Cundi Drubchen 2025
18 to 20 October 2025
Cundi Drubchen 2025 Soft Launch Registration
What’s special this year?
This year, the annual Cundi event takes on a brand new name, the Cundi Drubchen Retreat, to reflect a whole new approach and experience for all of us practitioner participants.
The Tibetan word Drubchen conveys the meaning of a grand prayer practice for a deity, which in our case refers to Arya Cundi. The Cundi Drubchen Retreat thus means the grand prayer practice retreat of Arya Cundi.
Prayer sessions commence in an overlapping relay manner so that the Cundi mantra is recited non-stop throughout the entire period. This is the chance for us to take a break from our daily routines and reserve the three days and two nights to connect with our divine nature. The word retreat Practitioners will be assigned multiple prayer sessions each day and night, along with assigned break time in between to allow free time for meals, rest, and other activities we choose.
To amply prepare us for Cundi Drubchen Retreat, we will also request for special tantric teachings given by Singha Rinpoche, held before the retreat. These will be reserved for participants only.
Cundi Drubchen offers the Cundi practitioners who have received initiation and are doing daily practice, the chance to deepen and refresh our spiritual journey in the consecrated mandala of Arya Cundi. Surrounded by fellow vajra brothers and sisters, we also strengthen our connections, and provide mutual encouragement and inspiration just by practicing together. For the aspiring serious practitioner, this is also like a bridging step towards full Cundi closed retreat in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
With all intense deity practices, it is most beneficial to offer a fire puja at its conclusion to purify any negativities accumulated such as from mistakes in practice and so on. As such participants are included in the Cundi fire puja to be held in the evening of completion of the Cundi Drubchen, which shall also be open to the public so as to be able to benefit as many as possible.

Introduction
Shine brightly by connecting with Lhamo Cundi through this sublime spiritual experience; gain abundant merits and dispel immense inauspiciousness!
As advised by H.E. Jhado Rinpoche, Lhamo Cundi is the patron deity of Thekchen Choling. He has especially transmitted the esoteric lineage of Lhamo Cundi to our Spiritual Director Singha Rinpoche, thus establishing a direct connection between our temple and Cundi practice.
During the Cundi Drubchen Retreat, we make strong supplications to Cundi as a group. Throughout the entire prayer retreat lasting three days and two nights, Lhamo Cundi’s short mantra “Om Tsale Tsule Cundi Svaha” will be chanted continuously. Practicing collectively like this greatly magnifies our efforts, bestowing multitudes of blessings and benefits. Through this powerful retreat, we pray for the happiness of all sentient beings, long and stable lives of our Lineage Gurus, as well as the quick fruition of all our virtuous wishes and that of our sponsors’ and devotees’.
Set aside three days and two nights from your daily life and come join us in the prayer retreat—for those who cultivate a strong link with her, through effective practice she will lead us all the way to enlightenment.

BENEFITS OF THIS CUNDI DRUBCHEN RETREAT
Cundi has been highly revered since ancient times for her powerful blessings in granting spiritual and worldly successes. Hence, one may request Cundi to gain Dharma realizations, growth in businesses or personal careers, having a harmonious family, or having good interpersonal relationships through making offerings and supplicating to Cundi in this ceremony.
Through sincere cultivation with Arya Cundi, we can purify mountains of negative karma, including karma accumulated from our broken vows.

Also, Cundi protects us from life obstacles caused by non-human entities and is able to transform all adverse conditions into auspicious ones.
