SUMMARY:COURSE—Tibetan Dream Yoga
DESCRIPTION:COURSE\nTibetan Dream Yoga\nAncient Teachings from the Dzogchen Tradition\n4-Week Online Workshop June 14- July 17\, 2026 \nwith Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche \n“The practice of dream yoga is about understanding more about appearances and what they truly are. And ultimately\, it is about understanding who we are\, the true sense of self.”\n– Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche \nThrough practice\, we can cultivate greater awareness during every moment of life. If we do\, freedom and flexibility continually increase and we are less governed by habitual preoccupations and distractions. Eventually we develop a continuity of awareness that allows us to maintain full awareness during dream as well as in waking life. When we fully develop this capacity\, we will find that we are living both waking and dreaming life with greater ease\, comfort\, clarity\, and appreciation. \nRinpoche makes himself available throughout the four weeks of the workshop to answer questions about the teachings and your experiences with the practices through our private workshop forums and messaging system. \n\n				Learn More & Register

SUMMARY:RETREAT—L'Invocation à Tapihritsa
DESCRIPTION:L’Invocation à Tapihritsa est l’un des textes les plus précieux de la tradition Dzogchen Bön. Bien qu’elle soit profondément enracinée dans une lignée ancienne\, cette invocation constitue aussi une porte d’entrée remarquable pour celles et ceux qui découvrent le Dzogchen pour la première fois. Parce qu’elle inclut tout le chemin de la voie Dzogchen\, elle est parfaitement adaptée aussi bien aux débutants qu’aux pratiquants de longue date. \nLors de cet enseignement\, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoché expliquera le sens profond de ce texte et la manière dont il peut nous conduire à reconnaître notre propre sagesse originelle (rangjung yeshe en tibétain)\, la connaissance spontanée qui est au cœur de notre être et l’appliquer aux difficultés de notre vie quotidienne. \nNous vous invitons chaleureusement à vous joindre à cet événement — que vous ayez un intérêt à découvrir le Dzogchen ou que vous cheminiez depuis longtemps déjà — pour explorer ensemble cette prière lumineuse qui condense l’essence entière de la voie. \nRinpoché s’exprimera en anglais\, avec traduction consécutive en français. \n23 mai: journée préparatoire par des instructeurs de Ligmincha France-Suisse romande\n24-25 mai: enseignement par Rinpoché \n\n				Découvrir et acheter un billet

SUMMARY:RETREAT—The Heartdrops of Dharmakaya
DESCRIPTION:Heartdrops of Dharmakaya\nHeartdrops of Dharmakaya is a very concise yet comprehensive text on Dzogchen. 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.

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—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—Tibetan Dream Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Tibetan Dream Yoga\nwith Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche \nThis is a 4 week course \n“The practice of dream yoga is about understanding more about appearances and what they truly are. And ultimately\, it is about understanding who we are\, the true sense of self.”– Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche \nWe spend a third of our lives sleeping. Every night we participate in profound mysteries\, moving from one dimension of experience to another\, losing our sense of self and finding it again\, and yet we take it all for granted. We wake up in the morning and continue in “real” life\, but in a sense we are still asleep and dreaming. The teachings tell us that we can continue in this deluded\, dreamy state\, day and night\, or wake up to the truth. \nThrough practice\, we can cultivate greater awareness during every moment of life. If we do\, freedom and flexibility continually increase and we are less governed by habitual preoccupations and distractions. Eventually we develop a continuity of awareness that allows us to maintain full awareness during dream as well as in waking life. When we fully develop this capacity\, we will find that we are living both waking and dreaming life with greater ease\, comfort\, clarity\, and appreciation. \nWorkshop Features: \n\nFour-week teacher-guided online workshop\nStep-by-step class video instructions (via streaming video)\, with available Spanish Subtitles and English closed captions\nNew material released twice a week including eight all-new guided meditations\nEight hours of video instruction\, exercises\, and downloadable meditations\nNo set class times – review video instruction any time and as often as necessary throughout the workshop\nContinuous personal support and individual advice from Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche via workshop forums\nEasy to use and navigate course site\n\n\n\n\n			\n				Learn More & Register
