DRUBCHEN
Drub means Accomplishment and chen means Great, Drubchen means Great Accomplishment practice. It is a traditional form of meditation retreat in Tibetan Buddhism that lasts for about 7 or 10 days. It involves a large number of monastic and lay practitioners and is led by at least one high lama. Drubchen is regarded as a very powerful practice, and is said to act as a remedy to the negative forces at work in the world, and to promote inner peace, peace within the community and world peace. Full attendance at a Drubchen is said to produce the same benefit as practicing alone in solitary retreat for 7 years. The practice requires prayers and mantra to be recited by practitioners, taking turns, for 24 hours a day throughout the period of the Drubchen. This time, the Drubchen will start on the 8th Tibetan day (14th February 2008) and ends on the 15th day (21st February 2008), to be organized and prepared by 200 nuns on Druk Amitabha Mountain. The nuns will also be performing Cham (mask dances) and other rituals related to the Drubchen.
Funds permit, we intend to partly or fully sponsor the Drubchen.
