LIGMINCHA MEXICO invites you to the Teaching
The Five Wisdoms ~ How to bring spiritual practice into our daily lives.
In-person and online retreat with GESHE TENZIN WANGYAL RINPOCHE
Great Stupa Bön for World Peace
March 22-26, 2023
*With Spanish translation. *
Many ancient Tibetan traditions describe wisdom as having five characteristics. The Yungdrung Bön tradition refers to these five as the wisdom of emptiness, mirror-like wisdom, the wisdom of equanimity, discriminating wisdom, and all-accomplishing wisdom.
When the mind is free of the five disturbing emotions-ignorance, anger, pride, attachment/desire, and jealousy-the natural mind arises spontaneously as the five wisdoms.
Rinpoche will clearly, vividly and skillfully guide us to recognize what obscures our true nature to help us access these spontaneously arising wisdoms in our daily lives.
Join us in person or online to receive the medicine of these teachings, take them to heart and discover our ability to transform confusion into wisdom.

Event Details
Topic: The Six Lamps, Part 2
In May 2022 Rinpoche taught from the Dzogchen teachings the Six Lamps and he started with the First Lamp. He will continue this teaching in this seminar.
The source of these teachings is Tapihritsa who manifested himself in the expanse of the sky and transmitted teachings to Gyerpung Nangzher Lodpo, probably sometime at the turn of the 7th and 8th centuries AD. The ‘lamps’ in the title, one by one illuminate different key points of Dzogchen.
The Six Lamps is one of the four important texts in the tradition of the oral transmission of the Zhang Zhung. At the core of the dzogchen teachings is the view that all sentient beings are primordially pure, perfected, and have the potential to spontaneously manifest in a beneficial way. This capacity is within each and every one of us. It is our nature, yet we often find ourselves alienated and disconnected from ourselves and others as we rush about in our day-to-day lives. If we are willing to directly and nakedly encounter the experiences of our ordinary life, however challenging they may be, these experiences become the doorway to realizing our true nature, the doorway to inner refuge.
These teachings permit you to engage in the practice of meditation and reflection, to look intimately within and discover the jewel that is hidden in your ordinary experiences. Explore how to honor and respect the three doors of body, speech, and mind, and to recognize the opportunities for healing that life presents. Discover the inner refuge and the gifts of spaciousness, awareness, and warmth that can bring healing and benefit not only to you, but also to your relationships with others and the greater world.
This seminar is open to anyone who wants to learn to live from openness and clarity.
Lecture: Friday evening May 5 from 20.00 – 21.30
Lessons: Saturday May 6 and Sunday May 7 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Venue: Posthoornkerk, Amsterdam,
Haarlemmerstraat 124-126

COURSE
The Three Heart Mantras
with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
The Three Heart Mantras are used in many different meditations in the Bön tradition and play a major role in the ngöndro practices. They are said to be the essence of enlightenment in sound and energy, and as we sing or chant the mantras our awareness is transformed to be in union with the Buddhas. They are used for purification, protection and as primary practices toward self-realization.
It is said that creating these mantras in any form brings merit and purification, so they are commonly found carved into stones, printed on prayer flags where they spread their benefits through the winds, and even drawn with gold ink and kept on shrines as an object of reverence and meditation. Their blessings are said to be endless. Also within this course Tenzin Rinpoche explains the essence of the Guru Yoga, Refuge and Bodhicitta practices, making this an excellent introduction to the tradition.
Lourdes Hinojosa will be the mentor for this course.

