 The Umdze is the one who leads the chanting, the one who begins

— Mingyur Rinpoche

What is the purpose of the this training?

Who is it for?

The course is completely free and open to anyone who feels inspired to learn and lead chanting—whether to benefit their own practice, support their local practice group, or both. 
The umdze does not need to be a professional singer. The true role of the umdze arises from the sincere motivation to sustain rhythm, clarity, and the energy of the sangha throughout the practice. More than a beautiful voice, what leads the ceremony is presence, attentive listening, and the intention to benefit all beings.

Have questions related to chanting?

Quarterly live sessions with the Osel Ling Umdze will be offered to support you and answer your questions related to chanting.
