August 21, 2026 - August 26, 2026
The Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud, the orally transmitted Dzogchen lineage of Zhang Zhung, belongs to the highest category of Dzogchen teachings. Having the extremely rare quality of being an unbroken lineage from its origin till the present days.
Continuing his teachings from previous years, Khenchen Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche will again offer us the precious meditation instructions of the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud, belonging to the unique Experiential Lineage, the Nyam Gyud.
Therefor Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud, the orally transmitted Dzogchen lineage of Zhang Zhung, belongs to the highest category of Dzogchen teachings. Having the extremely rare quality of being an unbroken lineage from its origin till the present days, the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud own another wonderful particularity: alongside its complete corpus of Dzogchen teachings in four volumes, a lineage of short and decisive meditative instructions took birth, forged by the experiential realisation of the masters of the lineage: This is the Nyam Gyud, the Transmission of Experiences.
Consisting of precious key points about the view, the meditation, the activities and the fruit, it is a unique collection of the personal instructions of those realised masters to their disciples.
With a strong emphasis on meditation instructions for recognising the Nature of the Mind, this teaching is traditionally put into practice immediately after receiving each master’s instruction set – that's what we will do during this retreat: In the spirit of the pedagogy proper to this lineage, Khenchen Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche will proceed by alternating direct instructions with meditation sessions on each of those key-points.
We invite you to join this rare opportunity to dive directly into the instructions of one of the most unique Dzogchen lineages, and to build your own personal experience under the guidance of Rinpoche.
This retreat is convenient for both stabilising your understanding of the Dzogchen meditation and discovering at firsthand, making it a great opportunity for beginners and seasoned mediators alike.