COURSE
Meditation, Breath and Movement: External, Internal and Secret Tsa Lung
with Alejandro Chaoul-Reich
Location: ligminchalearning.com
Tsa lung is a series of ancient yogic practices that brings balance and harmony to our physical body, energy and mind. The term tsa lung can be translated as the energy-winds (Tibetan: lung, Skt. prana, Chinese, qi) in the Channels, for these practices are designed to open the subtle channels, guiding the healthy flow of the energy-winds so that we can enjoy good health and reconnect with more calmness to a quiet, peaceful mind. These exercises are easy to perform and are suitable for everyone.
There are three levels of tsa lung practice: external, internal and secret. External tsa lung works primarily on the physical level, using simple movements and breath exercises to balance the energies within our body. Internal tsa lung works more at the level of breath and subtle energy, bringing our attention to opening the five chakras and the central channel. Secret tsa lung uses subtle visualizations within the chakras and central channel to bring harmony to the mind, so that we can rest in our inner refuge, nature of mind. All of the tsa lung exercises integrate and balance the five elements within: earth, water, fire, wind and space.
These practices are drawn from the Bön Mother Tantra (Tibetan: Ma Gyud) the highest tantra in our tradition. They are a beautiful complement to any meditation practice, and particularly to dzogchen. They are frequently performed at the beginning of a session so that meditation is deeper and more stable. External tsa lung is commonly performed in all Ligmincha centers and groups.

COURSE
Ngöndro: The Foundational Practices
with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
The ngöndro teachings are a set of nine practices that offer complete instructions for taming, purifying, and perfecting the suffering mind. Although these practices are considered the foundation for entrance into the five-part cycle of Tibetan Bön dzogchen teachings – Bön’s highest teachings on the nature of mind – many practitioners adopt the ngöndro as their main meditation and complete the nine sets of 100,000 repetitions over the course of a lifetime. Within each is contained the entire path to liberation. They are considered to be the foundational practices for the entire tradition.
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche rarely teaches the ngöndro, and recommends it for dedicated practitioners who feel a strong connection to the Bön lineage. Within the ngöndro are found practices that are used within many other practices, such as the Guru Yoga Prayer, Bodhicitta Prayer, Refuge Prayer, Prostrations, and the Three Heart Mantras, so the ngöndro supports and deepens all other meditation practices.
Participation in a ngöndro retreat or this online course is a prerequisite for continuing the Experiential Transmission of Zhang Zhung series. Tenzin Rinpoche will offer Part 2 of the series in December 2021.
Rob Patzig will be the mentor for this course.
This course is ongoing through December. Registration continues to be open after the start date.

COURSE
Sleep Yoga: The Yoga of Clear Light
with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
We spend one-third of our life in sleep, yet for most people sleep is a period of unconsciousness. Through the practices of the Yoga of Clear Light we can learn to be completely aware during our sleep, open, clear, resting in deep meditative presence. But how do we get from our current stress and disrupted sleep patterns to the state of clear light?
This course will introduce simple techniques to enter into sleep in a healthy, balanced way. Even if we do not consistently enter into clear light sleep, we can benefit from a refreshing, relaxed sleep that gives us deep renewal. This is supported by breathing techniques, physical postures and guided visualizations. Tenzin Rinpoche will also provide a meditation to wake up in a beautiful way, feeling the blessings of sleep and stepping into our day with serenity. Through these simple practices we can transform our sleep to be one of tranquility and awareness.

24-Hour Full Moon Practice:
Embracing Anxiety, Cultivating Calmness
During the full moon of April 5, 2023, join us online for a guided meditation followed by a 24-hour session of mantra recitation, contemplative breathing practice, and further periods of guided meditation. Our online gathering offers a sacred space in which to acknowledge the personal pain of our lives and societal challenges of our times, and to heal and transform them by collectively opening to clearer, more positive, generative states of mind.
Each full moon we will acknowledge a particular pain or challenge and will be supported to open to and embrace pain with compassion, allowing positive healing qualities to emerge. This month we focus on meeting any anxiety we may experience in our body, speech, and mind with openness and warmth, clearing and opening the pathways of calmness that are inherent to us. For more details see “About the April 5-6 Practice,” below.
The full moon practice is part of a new yearlong cycle of live online teachings, meditations, and science & spirituality dialogs entitled “Embracing Life with Wisdom & Compassion.” The 24-hour session begins with a meditation guided by Alejandro Chaoul-Reich at 10 a.m. New York time on the day of the full moon and continues unbroken until 10 a.m. the following day. We will be supported by Ligmincha International’s global community of practitioners.
Unlike Rinpoche’s CyberSangha® Facebook Live broadcasts, the 24-hour full moon practice takes place via Zoom, in an online meeting space. There is no cost to participate, but registration is required.

