During this Dzogchen Spring retreat, Khenchen Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche will teach on Heart Drops of the Dharmakaya (Künzang Nyingthik), a key Dzogchen text from the Bön tradition.

Written by the Tibetan master Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen who realized the rainbow body, this work is considered a complete meditation manual that presents practical instructions pointing directly to the essence of Dzogchen. Presented as personal guidance from teacher to student, the text outlines a progressive path that includes foundational practices as well as essential Dzogchen methods, such as trekchö ("cutting through" mental obscurations to recognize the mind’s natural clarity) and thögal ("direct crossing through spontaneous visions), along with teachings on bardo (intermediate states) and phowa (conscious transference at death).

During this retreat, Khenchen Rinpoche will continue his teachings based on this text, concluding the chapter on internal rushen. He will introduce the practice of purification of the six lokas, a contemplative method that works with the six realms of existence to transform emotional patterns, purify karmic traces, and support the recognition of the mind’s natural clarity.

Everyone is welcome to attend, whether you are new to meditation, beginning to explore Dzogchen, or continuing your study of this text. You are encouraged to attend even if you have not participated in previous teachings. Each retreat stands on its own while also supporting those who wish to follow the full cycle over time.
