The text was written by Shardza ​​Tashi Gyaltsen\, a great Bonpo teacher and yogi who realized the rainbow body in 1934. The Heartdrops can be read as a step-by-step guide to practicing Dzogchen meditation. It is a personal instruction from Shardza ​​to his students. Despite its modern nature\, it is not a do-it-yourself manual. For proper understanding\, it is necessary to receive direct instruction and transmission from a qualified teacher. The text includes\, among other things\, special preparatory exercises for Dzogchen (Rushen)\, followed by an introduction to the natural state and instructions for the practice of Trekchö and Tögel. Because this text encompasses all aspects of the Dzogchen teachings\, it is particularly suitable for both beginning and experienced practitioners. In the Tibetan Bon and Nyingma traditions\, Dzogchen is considered the ultimate form of meditation practice. \nThis seminar is open to anyone who wants to learn to live from openness and clarity. \nTeaching: Saturday May 16 from 10.00 AM – 6.00 PM and Sunday May 17 from 9.00 AM – 4.00 PM \nVenue: Van Houtenkerk\,  Oudegracht 69\, Weesp \nTenzin Wangyal Rinpoche teaches in English\nTranslations will be made into Dutch \nIt is possible to follow this event online. \n\n This seminar will be on Saturday and Sunday\, so on the Friday evening there will be no teaching.
