Heart Drops of Kuntu Zangpo
Serenity Ridge Spring Retreat with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
Join Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche in person at Serenity Ridge or online on Zoom for this special retreat on Heart Drops of Kuntu Zangpo. This core dzogchen teaching, also known as Heart Drops of Dharmakaya, provides methods for introducing the nature of the mind, which remains hidden behind clouds of thoughts and emotions until a master directly points out the source, the essence, the Heart Drop. This is the method of direct introduction to dzogchen, the highest and most subtle path of meditation in Bon.
Heart Drops of Kuntu Zangpo was composed by Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen (1859-1935), a Tibetan master who achieved the rainbow body. He was one of the most influential teachers of his time, and his works are still used as textbooks in many Tibetan monasteries.
These are meditation methods that help the practitioner free the stories, memories, fears and anxieties that bind, allowing the discovery of the freedom and infinite potentiality of one's natural mind.
A translation of Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen's text, and commentary on these essential teachings by Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, is presented in the book Heart Drops of Dharmakaya. Yongdzin Rinpoche is widely revered as the greatest living dzogchen master of the Bon lineage. A translation of the root text by Geshe Sonam Gurung and Dan Brown, Heart Drops of Kun tu bZang Po, also is available from Ligmincha's Bookstore & Tibet Shop at the link above.
