Ch\u00f6d is traditionally performed with a <\/span><b>bell (drilbu), damaru drum, and kangling trumpet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but you are very welcome to join even if you do not have instruments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the online practice we follow a <\/span><b>video of Umtse Lama Nono from our monastery in Nepal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which makes it easier to keep the rhythm and melody, especially for those playing the damaru. The video includes <\/span><b>Tibetan script, phonetic transcription, and visualization guidance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In some places within the liturgy, verses are repeated two or three times\u2014such as the supplication to the lama, the refuge prayer, or occasionally the final line of a section\u2014to fit the traditional melody.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ch\u00f6d is a <\/span><b>Vajrayana practice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that usually involves certain commitments and transmissions. However, <\/span><b>Ch\u00f6kyi Nyima Rinpoche has kindly given permission for anyone, including beginners, to attend and experience the practice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For those who wish to practice more seriously over time, it is recommended to receive the usual Vajrayana requirements when possible, such as <\/span><b>refuge vows, bodhicitta vows, reading transmission, empowerment (for example Thrinley Nyingpo or another Barchey K\u00fcnsel deity), teachings, and pith instructions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>You can join the practice online here:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/l\/meetup-join\/19%3af46fd89a05b04f73ac55976e0e340ef3%40thread.tacv2\/1630247382195?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22a99281ef-38df-4468-a87d-fc779e4ddb3b%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22f7f9c3ca-b487-4f9d-bdff-12a0a8b8baef%22%7d\">Teams Meeting<\/a><br \/>\n<b>In person:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you would like to attend <\/span><b>in person at Gomde<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, please send an email to <\/span><b>mail@gomde.eu<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so we can confirm whether the practice will take place at Gomde on that day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We look forward to practicing with you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone is warmly invited to join our weekly Ch\u00f6d practice, which takes place every Tuesday.
