Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche trained as a Geshe in the Bon Buddhist tradition of Tibet. He lives in the United States, where he founded Ligmincha International, and has been giving seminars in the Netherlands for over 25 years. He also teaches extensively online. His teaching style resonates with our Western mindset, with many recognizable examples that connect with our everyday reality.
For the previous three years, 2022 through 2024, Rinpoche taught Dzogchen in the Six Lamps.
This year he will teach "The Heartdrops of Dharmakaya."
Everyone is welcome to attend this seminar, regardless of meditation experience or tradition.
Heartdrops of Dharmakaya is a very concise yet comprehensive text on Dzogchen. The text was written by Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen, a great Bonpo teacher and yogi who realized the rainbow body in 1934. The Heartdrops can be read as a step-by-step guide to practicing Dzogchen meditation. It is a personal instruction from Shardza to his students. Despite its modern nature, it is not a do-it-yourself manual. For proper understanding, it is necessary to receive direct instruction and transmission from a qualified teacher. The text includes, among other things, special preparatory exercises for Dzogchen (Rushen), followed by an introduction to the natural state and instructions for the practice of Trekchö and Tögel. Because this text encompasses all aspects of the Dzogchen teachings, it is particularly suitable for both beginning and experienced practitioners. In the Tibetan Bon and Nyingma traditions, Dzogchen is considered the ultimate form of meditation practice.
This seminar is open to anyone who wants to learn to live from openness and clarity.
