Dear Dao Bums, Sakya Trichen Rinpoche is coming to Europe this June, and I'm considering meeting him. During his visit he will be giving an empowerment or initiation into a tantric buddhist practice. It's called "Indestructible Wakefulness" or "Chimé Pagme Nyingtik". I tried to look up online what it's about, and it's a White Tara longevity practice. I've long wanted to practice and experience Tibetan Buddhism in a more profound way (my only prior experience is basic level tummo, karmamudra and lucid dreaming using a mix of buddhist and bön dream yoga). Do we have any long term practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism who can weigh in with some experiences and comments: 1) Any insights, experiences or comments about the Sakya lineage? 2) Any insights, experiences or comments about Sakya Trichen Rinpoche? 3) Any insights, experiences or comments about White Tara Practice? (in general or this specific pratice), 4) What can I expect from this one-day empowerment? (experiences appreciated)

Crises bring out the best and worst in humanity. It’s good too see the wide scale sharing of practices from all traditions in response to the pandemic. You can’t practise them all, but for anyone attracted to Tara there is a live online event this Sunday (22nd March) dedicated to the recitation of the mantra of her 20th form, Tara Ritro Loma Gyonma, Noble Lady of Mountain Retreat, Clothed in Leaves, Who Removes Contagious Diseases.
