Topa Institute invites you to join us as we welcome the Venerable Bhakha Tulku Rinpoche for two days of profound spiritual practice. Events are donation based and open to the public. No prior knowledge required to participate.
Thangtong Gyalpo Empowerment: Sat, October 25, 2025, 1:30 PM (Suggested donation - $25)
Thangtong Gyalpo, the great Tibetan Mahasiddha (1361-1465) was revered for his realization, miraculous healing abilities, and unwavering service to sentient beings. He achieved a long life of 125 years. This empowerment bestows blessings for longevity and healing, and will activate spiritual qualities to awaken Buddha Nature.
Riwo Sang Chod Fire Ceremony: Sun, October 26, 2025, 11:00 am (Suggested donation - $10)
This special fire ceremony purifies the environment and practitioners, removing negative karma and obstacles, and strengthens and awakens our spiritual awareness.
Participants, please bring fire offerings such as sage, juniper, incense, medicinal herbs, dried fruit, etc.
Topa Institute extends its profound gratitude to Vairotsana Foundation, for offering us the opportunity to host The Venerable Bhakha Tulku Rinpoche. Vairotsana Foundation established in 1996 as a 501(c)(3) under the spiritual guidance of the Venerable Bhakha Tulku Rinpoche, preserves and transmits the spiritual teachings of the Nyingma Tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism.
