Weekend Retreat @ 4winds

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

Outer Rushen Retreat

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 Dzogchen Atiyoga 

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.

Tomacoco
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.
