SUMMARY:COURSE—Meditation\, Breath and Movement
DESCRIPTION:Meditation\, Breath and Movement\nwith Alejandro Chaoul-Reich \nThis is a 4 week course \nTsa 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. \nThere 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. \nThese 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. \n			\n				Learn More & Register

SUMMARY:RETREAT—Transforming Our Negative Emotions Through the Six Lokas
DESCRIPTION:Transforming our negative emotions through the Six Lokas\nEach of us suffers from strong emotions at one time or another\, which throw us off balance\, cause us to take actions that we later regret\, and disconnect us from the clear\, open space of our true nature. Centuries ago\, the masters of the Tibetan Bon Buddhism lineage developed the meditations of the Six Lokas (realms of existence) specifically to meet our strong emotions\, find the medicine in them and live our lives in a balanced and relaxed way. These meditations focus on the root causes of our suffering: anger\, greed\, ignorance\, jealousy\, pride\, and laziness—the six destructive emotions that stand in the way of enlightenment. In each meditation\, we reflect on our habitual patterns so that we can recognize them instead of being driven by them. Then we invoke the enlightened energy of the Buddhas to purify and transform these patterns so that their antidotes can be love\, generosity\, wisdom\, openness\, peacefulness and compassion arise. The practices of the\nSix Lokas have a deeply healing and transforming power and are traditionally practiced as a precursor to Dzogchen contemplation. \nTenzin Rinpoche invites everyone to explore these powerful teachings and apply them in our lives. During this retreat\, Rinpoche will explain how physical movements\, breath\, mantra\, visualization\, and contemplation can deeply purify the seeds of our karmic patterns and support healing. \nVenue:  Dialoghotel „Am Spiegeln“ (www.amspiegeln.at)\nJohann-Hörbiger-Gasse 30\, 1230 Wien \nAccess: https://amspiegeln.at/lage-anreise/ (route planner for public transport and\ncars) \nDate: Saturday\, May 9th: Seminar 10:00 – 18:00\nSunday\, May 10th: Seminar 09:00 – 16:00\nThe seminar will be translated from English into German. \nCost: € 190\,- for the seminar\n€ 160\,- (members of Ligmincha Austria e.V.)\n€ 120\,- online / € 100\,- for members of Ligmincha Austria\n(reduction on request: info@ligmincha.at) \nIf you cancel your booking less than two weeks before the event date\, the seminar fee\npaid will not be refunded.

SUMMARY:RETREAT—Chöd\, Part 1 with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
DESCRIPTION:Cutting through Fear and Attachment: The Practice of Chöd in the Bon Tradition\nMany of life’s challenges arise from fear and attachment—the core obstacles to recognizing our true nature. Chöd\, an ancient Tibetan practice\, offers a direct and creative way to cut through these patterns. Traditionally practiced in wild or challenging environments\, Chöd uses chant\, rhythm\, and visualization to meet fear with wisdom and compassion. At its heart\, the practice reveals that what we fear externally reflects inner attachments and emotional habits. In cutting through our negativities we transform our inner and outer worlds\, heal ourselves\, and open up toward our full creative potential and presence. \nIn this teaching\, you’ll explore how to transform fear\, dissolve emotional conflict\, and reconnect you with your natural state—open\, aware\, creative\, and fearless. Our Chöd retreat will consist of 2 separate weekends in 2026: April 25 + 26 and October 24 + 25 \nLocation:The Berkeley Alembic2820 Seventh St\, Berkeley\, CA 94710In person : $185/ low income $125Zoom: Sliding scale $85-$130 \nFor any questions contact: Susan Killian susansnyderk@gmail.com \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				In-person Registration\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Online Registration

SUMMARY:RETREAT—Six Sessions Practice: Dzogchen Meditation for Personal Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Deepen your practice with the Six Sessions Practice\, a complete meditation cycle that Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche first shared with his Western students on coming to the west. Rooted in Dzogchen and drawing from sutra and tantra\, this practice can be the main practice of a retreat of any length\, as well as daily meditation\, helping practitioners connect to the natural state of mind. \nRinpoche teaches that these Six Sessions link directly to the Mother Tantra (Ma Gyü) and the Oral Transmission of Zhang Zhung (Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyü) lineages which are at the heart of Ligmincha International\, offering a path to clarity\, stability\, and awakening. \nPractice Overview\n\nGuru Yoga (Lama’i Naljor) – A universal Guru Yoga not tied to any specific teacher\, deity\, or lineage\, allowing connection with all our teachers.\nRefuge and Compassion (Bodhicitta) Prayers – Drawn from the Mother Tantra\, these stabilize the mind and open the heart.\nNine Breathings of Purification – Working with the subtle body\, these clear mental\, emotional\, and energetic obscurations.\nSecuring the Boundary – A tantric practice creating a secure and protected container for meditation.\nContemplative Breathing – The heart of the Six Sessions\, drawn from the Twenty-One Nails of the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyü\, guiding direct experience of the natural state.\nDedication of Merit – Concluding the practice with aspiration and the natural expression of generosity.\n\nGeshe Denma Gyaltsen has been leading and teaching the Six Sessions Practice for Ligmincha Texas for decades\, and will guide us through the steps of the practice as well as the purpose of each step\, with special emphasis on Securing the Boundary and Contemplative Breathing. He will also offer the transmission (lung) for the practices. \nWho Should Attend\nThis teaching is for anyone interested in learning complete Dzogchen meditation practice through this set of simple yet profound meditation tools to deepen their wisdom and awareness.

SUMMARY:RETREAT—Dream Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Tibetan Dream Yoga with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche\nMarch 9–13\, 2026 \nWe sleep one-third of our lifetime\, an average of 20 to 25 years. Dream yoga is a practice that spans every moment\, waking and sleeping. It is a powerful tool of awakening used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions. \nFoundational practices in dream yoga change the practitioner’s relationship to all experiences\, develop conscious awareness\, and often lead to lucidity in dreams. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams\, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of the mind or enlightenment itself. \nTenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will discuss the relationships between dream and waking\, and dream and death. He will show how the causes of dreams are related to the six chakras\, and how we can heal blocks in the chakras. He will teach the “four preparations” for sleep and the uses and methods of lucid dreaming. \nTenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is one of very few masters of the Tibetan Bön Dzogchen tradition living in the West. He founded Ligmincha International\, and is known for his ability to make Tibetan practices easily accessible to all students. Rinpoche is the author of nine books\, including Wonders of the Natural Mind and The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep. \n\n			\n				Learn More & Register

SUMMARY:COURSE—Ngöndro: The Foundational Practices
DESCRIPTION:Ngöndro: The Foundational Practices\nwith Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche \nThe 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. \nTenzin 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. \nParticipation 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. \nRob Patzig will be the mentor for this course. \nThis course is ongoing through December. Registration continues to be open after the start date. \n			\n				Learn More & Register

SUMMARY:COURSE—Meditation\, Breath and Movement
DESCRIPTION:Meditation\, Breath and Movement\nwith Alejandro Chaoul-Reich \nThis is a 4 week course \nTsa 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. \nThere 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. \nThese 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. \n			\n				Learn More & Register
