In a deep meditative state, Tsewang Rigzin received the special teaching about soul healing. It was transmitted to him by the dakini, Yum Chen Thuk Je Kundrol. The teaching itself was identified as Tse Du Jha Ri Ma, which is composed of the long life empowerment rituals, soul retrieval, and life force retrieval. The related Long Life rituals help to facilitate healing and bring harmony. Chaphur Rinpoche will discuss this ritual with the aim of enabling the participants to understand how to achieve a long life and to heal the connection between body and soul.
