Olmo Ling Retreat and Teaching Schedule

In this extended summer Dzogchen series, brothers Tempa Dukte Lama and Geshe Tsewang Ngodup Rinpoche will give detailed teachings and practice instructions on the view and practice of Dzogchen according to the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud lineage of Bon.

Tempa Dukte Lama and Geshe Tsewang Ngodup Rinpoche will explain the heart essence of the Dzogchen view according to Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud. The reason why we have to understand the Dzogchen view first before engaging in practice is that the view is like a palace.

Tempa Dukte Lama and Geshe Tsewang Ngodup Rinpoche will explain the heart essence of Todgal with the practice of the Six Lamps. The main practice of Dzogchen consists of Todgal and Trek Chod. Todgal is the development of vision practice in Dzogchen. Through Todgal practice with the Six Lamps, we first point out where intrinsic awareness abides. Second, we clarify which path intrinsic awareness follows and through which door it exits. Finally, we point out in what form intrinsic awareness appears.

Tempa Dukte Lama and Geshe Tsewang Ngodup Rinpoche will explain the heart essence of pure awareness according to the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud Dzogchen transmission. Through this instruction the pure, intrinsic awareness is pointed out with the practice of the eightfold quintessential instructions.

Tempa Dukte Lama and Geshe Tsewang Ngodup Rinpoche will point out the ultimate essence of the natural state through the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud practice of the Twenty-one Nails.
