Special Summer Two-Week Online Retreat
'The Seven Mirrors of Dzogchen' with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
Join us online for a special Summer Retreat with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche starting June 20. "The Seven Mirrors of Dzogchen" is a powerful heart-essence teaching from the Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition. It offers a direct introduction to the clear, open awareness of our true nature as well as methods for maintaining the recognition of who we truly are.
Everyone from around the world is invited to participate in this special two-week online summer retreat, beginning June 20 and ending July 3, 2020. You may attend Week 1, Week 2 or both weeks. Flexible pricing with four levels of choice is available so that as many people as possible can attend, and further financial aid will be available upon request.
Week 1: June 20–26 (begins June 20 at 10 a.m. and ends June 26 at 1 p.m., Eastern – New York time)
Week 2: June 27–July 3 (begins June 27 with 8 a.m. practice and ends July 3 at 1 p.m., Eastern – New York time)
The seven mirrors are:
The heart mirror of the view
The heart mirror of the meditation
The heart mirror of the result
The heart mirror of conduct
The heart mirror that explains the pure realms and lands of samsara
The heart mirror of sixfold consummation
The heart mirror that explains the benefit of meeting with this teaching
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will lead us through the essence of the Seven Mirrors, beginning with the view of dzogchen, known as “the great perfection.” There are no prerequisites for attending these teachings.
Online Auction, Sacred Dance and More
This retreat is sponsored by Serenity Ridge Retreat Center, headquarters of Ligmincha International, and supported by Ligmincha. With the closure of Serenity Ridge to visitors and retreatants since March, we have found much support in our rapidly growing online community. The virtual spring retreat saw about 900 registrations, and we expect a large number of participants for this special summer retreat.
This summer we hope to present as much of the retreat experience as we can. This includes a special online fundraising auction June 23–July 7. (See the article below.) Also as part of the online retreat experience we will have a performance of sacred dance and music the second week of the retreat. Special links for the auction and musical event will be sent to all who participate in either week of the retreat. We also are working on more surprises for this retreat. Special guests are being invited to join us, and we hope to provide other activities and materials to support everyone’s experience in positive ways.
Live simultaneous translation in Spanish, Polish, Russian, Portuguese, German, French, Slovak and Hungarian will be available for both weeks. A Korean translation, while not in real time, will be available within a day of each teaching. Additional languages will be announced as they are added.
