Introduction to Radical Dzogchen
The Great Garuda in Flight
"The Eye of the
Storm": Vairotsana's Tantras
The Garuda hatches fully fledged and immediately
spreads its wings and soars endlessly on the natural wind currents with
complete mastery of the elements. The Great Garuda in Flight is the
title of one of
the first five Dzogchen tantras to be translated into Tibetan. These
five tantras provide the essence of the radical atiyoga Dzogchen view
that takes us immediately to the centre of the Dzogchen mandala of
non-meditation
.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead's mythic
symbols and relates them to the here and now.
At best, the teaching upon the gap between
death and rebirth enlightens our lives; at worst, Dzogchen is a passport to cross all borders.

The
Bones of Dzogchen
Dzogchen stripped down to its original unelaborated quintessence, vision as the twenty-four hour meditation, non-cultural Buddhism,
with experience of the nature of mind: this is the Dzogchen
forged in the Outer Rushen Retreat.
The theme of the retreat is the vast space of
Vajrasattva in which all our partial experience is completed, all
conditioned cultural attachments transcended, all personal
insufficiencies requited.
Those yogis yoginis with previous Rushen experience warmly invited and
others firmly committed to the Dzogchen view welcomed. International
guests also warmly welcomed

The Four Bardos in the Light of

The Tibetan Book of the Dead is a powerful evocation of the experience
after death. The Dzogchen atiyoga commentary opens up the text's mythic
symbols and relates them to the here and now. At best, the atiyoga
teaching upon the gap between death and rebirth enlightens our lives;
at worst, it provides a passport to cross all borders.

POINTING AT THE NATURE OF MIND
Saturday July 10th - Sunday July 11th
Place: to be announced
All the vast literature of Dzogchen,
all its instruction in view and meditation, can be realised in the
recognition of the nature of mind and its message can be essentialised
in the pointing finger which in this seminar will be Longchenpa's
Chilling Out in Enchantment (Gyuma'i Ngalso). We'll then do the atiyoga meditations Longchenpa
prescribes in his text and rehearse Rigzin Garab Dorje's Three Precepts
in that light.

Pointing
at the Nature of Mind
Dzogchen is the essence of Tibetan Tantra and if the veil of Tibetan
culture is lifted from it what remains is the (non)meditation of the
twenty-first century. This seminar introduces what is known as radical
Dzogchen by means of a finger pointed at the nature of mind. Garab
Dorje's three word instruction is the core of the teaching and
Longchenpa's Maya Yoga (Gyumai Ngalso). We'll do the atiyoga meditations Longchenpa
prescribes in his text and rehearse Rigzin Garab Dorje's Three Precepts
in that light.

Outer Rushen Retreat
Sat Aug 28 - Mon Sept 6th
Outer Rushen is unique to Dzogchen praxis. It may
provide the opening up that years of conventional Buddhist meditation
cannot deliver. It is designed to cut through obstacles to
experiential realisation of the nature of mind. The Tibetan tradition demanded that individuals or couples
lived out in the mountain wilderness alone for weeks or months.
Although this is still the ideal mode of practice, the difficulties of
finding secluded wilderness and a solitary place have
resulted in the type of Outer Ruzhen Retreat in a controlled area
where we are free to express ourselves without inhibition and without
interference.
Many people missed having the Outer Rushen
in 2009. We start again a new cycle in 2010. Anyone with an unconditional commitment to Dzogchen
is welcome. For those who have this
qualification but find the Outer Ruzhen
practice beyond their
capacity, the Inner Ruzhen practices may be done instead in this
secluded environment. The schedule for each day provides an optimal
amount of time in solitude and attendance at the Dzogchen presentation and
communal meals is voluntary.

Dzogchen Through the Four
Bardos
The Dzogchen atiyoga commentary opens up
The Tibetan Book of the Dead's mythic
symbols and relates them to the here and now.
At best, the teaching upon the gap between death and rebirth enlightens our lives; at worst, Dzogchen is a
passport to cross all borders. We shall begin by rehearsing the basic
principles of Dzogchen with Garab Dorje's Three Word Testimony. Then
sitting in the Dzogchen meditations specific to the bardo of the moment
of death and to the bardo of our nature we use the secret bardo material
as a blueprint for our lives.
