Yongdzin Rinpoche's Quintessential Instructions on Prayer to Tapirihtsa

Khenpo Gelek Jinpa

Nangzher Löpo, together with Tapihritsa, committed for the first time the teachings of the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyü to writing, in the Zhang Zhung language.
Later, he composed a powerful invocation prayer to Tapihritsa, which encapsulates the very essence of Dzogchen instructions. In our time, our great master Yongdzin Rinpoche wrote a commentary on this exceptional prayer.

Full Moon Offering Ceremony – Lishu Tagring

Lamas résidents de Shenten

The full moon is traditionally regarded as an especially auspicious time for practice: the “energies” of the cycle are said to be stronger, and the impact of our intentions, prayers, and virtuous actions is considered to be amplified. This is why we gather for the Full Moon Tsok—to practice together, make offerings, purify, and renew our connection to the lineage

Basics of Bön Philosophy

Tulku Pönse Jigme Tenzin

In this lecture, we will deepen our philosophical inquiry by examining everyday phenomena through the lens of dharma theory. Our exploration will revisit three key disciplines of the Bön tradition: Phenomenology, Epistemology and typologies of the mind, and Ontology.
By interweaving these perspectives, we will gain a clearer understanding of how the objects of ordinary experience are analyzed and comprehended within Bön philosophy.
