Seminar/Retreat
The Importance of Dying
Place: Casa de Ejercicios
Espirituales de Puente Grande,
Date: February Friday 10th to Sunday 13th
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.

Time:

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.

Outer Rushen
Retreat
Ráktanya
Cottage near Hárskút in the Bakony mountain area
Monday May 21st -Thursday May 31st
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.
