Olmo Ling Retreat and Teaching Schedule

In this first weekend teaching in the Olmo Ling series on death and dying, Tempa Lama will introduce the Bon teachings on death and dying and teach the practice of Ngo Trod or conscious dying.

The Four Verses of Bon describe the view of the ancient Tibetan Bon tradition. These four verses – also known as Four Wheels – express the heart essence of each of the three Bon Paths of Liberation: the Path of Sutra or liberation through renunciation, the Path of Tantra or liberation through transformation, and the Path of Dzogchen or attaining Buddhahood through allowing all phenomena the space to self-liberate.

His Holiness the 34th Gyalwa Menri Trizin Rinpoche, spiritual head of the Tibetan Bon tradition, will offer a special teaching and transmission on the heart essence of the Tse Drup Longevity Practice.

His Holiness will bestow the Tse Drup Longevity Empowerment of the Tibetan Bon tradition. This empowerment is a precious opportunity to receive the blessings of this profound practice and the blessings of the long life deity Tsewang Rigdzin. At the same time, it is a special opportunity to deepen our connection with His Holiness, world-wide spiritual head of the Tibetan Bon tradition.
