Join Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche for the annual two-week Summer Retreat at Serenity Ridge in Virginia or online via Zoom. The Seven Mirrors of Dzogchen is an essential text of the Tibetan Bön dzogchen tradition, which directly introduces us to the clear, open awareness that is our true nature and offers methods for maintaining a connection to the natural state. The text was composed by Drenpa Namkha, a great Tibetan meditation master of the late seventh/early eighth century.
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche has offered teachings from this text on several occasions, most recently during Serenity Ridge’s summer retreat of 2020, and has published a book of commentary on the Seven Mirrors based on the 2020 teachings. In this summer’s two-week retreat, Rinpoche will guide us to recognize and rest in our true nature, engaging selected practices and meditations. Newcomers and experienced practitioners are equally welcome! The emphasis on practice will allow experiences and realization to deepen in the warmth of our collective practice.
