Konchog Chidu Drubchod 2026
We are delighted to announce that Tulku Dakpa Rinpoche will lead a Konchog Chidu drubchod retreat in Finland from February 20th to 26th, 2026.
Konchog Chidu is a precious and powerful Guru Rinpoche practice which encompasses the Three Roots. This year, we will devote ourselves to intense group practice in a retreat setting just after Losar, during the festive days of the Tibetan New Year.
Holding a retreat at the New Year offers an opportunity to reflect on the year that has gone by. If we had a great year, we recognize that this is a result of our own virtuous actions and a blessing of the Three Jewels and Three Roots. Thanking them for their kindness, we wish that the next year will be equally auspicious. If the year has been difficult, we wish that the difficulties will end, and that new good things happen in the next year.
We hope to have many of you joining us, practicing together to pacify all obstacles, obscurations and sicknesses, increase virtues, accumulate merit, and increase prosperity for all sentient beings.
To join, please register by using this link and send us a confirmation of payment by Fri February 6th. If you have any questions concerning the retreat or the payment, please contact us at [email protected].
Read on for more details about the retreat, including information about the teacher, the Konchog Chidu practice and registration.
The Konchog Chidu Drubchod Practice
Konchog Chidu, meaning “The Embodiment of the Precious Ones” is a very profound and wide cycle of teachings. In brief, it is a Guru Rinpoche practice which encompasses all the Three Roots – outer peaceful Padmasambhava as the Guru, inner wrathful Padmasambhava as the Yidam, and secret Padmasambhava in the form of Simhamukha as the Dakini, as well as a long life form of Padmasambhava. The terma was discovered by the terton Jatson Nyingpo, a reincarnation of Nyongben Tingzin Zangpo, a close student of Padmasambhava, who attained the rainbow body.
Padmasambhava says: If someone even just opens a book of this text, the surroundings become rich and peaceful, and all wars become reduced. If you have devotion and wish to practice this text, it has the power of giving you the attainment of a pure land, even to an animal. These blessings of this profound teaching have not diminished, and therefore receiving this teaching is more precious than finding a wish fulfilling jewel. Even if you have doubt about this dharma, or you think that it’s impossible to receive these blessings, your bad karma will be purified and you will enter the path of liberation.
The accumulation of merit is one of the most important parts of the path of enlightenment. There are many ways to accumulate merit. One of the highest ways is accumulation through the drubchod – “great accomplishment offering”. That means opening the mandalas of the yidam deities and pure gathering of samaya of all the Vajra brothers and sisters, practice of the generation and accomplishment stage with supreme motivation. On such a special occasion, the accumulation of merit multiplies immeasurably.
