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. The Six Sessions is also the foundational practice for the Three-Day Dark Retreat program beginning at Chamma Ling Crestone in September of 2026. Anyone interested in participating in that program should attend this teaching.\n			\n				Learn More & Register
