with Dolpo Tulku Rinpoche
During this retreat Dolpo Tulku Rinpoche will explain the practice of Riwo Sangchö (smoke offering) in greater detail. Riwo Sangchö or literally “mountain smoke offering,” is a famous practice of sang offering revealed by the great yogi and tertön (treasure finder) Lhatsün Namkha Jikmé (1597-1653 )who was an incarnation of both Vimalamitra and Longchenpa. There are many different sang offering practices, however in the 1970s Dudjom Rinpoche arranged the original practice of Riwo Sangchö into a shortened version for daily practice, which is practiced once a week by Dolpo Tulku Rinpoche’s Sangha online. Riwo Sangchö embodies the view of Dzogchen (the great perfection) and in its essence belongs to transcendental generosity within the Buddhist context. The Tibetan term “Sangchö” consists of two words, sang and chö. Sang means to purify, and in this context it is to purify the result of our actions committed through harmful states of mind, as well as the pollution of the environment that attacks our health.
Purification takes place on three levels:
- On the outer level, to balance the five elements.
- On the inner level, to take care of our nadis, chakras, winds and essential fluids.
- On the secret level, to strengthen our rigpa, our pure awareness.
The second word chö means to offer. We place the purifying substances in the fire and offer the smell of the smoke that is created. The motivation for practicing the Riwo Sangchö smoke offering should include the intention to tame our mind in order to be able to help all sentient beings in the best possible way.
