      <image:title>Wangchen Rinpoche</image:title>
      <image:caption>A Note from Venerable Wangchen Rinpoche: May there be good omens to everyone. I would like to start with prayers to my supreme Guru that this upcoming year, and endless years and lives to come, will bring none other than the auspicious good experiences of health, happiness, and spiritual fortune for all our sangha members and for all fellow sentient beings. Our center and our sangha group are playing an essential role in the growth of the Buddha Dharma in North America. From my own experience I can say that spreading the Dharma in America has not been an easy thing to do. Nevertheless, as a responsible spiritual person, I myself never gave up the task or the spiritual responsibility of helping to spread Buddha’s teachings in general, and Tibetan Buddhism in particular. After many years of sincere effort by my many enlightened masters, spiritual roots have taken place in American soil for the benefit of all humankind. For that I am truly happy. I would like to say that our path is the path of enlightened ones, and therefore our responsibility is to make sure we do whatever we can to not defile this noble path, and furthermore to try to bring as many people as possible into the path. I shall conclude with prayers of best wishes and inner peace and happiness for all. Yours,  W. Rinpoche</image:caption>

      <image:title>Wangchen Rinpoche - Early Life</image:title>
      <image:caption>His Holiness Dorje Chang Kalu Rinpoche publicly introduced Venerable Wangchen Rinpoche as “Kalu the Younger,” his meditation companion in Tibet, to an audience in Los Angeles in 1988. He said he had an auspicious dream from before Rinpoche was born. He spoke about the keen intelligence and deep compassion for other beings that Rinpoche demonstrated as a child. “Having seen what I have seen, having seen his devotion to Dharma, I have no doubt that he is a Tulku.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Wangchen Rinpoche - Bodhisattva Activities</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rinpoche’s spiritual integrity, moral and ethical principles are impeccable. His activities, which are none other than true Bodhisattva activities he carries out to fulfill the wishes of his guru, have included sponsoring a major ceremonial event: the Monlam in Bodhgaya, India, for three consecutive years. He has taken full responsibility for rebuilding Shangpa Monastery in Tibet, and his own and His Holiness Dorje Chang Kalu Rinpoche’s monasteries and nunneries in Kham, the eastern region of Tibet. In the summers of 2004 and 2005, we celebrated the grand opening of Began Monastery and its schools for higher Buddhist studies and the official opening of Gesar Monastery.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Nyungne - Nyungne</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nyungne (pronounced nyoonay) is a well known and long-cherished Buddhist purification practice that was begun by a famous, completely enlightened nun named Gelongma Palmo. She was born a princess and decided early in life to give up royalty and lead a purely spiritual life as a nun. Subsequently, she developed leprosy and was cast out by society. Through her practice of Nyungne and the great blessings of Chenrezig, she was able to overcome the disease and attain enlightenment. Beginning with Gelongma Palmo, the lineage comes down to the present day. Nyungne is a two day fasting practice with prayer, mantra recitation, and prostrations. The Eight Precepts Vow, or Mahayana Restoring and Purifying Ordination, is taken each morning. On the first day, only one vegetarian meal is eaten. On the second day, no food or drink is taken and everyone is silent. The practice ends early in the morning of the third day at which time the fast is broken. Everyone is welcome to participate in Nyungne practice as long as you take the Refuge and Eight Precepts vows and receive the empowerment to do the 1,000-Armed Chenrezig practice. The benefits of participating in this practice are enormous, and therefore everyone is strongly encouraged to attend as often as possible.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In this book, Wangchen Rinpoche has given clear and comprehensive instruction on how to undertake the Nyungne practice. Not only that, but by including stories of the great past masters who have undertaken the practice, accounts of the benefits it has brought, as well as auxiliary practices and recitations, he offers a wealth of backgound information that will serve as a rich source of knowledge and inspiration” — His Holiness The Dalai Lama “Detailed without being overbearing. . . . Clear in its approach and language. For anyone considering embarking on a Nyungne retreat, this book is recommended.” — The Elephant Journal</image:caption>
