Plus Two Additional Retreats in Crestone, Colorado This September
Here are the details for Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's upcoming A-tri Dzogchen, Part 3 retreat in Crestone, Colorado in person and on Zoom September 15-17. As well, there will be two other retreats to be held immediately prior to and after the A-tri retreat: Sacred Art Calligraphy with Lama Kalsang Nyima, in person only, and A-tri Practice Retreat with Geshe Denma Gyaltsen, in person and on Zoom.
September 15-17, 2023: A-tri Dzogchen, Part 3 with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, both in person and on Zoom
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will continue teaching on the A-tri cycle of pith dzogchen teachings, based on teachings by the 13th century master Drugyalwa Yungdrung. The A-tri cycle is a unique step-by-step system to introduce and deepen one's realization through the path of dzogchen. Based on the ancient Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud, it introduces preliminary practices, the nature of mind, and then progressively demonstrates how to deepen one's practice and understanding until ultimate liberation.
The retreat will be offered in person from Camino Baca Grande in Crestone and also online on Zoom for those who cannot attend in person. Those who were not able to attend Parts 1 & 2 of this cycle will have access to video recordings of those teachings and be able to review them prior to this retreat after paying the registration fee. Geshe Denma Gyaltsen of Ligmincha Texas will act as the umdze (meditation leader) at the retreat.