COURSE
Sherap Chamma: Mother of Wisdom and Love
with Marcy Vaughn
Ligmincha Learning is pleased to announce that we will be offering our course introducing the practices of Sherap Chamma, Mother of Wisdom and Love, taught by Marcy Vaughn.
In many cultures the primordial female energy is seen as the origin of existence and the source of all positive qualities. As such, Sherap Chamma is the source of wisdom, and her medicine is love and compassion. The teachings of Sherap Chamma comprise one of the most important tantric cycles of the ancient Bön tradition.
Join Marcy Vaughn in this special course to learn a beautiful and simple meditation practice that will enable you to connect directly with the divine feminine energy. With visualization, the sound of mantra, and deep contemplation, participants can make a personal connection to this sacred form of the universal mother, Sherap Chamma, and are guided through this connection to innate wisdom and the love and compassion that naturally radiate from that wisdom.
Those experienced in meditation as well as those who are beginning are warmly welcomed.

Topic:
Dream Yoga in the Bön Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism
In-person retreat with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
April 21-23, 2023 – Lisbon – Portugal
The Dream Yoga is a practice that encompasses every moment of life, awake and asleep. It is a
powerful awakening tool, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions.
The foundational practices, done during the day, change the practitioner's relationship to all
experiences, developing awareness and realizing the dreamlike nature of life, leading to lucidity in
dreams that are then used for higher spiritual practices. Unlike the Western psychological approach
to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan Dream Yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind and
enlightenment itself.

Tibetan Dream Yoga
with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
“The practice of dream yoga is about understanding more about appearances and what they truly are. And ultimately, it is about understanding who we are, the true sense of self.”
– Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
It is said that the practice of dream yoga deepens our awareness during all our experience: the dreams of the night; the dream-like experience of the day; and the bardo experiences after death. Indeed, the practice of dream yoga is a powerful tool of awakening, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself.
In this four-week workshop, students will explore and practice the ancient Bön Buddhist teachings of Tibetan dream yoga. The workshop provides detailed instruction for dream yoga practice, with discussion of the relationships between dreaming and waking and between dreaming and death. Rinpoche also will provide instructions for foundational practices done during the day and for the uses and methods of lucid dreaming.

Event Details
Topic: The Six Lamps, Part 2
In May 2022 Rinpoche taught from the Dzogchen teachings the Six Lamps and he started with the First Lamp. He will continue this teaching in this seminar.
The source of these teachings is Tapihritsa who manifested himself in the expanse of the sky and transmitted teachings to Gyerpung Nangzher Lodpo, probably sometime at the turn of the 7th and 8th centuries AD. The ‘lamps’ in the title, one by one illuminate different key points of Dzogchen.
The Six Lamps is one of the four important texts in the tradition of the oral transmission of the Zhang Zhung. At the core of the dzogchen teachings is the view that all sentient beings are primordially pure, perfected, and have the potential to spontaneously manifest in a beneficial way. This capacity is within each and every one of us. It is our nature, yet we often find ourselves alienated and disconnected from ourselves and others as we rush about in our day-to-day lives. If we are willing to directly and nakedly encounter the experiences of our ordinary life, however challenging they may be, these experiences become the doorway to realizing our true nature, the doorway to inner refuge.
These teachings permit you to engage in the practice of meditation and reflection, to look intimately within and discover the jewel that is hidden in your ordinary experiences. Explore how to honor and respect the three doors of body, speech, and mind, and to recognize the opportunities for healing that life presents. Discover the inner refuge and the gifts of spaciousness, awareness, and warmth that can bring healing and benefit not only to you, but also to your relationships with others and the greater world.
This seminar is open to anyone who wants to learn to live from openness and clarity.
Lecture: Friday evening May 5 from 20.00 – 21.30
Lessons: Saturday May 6 and Sunday May 7 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Venue: Posthoornkerk, Amsterdam,
Haarlemmerstraat 124-126

