An Introduction to Dzogchen Meditation with Menri Shedrup Khenpo Geshe Nyima Dhondup Rinpoche

When: May 17 & 18, 2025
Where: Serenity Ridge Retreat Center and online

Discover the transformative power of Dzogchen meditation in our immersive two-day retreat. Rooted in the ancient Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition, Dzogchen, or the “Great Perfection,” is a profound practice that focuses on recognizing and resting in the natural state of mind, often described as naked awareness or luminous clarity. Dzogchen has the power to transform ordinary perceptions of the world and our self from a fragmented, stress-filled outlook to one of unity and tranquility. Integrating this form of meditation into one’s daily life can reduce stress and anxiety, improve our emotional resilience, and create a greater ability to remain present and centered amidst life’s challenges. Ultimately it is a path to complete realization, or Buddhahood.

Khenpo Nyima Rinpoche, the Abbott of the Dialectic School of Menri Monastery in Dolanji, India will guide us in ancient techniques designed to help transcend ordinary dualistic perception and tap into the inherent wisdom and compassion that is our true nature. Through a combination of guided meditations, teachings, and discussion, we will cultivate a state of non-dual awareness that is both expansive and deeply peaceful.

Serenity Ridge offers a scenic and supportive environment to reconnect to oneself and others. Whether you’re new to meditation or seeking to deepen your practice, this retreat is a special opportunity to unlock the transformative potential of Dzogchen meditation and carry its benefits into your everyday life.

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.

Rinpoche’s Free Online Program: ‘A Year of Body, Speech & Mind’

In the Tibetan tradition, body, speech and mind are known as the three doors to enlightenment, for they are the only tools we have for progressing on the spiritual path. Through these doors we either exit and become separated from our true nature, or we enter into the fullness of being, realizing and manifesting our capacities in this life for the benefit of others.

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is launching a yearlong online program related to these three doors.
