The "Proclamation in the Naga Realm"
Pönlop Tsangpa Tenzin Rinpoche will continue his teaching on the cycle Dragpa Khor Sum – literally "The Three Proclamations (of the Buddha's speech)".
This cycle, also known as one of the four major Dzogchen teachings (the Great Perfection), serves as a guide for directly recognizing the nature of the mind. It holds an essential place within the Yungdrung Bön tradition, particularly in the Gomdra (meditation school) of Triten Norbutse Monastery, one of the two main Bön centers outside Tibet.
At Shenten Dargye Ling, this same cycle may be integrated into the local Gomdra. As such, this seminar offers an ideal opportunity for those considering joining the Gomdra in the future.
A transmission never before given in the West
During this seminar, Rinpoche will teach the "Proclamation in the Naga Realm", one of the three sections of the Dragpa Khor Sum cycle. This teaching has never before been introduced in the West, making this event a particularly rare and precious opportunity.
Translation
The teaching will be translated onsite from Tibetan into English, and then from English into French.