RETREAT
Topic: The Invocation of Tapihritsa
with Menri Shedrup Khenpo Geshe Nyima Dhondup Rinpoche
Menri Shedrup Khenpo Nyima Dhondrup Rinpoche will offer teachings on the Invocation of Tapihritsa on May 12-14, 2023, at Serenity Ridge Retreat Center. Everyone is welcome to join us for this powerful dzogchen teaching from the Yungdrung Bön Buddhist lineage of Tibet.
The Invocation of Tapihritsa is a poetic expression of enlightenment or self-realization. The Invocation praises Tapihritsa, an historical figure and enlightened being. Doing so, it teaches us how to recognize and abide in our own true nature. This teaching is of the essence of dzogchen, the “great perfection” teachings of Tibetan Bön Buddhism, with Tapihritsa embodying the true nature of reality. Tapihritsa was born around the 7th or 8th century CE and was one of the many early Bön masters of dzogchen to achieve the rainbow body. His student, Nangzher Lopo, wrote down his spoken teachings for the benefit of future generations. The Invocation to Tapihritsa,is a powerful teaching that guides the practitioner toward realization of the nature of mind.
In his clear, sensitive and direct teaching style, Khenpo Nyima Rinpoche will present this teaching and its significance in a manner that will deepen our connection to our own essential goodness and compassion.
Menri Shedrup Khenpo Geshe Nyima Dhondup Rinpoche is abbot of the Bön Dialectic School at Menri Monastery in Dolanji, India. He was born in 1978 in Delhi, India. His birth name, Tsering Dhondup, was bestowed on him by Tsondue Rinpoche, one of the greatest Bön masters of the 20th century. After completing more than 15 years’ study of Bön sutra, tantra, dzogchen and the five major and minor sciences of the Bön tradition, Nyima Rinpoche received his geshe Degree in the spring of 2006. In 2008 Rinpoche was enthroned as Menri Shedrup Lopon, the principal master of the Bön Dialectic School at Menri Monastery, where he has been teaching for more than 15 years. In February 2012 he was enthroned as the Menri Shedrup Khenpo, the Abbot of the Bön Dialectic School. Rinpoche has served as invited speaker for several major Bön and Buddhist conferences. He is author of three books covering the main philosophical teachings of Bön, and has contributed several articles to Bon-sGo, the journal of Menri Monastery in India; and the Himalayan Bön website in Tibet. He has taken on additional responsibilities as General Secretary of the Governing Council of Menri Monastery, and since 2011, as director of Menri’s official website, www.theyungdrungbon.com. In 2014 he visited Tibet and blessed many Bön followers and practitioners.

The Six Lokas
with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
In the Bön and Buddhist tradition it is said there are 6 Realms (Lokas): Hell Realm, Hungry Ghost Realm, Animal Realm, Human Realm, Demi-God Realm and God Realm. These meditations developed by masters of the past focus on the root causes (karmic seeds) of our suffering: anger, greed, ignorance, jealousy, pride, and laziness — the six destructive emotions which are the obstacles to the enlightenment. In each meditation we reflect upon our habitual patterns so that we may recognize them rather than be driven by them. We then invoke the enlightened energy of the Buddhas to purify and transform these patterns, giving rise to their antidotes of love, generosity, wisdom, openness, peacefulness, and compassion. We develop the sincere aspiration that we and all other beings cease to suffer in these ways. The practices of the Six Lokas have a deep healing and transformative power and are traditionally practiced as a preliminary to Dzogchen contemplation. The purpose of this practice is burning the karmic seeds of suffering.

