"Drub" means Accomplishment and "chen" means Great, "Drubchen" means Great Accomplishment practice. It is a traditional form of meditation retreat in Tibetan Buddhism that lasts for about 7 or 10 days.
It involves a large number of monastic and lay practitioners and is led by at least one high lama. The Drubchen is regarded as a very powerful practice, and is said to act as a remedy to the negative forces at work in the world, and to promote inner peace, peace within the community and world peace. Full attendance at a Drubchen is said to produce the same benefit as practicing alone in solitary retreat for 7 years. The practice requires prayers and mantra to be recited by practitioners, taking turns, for 24 hours a day throughout the period of the Drubchen.
The Drubchen will start on the 9th September 2010 and ends on 17th September 2010. The Drubchen practice will be "The Anuyoga Offering Drubchen of Tsokchen Dupa". There will also be performances of Cham (mask dances) and other rituals related to the Drubchen. The Drubchen will conclude with the Nguedup Langwa (receiving of spiritual wisdom/power) in the morning 17th of September 2010.
Sponsorship of a drubchen creates an auspicious link with the practice and the lama to accrue great merit. Traditionally, in Bhutan and Tibet, individuals, families and even entire villages contributed to sacred rituals both as practitioners and through donations. Even if one is unable to attend the drubchen, the benefit is created.
