Tibetan Royal Year 2148

May this year bring peace, happiness, and realization for all beings!

Celebrate the Tibetan New Year of the Metal Ox – Tibetan Royal Year 2147!

Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche will lead online practice from Padma Samye Ling, from 3:30 – 6:00 pm.

We will gather online to celebrate the Mahaparinirvana anniversary of Longchenpa with Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche on Sunday, Jan. 31, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm EST.

Longchenpa (1308–1364) was a major teacher in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. Along with Sakya Pandita and Je Tsongkhapa, he is commonly recognized as one of the three main manifestations of Manjushri to have taught in Central Tibet. His major work is the Seven Treasures, which encapsulates the previous 600 years of Buddhist thought in Tibet. Longchenpa was a critical link in the exoteric and esoteric transmission of the Dzogchen teachings. He was abbot of Samye, one of Tibet’s most important monasteries and the first Buddhist monastery established in the Himalaya, but spent most of his life traveling or in retreat.

The Vital Point of Mind: Pith Instructions on the Vital Point of Mind that Reveal the Buddha Right in the Palm of Your Hand

by the Great Master Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche

Taught by Nyingma Scholar & Meditation Master Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche

Webcast Live from Padma Samye Ling

January 16 – 23 (Saturday to Saturday) – Times are EST

10:00 am – 12:00 noon — Instructions & Practice

3:30 – 6:00 pm — Healing Practice & Dzogchen Meditation

As a way to continue our Annual PBC Florida Winter Retreat, Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Rinpoche will confer special Dzogchen teachings by Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche on the importance of relying on lineage masters to fully discover and realize the Dzogchen view of self-liberated awareness. Once you’re introduced to your true nature through the blessings of the lineage and your root teacher, in combination with your buddha-nature and its radiant qualities, those with opportunity and great fortune to put these pith instructions into practice will break through the delusions of samsara and nirvana.

During the 2021 Winter Dzogchen Retreat webcast live from Padma Samye Ling, Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche will impart the heart essence of Dzogchen Pith Instructions according to the stainless wisdom lineage of the great master Mipham Rinpoche. These are direct pointing out instructions on how to discover enlightened awareness this very moment.

Mipham Rinpoche’s root text will be available to participants as a free download.

Mipham Rinpoche (1846-1912) was a great Nyingma scholar, meditation master, and author of the 20th century. Blessed by Manjushri, he became one of the greatest scholars of his time, and was a devoted student of Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo Rinpoche, and Patrul Rinpoche. Mipham Rinpoche had an enormous impact in re-awakening a deep reverence and interest in the Nyingma and Dzogchen teachings. Three hundred and twenty-two of his Dharma texts have survived. In addition to these, he composed more than thirty-five books on a range of subjects including medicine, poetry (particularly the Gesar epics), logic, cosmology, astrology and divination, alchemy, painting and sculpture, engineering, and both extensive and pithy commentaries on the Sutras and Tantras of Buddha Shakyamuni and Guru Padmasambhava.

Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche brings these teachings vividly to life with practical, pithy advice that goes straight to the heart and inspires us all to use this precious opportunity for the great and lasting benefit of all beings.

Registration is required to access this retreat.
