This rare 10-day retreat will focus exclusively on Rushen, the preliminary practices from “The Vajra Essence” (Neluk Rangjung) — the most extensive of Dudjom Lingpa’s five Dzogchen treatises. Tulku Thadral Rinpoche will teach this foundational section in depth, offering direct guidance on recognizing and resting in the nature of mind.
Though The Vajra Essence presents a complete path to awakening, this retreat will concentrate on Rushen as the essential ground for genuine Dzogchen practice. With Rinpoche’s guidance, students will have the chance to develop clarity and stability that supports deeper realization.
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.”
