This rare 10-day retreat will focus on teachings and practice based on “The Vajra Essence” (Neluk Rangjung), the most extensive of Dudjom Lingpa’s five major Dzogchen treatises. Tulku Thadral Rinpoche will guide students through key points of this profound text, offering direct instructions on recognizing and resting in the nature of mind.
The Vajra Essence is a complete path to awakening that presents the view, meditation, and conduct of Dzogchen in their most refined form. With Rinpoche’s guidance, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Great Perfection and cultivate stability in meditation.
As Lama Sonam Rinpoche says:
“Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche recognized Tulku Thadral Rinpoche and said many times how he is really different from other tulkus and will be of great benefit to sentient beings. All of the lamas see him as a precious jewel… He is a bodhisattva.” [Read his biography here.]
