SangNgak Chokor Ling is a center for Tibetan spirituality that brings the remarkable practices and power of Vajrayana into the flow of daily life. This path integrates the deeper goal of enlightenment—reaching the full potential of consciousness and open heart—with the practical needs of material living.

This tradition is not new; Since the entry of Buddhism into Tibet, there have been two distinct approaches and lineages of spiritual work. On the one hand, the great monastic lineages of India were established in the land of Snows, and literally thousands of institutions were built to house celibate monks and nuns. Here they lived in relative isolation from the turmoil of daily life. While this allowed a focus on spiritual practices, it also was a dichotomy, limiting the relationship of spirituality to common life experiences. As the Tibetan Buddhist traditions entered the Western mainstream, many teachers and potential students have been unable to bridge the gap between a cloistered Tibetan context and the vibrant, chaotic world of the modern West.

On the other hand, the siddha and tantric traditions of India, and the mendicant tradition of Taoism in China, also entered Tibet from the 8th century onwards. These approaches to yogic action in daily life came to be known as the way of the Naljorpa (yogi) or Ngakpa (mantra

In order to provide a full training in the householder, yogic traditions of the Ngakpa to Westerners, Tsewong Rinpoche and Lama Pema have developed a five year program. This step-by-step approach or "lam-rim", allows a progressive development of ritual skills and meditative practice. Each Level or module includes a spectrum of methods, that together forms a solid basis for daily practice. Once familiar with such a regimen, we begin to understand how it begins to merge and integrate with our everyday routine, enhancing and enriching the material, emotional and spiritual dimensions our lives.

Further modules build on each previous training, introducing more advanced and sophisticated "sacred technology", eventually providing a complete spectrum of tools for daily living. We can then draw on these as needed, with the ability to use whatever is appropriate to time, place, activities and life stages. At such a level, the student may also be able to teach and train others in the art of sacred living.

speaker), along with the corresponding terms of Naljorma (yogini) and Ngakma for female practitioners. This tradition teaches the the application of the profound truths and practices of Secret Mantra Path with all our actions and intentions of daily life. The constant difficulties and challenges we face then become an endless fuel for the brilliant fire of enlightened body, speech and mind. Such an approach is obviously well suited to our time, where demands of an engaged life make a monastic approach both impractical and thus meaningless. Additionally, this path is not limited by sexist, classist or other cultural foibles that were detrimental to the spiritual path, even in old Tibet.

While we go about our busy daily lives, filled with material objects, activities, goals and projects, there are many unseen forces that strongly determine our success, fulfillment and future happiness. These include internal causes, such as karma patterns, the fruition of our past actions, as well as the outer energetic forces. The effects of the earth and land, stellar forces, emotional imprints and the intersection of numerous spiritual influences, have a tremendous impact on our lives. Traditionally, Tibetan lamas were called upon to perform special rituals, a kind of "technology of the sacred", in order to eliminate negative conditions and enrich and purify the environment and its inhabitants with positive forces. Such rituals can enhance our health, wealth, relationships and all aspects of our personal path and life journey of development and transformation. Tsewong Rinpoche and Lama Pema are pioneering the use of these extraordinary methods in the West., assisted by the Western ngakpa, Lama Jinpa.

The benefits of these rituals includes;

• Enhancing health, healing, well-being, and clearing obstacles to physical health and full vitality.
• Enriching our material lives and overcoming obstacles to success, wealth energy and fulfilment.
• Purifying all accumulated negative energies and conditions due to emotional imprints, karmic stains or ill will of others.
• Overcoming life obstacles that create emotional pain, disruption, conflict and blockages of all kinds.
• Clearing spiritual blockages such as those caused by negative entities, ghosts and karmic retribution.
