SUMMARY:Rabney Chenmo Consecration Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 3-day Rabney Chenmo ceremony to consecrate the newly arrived 7-foot statue of His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche\, and to renew the blessings of all spiritual monuments in the Tsem Rinpoche Relic Temple and Kechara Forest Retreat. \nRabney Chenmo means great consecration puja. It is an elaborate ceremony involving numerous sensory offerings\, torma ritual cakes\, multiple fire pujas\, traditional mirror\, and various other implements. \nBased on the Solitary Hero Yamantaka practice\, this complex ritual forges a powerful connection with the wisdom energies of Tsem Rinpoche\, the lineage lamas\, Buddhas\, bodhisattvas\, arhats\, Dharma Protectors\, dakas and dakinis through the power of mantra\, concentration\, visualisation and offerings. \nUpon completion of the consecration ceremony\, the blessings of these enlightened beings are sealed — in not just the Statue and Stupas\, but also in the immediate surroundings so that all who pass by receive tremendous blessings and purification. \n  \nEvent Details\n\nSep 15 – 17\, 2023 (Fri – Sun)\nKechara Forest Retreat\nFree.

Tsem Rinpoche entered parinirvana on September 4\, 2019\, we were advised to create a smiling image of our lama in traditional style and iconography. \nThe project began in early 2020 but had to be paused due to global lockdowns. After 3 years of patiently waiting for travel bans to lift\, the team was finally able to work closely with a master sculptor to put the finishing touches on Rinpoche’s 7ft statue. We’re extremely fortunate that the artist has a special connection with Rinpoche\, and it comes through in his work. \nA tribute to Rinpoche’s great compassion\, our lama’s statue arrived in Kechara Forest Retreat on July 26\, 2023. Ahead of the consecration ceremony\, it will be filled with many small Buddha images made from Rinpoche’s holy relics and many other sacred items. \nH.E. Tsem Rinpoche’s 7ft statue arrived in Kechara Forest Retreat on July 26\, 2023.\n
