The 17th Annual Amitabha Dechen Shingdrup with the Venerable Khenpo Karten Rinpoche will be held over two weekends in late August in Portland, Oregon, 2024.  The annual event is hosted by the Northwest Tibetan Cultural Association in Portland, Oregon. The event is held in Tibetan and there will not be an English translator, but all are welcome to join and enjoy the special energy of the practice of Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light.

Here’s a copy of the Sadhana ‘Dechen Shingdrup’

The detailed schedule is below in English and Tibetan.  Rinpoche is encouraging participation from his western students for the second/closing weekend, and we started a “google doc” to encourage carpooling and to help with travel coordination.   Attendees will be responsible for their own transportation and accommodations, but the Portland sangha is offering to pick folks up from the airport.
