Dudjom Tersar Empowerments
EIGHT VERSES FOR TRAINING THE MIND
BY LANGRI THANGPA (1054-1123)
SUNDAY
Wishing to attain enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings who excel even a Wish-fulfilling Jewel, may I constantly cherish them all. MONDAY
Whenever I am with others, may I consider myself the least important, and, from the depth of my heart, cherish them all and hold them supreme. TUESDAY
In all activities, may I examine my mind, and as soon as an conflicting emotions arise, endangering myself and others, may I firmly face and avert them. WEDNESDAY
Whenever I see an evil being, overwhelmed by intense negativity and suffering, may I cherish him as something rare, as if I’d chanced upon some priceless treasure. THURSDAY
When others, out of envy, mistreat me with slander and abuse, may I take defeat upon myself and offer the triumph to them. FRIDAY
When someone whom I’ve helped with much hope and expectation hurts me, deeply and unjustifiably, may I regard him as my sublime master. SATURDAY
In short, may I, directly and indirectly, offer happiness and peace to all my mothers; all their evil and suffering may I secretly take upon myself. EVERYDAY
In all this, may my mind be unstained by the eight ordinary concerns and know all things to be illusion: free of clinging, may I release all beings from bondage. The above verses may be repeated and contemplated daily, with a new verse for each day of the week, and the “everyday” verse repeated after the verse for the day.

Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche
We would like to share the joyful news that Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche, a senior lama in the Dudjom Tradition and direct disciple of H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, will return to Orgyen Dorje Den in September 2024 to confer empowerments and reading transmissions of this Dudjom lineage.
In an age when it is difficult to find lamas qualified to give empowerment, we are very fortunate to have this opportunity!