RETREAT
Living with Joy, Dying in Peace: Bardo Teachings (Part 1)
with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
The key to living fully, with joyful presence, is to relate intimately to the truth that sooner or later all life comes to an end. Death is inevitable and unavoidable; but in our Western society there is a tendency to deny our own mortality. This denial not only separates us from the vibrancy of living in the moment, it also leaves us ill equipped for the critical moment when death comes to ourselves or to our loved ones.
The Bön Buddhist tradition is rich with knowledge and methods for using this Great Moment wisely. Through teachings and guided meditations, in this retreat Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will help us to:
• recognize death as a doorway to opening the heart and achieving self-realization
• become intimately familiar with the luminous wisdom of impermanence
• explore our individual relationship to death as well as our desire and commitment to serve others in the dying process
• realize the importance of resolving conflicts now with our friends, family members, and others
• learn how to promote a more peaceful and uplifting dying process
• cultivate an intimate connection with internal and external sources of refuge that serves us as other supports fail.

LIGMINCHA MEXICO invites you to the Teaching
The Five Wisdoms ~ How to bring spiritual practice into our daily lives.
In-person and online retreat with GESHE TENZIN WANGYAL RINPOCHE
Great Stupa Bön for World Peace
March 22-26, 2023
*With Spanish translation. *
Many ancient Tibetan traditions describe wisdom as having five characteristics. The Yungdrung Bön tradition refers to these five as the wisdom of emptiness, mirror-like wisdom, the wisdom of equanimity, discriminating wisdom, and all-accomplishing wisdom.
When the mind is free of the five disturbing emotions-ignorance, anger, pride, attachment/desire, and jealousy-the natural mind arises spontaneously as the five wisdoms.
Rinpoche will clearly, vividly and skillfully guide us to recognize what obscures our true nature to help us access these spontaneously arising wisdoms in our daily lives.
Join us in person or online to receive the medicine of these teachings, take them to heart and discover our ability to transform confusion into wisdom.

Topic:
Dream Yoga in the Bön Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism
In-person retreat with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
April 21-23, 2023 – Lisbon – Portugal
The Dream Yoga is a practice that encompasses every moment of life, awake and asleep. It is a
powerful awakening tool, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions.
The foundational practices, done during the day, change the practitioner's relationship to all
experiences, developing awareness and realizing the dreamlike nature of life, leading to lucidity in
dreams that are then used for higher spiritual practices. Unlike the Western psychological approach
to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan Dream Yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind and
enlightenment itself.

Topic: The Six Lamps, Part 2
In May 2022 Rinpoche taught from the Dzogchen teachings the Six Lamps and he started with the First Lamp. He will continue this teaching in this seminar.
The source of these teachings is Tapihritsa who manifested himself in the expanse of the sky and transmitted teachings to Gyerpung Nangzher Lodpo, probably sometime at the turn of the 7th and 8th centuries AD. The ‘lamps’ in the title, one by one illuminate different key points of Dzogchen.
The Six Lamps is one of the four important texts in the tradition of the oral transmission of the Zhang Zhung. At the core of the dzogchen teachings is the view that all sentient beings are primordially pure, perfected, and have the potential to spontaneously manifest in a beneficial way. This capacity is within each and every one of us. It is our nature, yet we often find ourselves alienated and disconnected from ourselves and others as we rush about in our day-to-day lives. If we are willing to directly and nakedly encounter the experiences of our ordinary life, however challenging they may be, these experiences become the doorway to realizing our true nature, the doorway to inner refuge.
These teachings permit you to engage in the practice of meditation and reflection, to look intimately within and discover the jewel that is hidden in your ordinary experiences. Explore how to honor and respect the three doors of body, speech, and mind, and to recognize the opportunities for healing that life presents. Discover the inner refuge and the gifts of spaciousness, awareness, and warmth that can bring healing and benefit not only to you, but also to your relationships with others and the greater world.
This seminar is open to anyone who wants to learn to live from openness and clarity.
Lecture: Friday evening May 5 from 20.00 – 21.30
Lessons: Saturday May 6 and Sunday May 7 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

