Intermediate Space: In the Bardos with Dzogchen

The Tibetan Book of the Dead is a powerful evocation of the experience of life after death. The Dzogchen atiyoga commentary upon the bardos, the intermediate space between death and rebirth, explodes the text's myth and symbol. While it provides an extraordinary shaman-based vision of after - death experience, its esoteric, secret, interpretation provides profound instruction on how to live in this lifetime, how to live the Dzogchen view - how to unite that view with meditation - how to recognize the nondual reality that underlies and permeates our ordinary mundane experience - how to assimilate non-discrimination.  At best, this atiyoga teaching upon the gap between death and rebirth enlightens our lives; at worst, it provides a passport to cross all mental borders.

BU SU KU Meditation Retreat

Trekcho/Togal – the main practice: 
 
three days of silent contemplation in the Dzogchen tradition.

Purpose: Intimacy with Rigpa  

Place: Convento Dominico San Luis Beltran: AGUA VIVA Amecameca
Time:  March 16th Friday Evening to18th  Monday Afternoon. 

Over several years in different forums I have been indicating the Dzogchen manner of being. Many of you have intuitively recognised this essential Dzogchen view and meditation as the natural state of being and as a result have become attached to Dzogchen. You may therefore treat this retreat as a celebration of what you already know.  But, rather, I am presenting it as a way of gaining greater familiarization with the pure presence, intrinsic awareness, rigpa, that Dzogchen has given us.

The schedule will be similar to our conventional Dzogchen seminars but with less instruction, more community sitting and added sitting sessions in solitude in our single occupancy cells.

The basic instruction is: Keep the body like a corpse, the voice like an unstrung violin, and the mind in awareness.  Sit comfortably without moving; do not speak, maintain a noble silence; recognise contemplation as a way of life. We will maintain non-action for three days; that means sitting in the turret of consciousness regardless of inaction or activity, but also doing nothing but eat, s leep, defecate, walk and sit.

In our view Trekcho and Togal are aspects of the same Dzogchen meditation modality—there is no ladder to climb; we practise the instructions for recognizing the different aspects of rigpa contemplation as a single movement.

This Rushen has become the best opportunity for Dzogchen practise scheduled in Europe. For those who have neither the experience nor the fortitude for the outer, the inner rushen can be practised. But the Bakony mountains with their deciduous forest provide an unexcelled sun-filled user-friendly environment for the outer rushen retreat. Everyone who attends will have had the Dzogchen pointing out instruction.
