I recommend to all my students to study and contemplate the 37 Practices of the Bodhisattvas with special diligence. This text is my representative. This is a heart advice that I give to my students. If you can bring your conduct in accordance with the 37 Practices of the Bodhisattvas and never deviate from it, it would bring an immence benefit to yourself and all sentient beings. His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche
According to Garchen Rinpoche’s instructions our Center pays special attention to study and contemplation of the 37 Practices of the Bodhisattvas. Study, discussions and meditations are based on Rinpoche’s commentaries and on the wish of all participants to integrate these teachings into their daily life.
Also according to Rinpoche’s wish our Center holds practices of White Tara and Lama Chopa (Guru Yoga of Lord Jikten Sumgon) every month. These are the main group practices of the Center.
White Tara and Lama Chopa practices are open for all regardless of practice experience. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Teachings and transmissions of other Drikung Kagyu practices also take place in our Center. The Excellent Stream of the Elixir of Immortality
Long life prayer for H.E. Garchen Rinpoche  His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche – is a founder and spiritual director of the Center OM SOTI!
Unchanging great bliss, dharmakaya,
Unobstructed skill, samboghakaya,
Dance of objectless compassion, nirmanakaya,
Protect me lord of the undivided three kayas!
In the center of a white lotus, complete with the sixteen aspects,
White as the autumn moon, holding an utpala flower,
Protecting from the eight fears, mother of the buddhas of the three times,
Wishfulfilling Cakra , bestow immortal life!
In the holy land you were known as Aryadeva,
In Dokham you manifested in the Gar family,
Chodingpa, Heartson of Jigten Gonpo,
Glorious Garchen, for a hundred eons may your life remain firm!
Full moon, ornamenting the doctrine of the Three Jewels,
In the cave of the eastern mountain you attained sublimity,
And yet you stay as a kumuda in the cool rays of a low seat,
Garchen, moon of benefiting others, may your life remain firm!
Leaving aside the winds of food, clothing and talk,
Wearing the armor of learning, virtue and nobility,
Your three samadhis firm as the ocean-waters,
Garchen, light of certain meaning, may your life remain firm!
In this degenerate time, when the doctrine of the victorious ones is feeble,
Through your vajra-like discipline,
You carry the heavy burden of the unbiased teaching,
Garchen, sun of the doctrine, may your life remain firm!
Although the three secrets of a lama possessing blessing,
Cannot be assaulted by the obstructions of demons,
Yet according to the nature of dependent origination,
This wishfulfilling prayer is marvelous.
Through the blessing of Mahakala and Chöki Drölma,
May this pure prayer, made with a pure heart,
Be accomplished according to its meaning, spontaneously and without obstacles!
