RETREAT—The Six Lamps, Part 4

About the teaching

In the three foregoing years, 2022 to 2024, Rinpoche taught from the Dzogchen teachings,  the Six Lamps. He will continue this teaching in this seminar. The source of these teachings is Tapiritsa 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 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.
