Since Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche advised practising this tsog as one of the main practices to be done during the 49-day period following Yongdzin Rinpoche’s entering thugdam on 12th June, 2025, we are now releasing this practice in both eBook and printed public formats, making it available to devoted practitioners who have not yet received transmission so that everyone can do it during this period.