RETREAT—In-person in Rome, Italy and online via Zoom
The Six Lokas
with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
In the Bön and Buddhist tradition it is said there are 6 Realms (Lokas): Hell Realm, Hungry Ghost Realm, Animal Realm, Human Realm, Demi-God Realm and God Realm. These meditations developed by masters of the past focus on the root causes (karmic seeds) of our suffering: anger, greed, ignorance, jealousy, pride, and laziness — the six destructive emotions which are the obstacles to the enlightenment. In each meditation we reflect upon our habitual patterns so that we may recognize them rather than be driven by them. We then invoke the enlightened energy of the Buddhas to purify and transform these patterns, giving rise to their antidotes of love, generosity, wisdom, openness, peacefulness, and compassion. We develop the sincere aspiration that we and all other beings cease to suffer in these ways. The practices of the Six Lokas have a deep healing and transformative power and are traditionally practiced as a preliminary to Dzogchen contemplation. The purpose of this practice is burning the karmic seeds of suffering.

RETREAT
Topic: The Invocation of Tapihritsa
with Menri Shedrup Khenpo Geshe Nyima Dhondup Rinpoche
Menri Shedrup Khenpo Nyima Dhondrup Rinpoche will offer teachings on the Invocation of Tapihritsa on May 12-14, 2023, at Serenity Ridge Retreat Center. Everyone is welcome to join us for this powerful dzogchen teaching from the Yungdrung Bön Buddhist lineage of Tibet.
The Invocation of Tapihritsa is a poetic expression of enlightenment or self-realization. The Invocation praises Tapihritsa, an historical figure and enlightened being. Doing so, it teaches us how to recognize and abide in our own true nature. This teaching is of the essence of dzogchen, the “great perfection” teachings of Tibetan Bön Buddhism, with Tapihritsa embodying the true nature of reality. Tapihritsa was born around the 7th or 8th century CE and was one of the many early Bön masters of dzogchen to achieve the rainbow body. His student, Nangzher Lopo, wrote down his spoken teachings for the benefit of future generations. The Invocation to Tapihritsa,is a powerful teaching that guides the practitioner toward realization of the nature of mind.
In his clear, sensitive and direct teaching style, Khenpo Nyima Rinpoche will present this teaching and its significance in a manner that will deepen our connection to our own essential goodness and compassion.
Menri Shedrup Khenpo Geshe Nyima Dhondup Rinpoche is abbot of the Bön Dialectic School at Menri Monastery in Dolanji, India. He was born in 1978 in Delhi, India. His birth name, Tsering Dhondup, was bestowed on him by Tsondue Rinpoche, one of the greatest Bön masters of the 20th century. After completing more than 15 years’ study of Bön sutra, tantra, dzogchen and the five major and minor sciences of the Bön tradition, Nyima Rinpoche received his geshe Degree in the spring of 2006. In 2008 Rinpoche was enthroned as Menri Shedrup Lopon, the principal master of the Bön Dialectic School at Menri Monastery, where he has been teaching for more than 15 years. In February 2012 he was enthroned as the Menri Shedrup Khenpo, the Abbot of the Bön Dialectic School. Rinpoche has served as invited speaker for several major Bön and Buddhist conferences. He is author of three books covering the main philosophical teachings of Bön, and has contributed several articles to Bon-sGo, the journal of Menri Monastery in India; and the Himalayan Bön website in Tibet. He has taken on additional responsibilities as General Secretary of the Governing Council of Menri Monastery, and since 2011, as director of Menri’s official website, www.theyungdrungbon.com. In 2014 he visited Tibet and blessed many Bön followers and practitioners.

