We warmly invite you to join us for one or both of these special opportunities with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. On Saturday, July 4, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche has graciously accepted our request to bestow the Rigpa Tsal Wang (Empowerment of the Dynamic Energy of Awareness) from the Zhang Zhung Nyengyü Bon Dzogchen tradition, the Oral Tradition of Zhang Zhung. This precious empowerment will be offered during the morning session. The program will run from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., followed by lunch (breakfast and lunch are included in the registration fee). As an additional opportunity, on Sunday, July 5, Rinpoche will offer Direct Pointing-Out Instructions, introducing the Nature of Mind. This is a rare chance to receive traditional pointing-out instructions directly from an accomplished Dzogchen master. The Pointing-Out Instructions will be held in the morning, and your registration includes participation in the entire day's program, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., followed by dinner (breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the registration fee). You are welcome to attend either event individually or participate in both for a rich and meaningful weekend of practice and transmission. We hope you will join us for these exceptional teachings.
