In Person at Pure Land Farms & Online
The Yuthok Nyingthig Outer Guru Yoga practice, also known as the 'Wish Fulfilling Jewel' is the first of four Guru Yogas in the Yuthok Nyingthig tradition and is a powerful practice for creating a direct link with the blessings of Yuthok in one's own life and practice.
Join us on this Guru Day (the 10th day of every lunar month) for instruction and group practice followed by a Ganapuja (feast) offering.
Please bring an offering of food, drink or flowers for the practice.

If the supreme teaching of the Guru Sadhana Dharma Cycle of of the Yuthok Nyingthig did not have the blessing of simultaneous practice and accomplishment, then the people of this degenerate age, entangled in worldly desire and weak in determination for long retreats, would not be able to practice.
However, if this, the accomplishment of my life-force itself, is practiced without distraction by a faithful person for seven days, then I vow that I shall reveal well my face to them, and I shall grant them teachings and closely instruct them.
- Yuthok Yönten Gönpo, 12th Century