RETREAT
Living with Joy, Dying in Peace: Bardo Teachings (Part 1)
with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
The key to living fully, with joyful presence, is to relate intimately to the truth that sooner or later all life comes to an end. Death is inevitable and unavoidable; but in our Western society there is a tendency to deny our own mortality. This denial not only separates us from the vibrancy of living in the moment, it also leaves us ill equipped for the critical moment when death comes to ourselves or to our loved ones.
The Bön Buddhist tradition is rich with knowledge and methods for using this Great Moment wisely. Through teachings and guided meditations, in this retreat Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will help us to:
• recognize death as a doorway to opening the heart and achieving self-realization
• become intimately familiar with the luminous wisdom of impermanence
• explore our individual relationship to death as well as our desire and commitment to serve others in the dying process
• realize the importance of resolving conflicts now with our friends, family members, and others
• learn how to promote a more peaceful and uplifting dying process
• cultivate an intimate connection with internal and external sources of refuge that serves us as other supports fail.

24-Hour Full Moon Practice:
Embracing Anxiety, Cultivating Calmness
During the full moon of April 5, 2023, join us online for a guided meditation followed by a 24-hour session of mantra recitation, contemplative breathing practice, and further periods of guided meditation. Our online gathering offers a sacred space in which to acknowledge the personal pain of our lives and societal challenges of our times, and to heal and transform them by collectively opening to clearer, more positive, generative states of mind.
Each full moon we will acknowledge a particular pain or challenge and will be supported to open to and embrace pain with compassion, allowing positive healing qualities to emerge. This month we focus on meeting any anxiety we may experience in our body, speech, and mind with openness and warmth, clearing and opening the pathways of calmness that are inherent to us. For more details see “About the April 5-6 Practice,” below.
The full moon practice is part of a new yearlong cycle of live online teachings, meditations, and science & spirituality dialogs entitled “Embracing Life with Wisdom & Compassion.” The 24-hour session begins with a meditation guided by Alejandro Chaoul-Reich at 10 a.m. New York time on the day of the full moon and continues unbroken until 10 a.m. the following day. We will be supported by Ligmincha International’s global community of practitioners.
Unlike Rinpoche’s CyberSangha® Facebook Live broadcasts, the 24-hour full moon practice takes place via Zoom, in an online meeting space. There is no cost to participate, but registration is required.

COURSE
The Three Heart Mantras
with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
The Three Heart Mantras are used in many different meditations in the Bön tradition and play a major role in the ngöndro practices. They are said to be the essence of enlightenment in sound and energy, and as we sing or chant the mantras our awareness is transformed to be in union with the Buddhas. They are used for purification, protection and as primary practices toward self-realization.
It is said that creating these mantras in any form brings merit and purification, so they are commonly found carved into stones, printed on prayer flags where they spread their benefits through the winds, and even drawn with gold ink and kept on shrines as an object of reverence and meditation. Their blessings are said to be endless. Also within this course Tenzin Rinpoche explains the essence of the Guru Yoga, Refuge and Bodhicitta practices, making this an excellent introduction to the tradition.
Lourdes Hinojosa will be the mentor for this course.

Meditation, Breath and Movement: External, Internal and Secret Tsa Lung
with Alejandro Chaoul-Reich
Location: ligminchalearning.com
Tsa lung is a series of ancient yogic practices that brings balance and harmony to our physical body, energy and mind. The term tsa lung can be translated as the energy-winds (Tibetan: lung, Skt. prana, Chinese, qi) in the Channels, for these practices are designed to open the subtle channels, guiding the healthy flow of the energy-winds so that we can enjoy good health and reconnect with more calmness to a quiet, peaceful mind. These exercises are easy to perform and are suitable for everyone.
There are three levels of tsa lung practice: external, internal and secret. External tsa lung works primarily on the physical level, using simple movements and breath exercises to balance the energies within our body. Internal tsa lung works more at the level of breath and subtle energy, bringing our attention to opening the five chakras and the central channel. Secret tsa lung uses subtle visualizations within the chakras and central channel to bring harmony to the mind, so that we can rest in our inner refuge, nature of mind. All of the tsa lung exercises integrate and balance the five elements within: earth, water, fire, wind and space.
These practices are drawn from the Bön Mother Tantra (Tibetan: Ma Gyud) the highest tantra in our tradition. They are a beautiful complement to any meditation practice, and particularly to dzogchen. They are frequently performed at the beginning of a session so that meditation is deeper and more stable. External tsa lung is commonly performed in all Ligmincha centers and groups.

