Yongdzin Rinpoche's Quintessential Instructions on Prayer to Tapirihtsa
Khenpo Gelek Jinpa
January 11, 2026 - February 28, 2026
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.
Master Tapihritsa is one of the most revered Dzogchen masters in the Bön tradition, renowned for accomplishing the Rainbow Body within a single lifetime.
According to his biography—still available today—Tapihritsa transmitted the complete cycle of the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyü to his principal disciple, Nangzher Löpo, while abiding in the state of Rainbow Body. After receiving these profound instructions, Nangzher Löpo, together with Tapihritsa, committed the teachings to writing for the first time, in the Zhang Zhung language.
Later, Nangzher Löpo composed a powerful invocation prayer to Tapihritsa, a short text said to contain the very essence of Dzogchen guidance. In the 21st century, our great master Yongdzin Rinpoche, holder of the lineage, offered a commentary on this extraordinary prayer.
Rinpoche recited this invocation often throughout his life—especially in his final period. For Khenpo Gelek, this prayer carries a deeply personal resonance: it was the last prayer he heard from Yongdzin Rinpoche, during his final visit.
Join us for this rare and moving transmission—step into a moment rich in blessings and emotion, and let yourself be carried by the living heart of the lineage.
