HH Sakya Trizin is giving a Tara Wang in MN next month. Don’t know if it will be streamed. Most are though.
Hi! Do you have a date and time? I know HH is doing a chime phakme empowerment, but I didn't hear abt White Tara!
Thanks
Rich
What, when where?! The Chime Phakme Nyingthik empowerment I mean. Is there a link?
EDIT: I'm dumb, it's on the previous page
Is this a Nyingthik cycle? (as in Dzogchen Nyingthik)
There are Dzogchen teachings connected with this cycle but I think they are mainly connected with the Vimalamitra Guru Sadhana. The Tara practice is considered Mahayoga, still it is a very amazing and doable sadhana with great blessings.

There are also this great book about this practice.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Chime Pakme Nyinthik is a terma and not really equivalent to the White Tara of Atisha's tradition.

There are two traditions of Tshe lha rnam gsum, and they are connected. There is the tradition from Bari, Marpa, and Maitriyogi, and then there is the tradition of Shri Singha, Padmasambhava, and Vimalamitra.

The former is the outer practice of the latter.
Thank you Malcolm. There are still a few things I don't know and that was one of them.

How can Chimé Pakme Nyingtik be conferred, as a Wang, Jenang?
Is it a Mahayoga Practice or Ati Maha?
If it is Mahayoga or Ati Maha it doesn't have the requirements of Kriya Tantra, right? I mean, it can be done if one has eated meat and so on...
For Kriya Tantra Practices, is it really ok to do it daily, like "first thing" in the morning, whithout having eated meat and other foods that are not persmissible in Kriya and Charya Tantras?

It is considered Mahayoga, as I already mentioned above. However it is a terma and there are Dzogchen teachings connected to this cycle. Also it is the three long-life deities of Shri Singha (Usnisavijaya), Vimalamitra (Tara) and Guru Rinpoche (Amitayus) practiced together. A really special long-life practice for Dzogchen practitioners.

It is considered Mahayoga,
It can be practiced in Anuyoga style as well. It may not not be evident from the sadhana, but it is pretty clear in the root text, which specifies two ways of arising: instantly or according to the five abhisambodhis. You don't need much of sadhana to practice in the Anuyoga style.

Yes, termas are often quite ambivalent about their categories.

Just received this email from The Sakya Institute for Buddhist Studies:
Khenpo Migmar is dedicating coming 3 month white Tara retreat for the long life of HH the Dalai Lama, HH Sakya Trichen and all other lamas for the longevity of Dharma for the benefit of all beings.
Six Light Dome White Tara empowerment on May 30th @ 7 pm Boston time is open to all.

Slightly off topic but I'm wondering where does Garchen Rinpoche's often conferred White Tara belong? Kriya, Carya or HYT?
I think it is HYT.
