A Rare Transmission from His Holiness, the 34th sMenri Trizin
Receive the profound teachings of Phurpa at sMenri Monastery. An extraordinary opportunity to connect directly with the living Bön lineage.
Phurpa, symbolized by the sacred ritual dagger, is one of the five supreme deities of the Bön Tantric (Ngag) tradition. It embodies the enlightened force that cuts through ignorance, aggression, negativity, and the deep-rooted afflictive emotions that obstruct the path to realization.
This is not simply a practice. It is a profound method of transformation.
Through Phurpa, practitioners are offered protection, inner strength, and the wisdom to overcome both visible and unseen obstacles. It is a path that directly engages the forces that keep us bound, guiding us toward liberation from the cyclic world with clarity and power.
To receive this empowerment and transmission from His Holiness, the 34ths sMenri Trizin is an exceptionally rare and precious opportunity and one that few have the chance to encounter in their lifetime.
With great care and depth, His Holiness will guide practitioners into the essence of Phurpa as a yidam, revealing how to embody its enlightened qualities within body, speech, and mind, extending into one’s actions and lived experience. This is a transmission that goes beyond intellectual understanding; it is meant to be received, experienced, and integrated into one’s path.
Participants will encounter the fierce yet deeply compassionate energy of Phurpa, an awakened force that both protects and liberates, supporting practitioners in cutting through obstacles and awakening their true nature.
His Holiness, the 34th sMenri Trizin, holder of the Yungdrung Bön lineage will personally guide practitioners through the profound teachings of Phurpa as a yidam. To receive teachings directly from His Holiness is an exceptionally rare and precious opportunity, offering an authentic and unbroken connection to the living lineage.
These teachings will be translated by Latri Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche, whose deep understanding, clarity, and devotion to the texts ensure that the essence of the teachings is conveyed with both accuracy and heart. Together, this creates a powerful bridge, preserving the integrity of the lineage while making the teachings accessible to students.
Through this sacred transmission, practitioners will be guided in how to integrate the enlightened qualities of Phurpa into body, speech, mind, qualities, and actions.
Participants will experience the fierce yet compassionate energy of Phurpa. An awakened force that cuts through obstacles and supports the path to spiritual awakening.
We invite you to join us in person for an extraordinary experience at sMenri Monastery, where you will walk through halls that have been blessed by countless Bön masters and devoted practitioners over generations.
We will also visit Redna Ling Nunnery, where we will receive further blessings from the GesheMas and the dedicated nuns who continue these sacred teachings.
And we will experience the radiant joy and heartfelt smiles of the children at the Bon Children’s Home—an experience that touches the heart in a way words cannot fully express.
There will be many more meaningful experiences during our stay. Latri Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche always includes special opportunities for students to enjoy, connect, and deepen their understanding.
We will also support students who wish to focus on a specific practice by helping them connect with a monk during their time at sMenri Monastery, creating an even fuller and more personal experience.
This has always been such a powerful experience, and the feeling stays with you long after you return home.
But if you are not able to come, we completely understand. We will offer Zoom participation so you can still be part of this special time. We know the time difference can be challenging, so recordings will be sent out the same day. This teaching will be automatically sent to our YouTube channel for our students to be able to watch while we are sleeping.
While we are sleeping, you can watch this special Phurpa teachings and email us with any questions you may have—we will be happy to present them in person on your behalf.
In alignment with the sacred texts of Yungdrung Bön, empowerment and transmission are traditionally given from master to student in person. For this reason, these will be offered only to those attending in person.
We truly encourage you to consider joining us in person for this rare and extraordinary opportunity. Teachings and transmissions of this depth, offered directly by His Holiness, are not often available and carry a profound impact that stays with you long after the experience.
If you feel even a quiet calling to be there, we invite you to listen. Please reach out to Yeru Bön Center—we are here to support you in making this meaningful journey possible.
This journey is more than travel…
It is a pilgrimage, a return to the source of the teachings.
To sit in the presence of His Holiness…
To receive the Phurpa empowerment…
To be held within the sacred energy of sMenri Monastery…
These are moments that stay with us for a lifetime