Although these practices are considered the foundation for entrance into the five-part cycle of Tibetan Bön dzogchen teachings – Bön’s highest teachings on the nature of mind – many practitioners adopt the ngöndro as their main meditation and complete the nine sets of 100,000 repetitions over the course of a lifetime. Within each is contained the entire path to liberation. They are considered to be the foundational practices for the entire tradition.
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche rarely teaches the ngöndro, and recommends it for dedicated practitioners who feel a strong connection to the Bön lineage. Within the ngöndro are found practices that are used within many other practices, such as the Guru Yoga Prayer, Bodhicitta Prayer, Refuge Prayer, Prostrations, and the Three Heart Mantras, so the ngöndro supports and deepens all other meditation practices.
Participation in a ngöndro retreat or this online course is a prerequisite for continuing the Experiential Transmission of Zhang Zhung series. Tenzin Rinpoche will offer Part 2 of the series in December 2021.
Rob Patzig will be the mentor for this course.
This course is ongoing through December. Registration continues to be open after the start date.

COURSE
Sleep Yoga: The Yoga of Clear Light
with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
We spend one-third of our life in sleep, yet for most people sleep is a period of unconsciousness. Through the practices of the Yoga of Clear Light we can learn to be completely aware during our sleep, open, clear, resting in deep meditative presence. But how do we get from our current stress and disrupted sleep patterns to the state of clear light?
This course will introduce simple techniques to enter into sleep in a healthy, balanced way. Even if we do not consistently enter into clear light sleep, we can benefit from a refreshing, relaxed sleep that gives us deep renewal. This is supported by breathing techniques, physical postures and guided visualizations. Tenzin Rinpoche will also provide a meditation to wake up in a beautiful way, feeling the blessings of sleep and stepping into our day with serenity. Through these simple practices we can transform our sleep to be one of tranquility and awareness.

Sherap Chamma: Mother of Wisdom and Love
with Marcy Vaughn
Ligmincha Learning is pleased to announce that we will be offering our course introducing the practices of Sherap Chamma, Mother of Wisdom and Love, taught by Marcy Vaughn.
In many cultures the primordial female energy is seen as the origin of existence and the source of all positive qualities. As such, Sherap Chamma is the source of wisdom, and her medicine is love and compassion. The teachings of Sherap Chamma comprise one of the most important tantric cycles of the ancient Bön tradition.
Join Marcy Vaughn in this special course to learn a beautiful and simple meditation practice that will enable you to connect directly with the divine feminine energy. With visualization, the sound of mantra, and deep contemplation, participants can make a personal connection to this sacred form of the universal mother, Sherap Chamma, and are guided through this connection to innate wisdom and the love and compassion that naturally radiate from that wisdom.
Those experienced in meditation as well as those who are beginning are warmly welcomed.

COURSE
Tibetan Dream Yoga
with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
“The practice of dream yoga is about understanding more about appearances and what they truly are. And ultimately, it is about understanding who we are, the true sense of self.”
– Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
It is said that the practice of dream yoga deepens our awareness during all our experience: the dreams of the night; the dream-like experience of the day; and the bardo experiences after death. Indeed, the practice of dream yoga is a powerful tool of awakening, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself.
In this four-week workshop, students will explore and practice the ancient Bön Buddhist teachings of Tibetan dream yoga. The workshop provides detailed instruction for dream yoga practice, with discussion of the relationships between dreaming and waking and between dreaming and death. Rinpoche also will provide instructions for foundational practices done during the day and for the uses and methods of lucid dreaming.
