admin and Care
Go to My account > Study & Practice and add your study and practice information
We look forward to sharing another year of study and practice across the worldwide Rigpa Community. 🙏🏼📿🧘🏽♂️
