Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche!

Pith Instructions on How to Practice Dzogchen,

the Great Perfection of the Ultimate Nature

by the Great Mahasiddha and Scholar Patrul Rinpoche

“The effortless, natural state of immediately present awareness—

Which transcends faults or good qualities to be dispelled or accomplished, abandoned or adopted—

Is the unfabricated and unchanging primordial wisdom of rigpa.

To remain stably within it is the union of view and meditation.”

During the 2022 Winter Dzogchen Retreat webcast live from Pema Ling Retreat Center in Jupiter, Florida, Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche will impart the heart essence of Dzogchen Pith Instructions according to the stainless wisdom lineage of the great master Patrul Rinpoche. These are direct pointing out instructions on how to discover enlightened awareness this very moment.

Patrul Rinpoche's root text “Pith Instructions on How to Practice Dzogchen, the Great Perfection of the Ultimate Nature” will be available to participants as a free download.

Patrul Rinpoche (1808-1887) was one of the greatest Tibetan teachers of his time. Famous for his precise and direct style, he lived the life of a wandering yogi monastic who renounced fame and power to devote his life to practice and guiding others along the path. He transmitted the Dharma in everything he did, skillfully teaching both simple nomads and great lamas with uncompromising authenticity.

Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche is a holder of the complete Buddhist Nyingma lineage of study and practice. He was enthroned by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche as a Nyingma Abbot. As an accomplished scholar and Vajrayana master, Rinpoche has an amazing ability to convey profound topics simply and directly, making the rich, vast ocean of Dharma accessible and easy to put into practice. (A more extensive biography of Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche can be found by clicking here.)

Registration is Required for everyone to access this webcast retreat.
