An Introduction to Dzogchen Meditation with Khenpo Nyima Dhondup Rinpoche
May 18-19, 2025
Discover the transformative power of dzogchen meditation in an immersive two-day retreat May 18-19 with Khenpo Nyima Rinpoche, the Abbot of the Dialectic School of Menri Monastery. This retreat will be held in-person at Serenity Ridge and online on Zoom.
Rooted in the ancient Tibetan Bon Buddhist tradition, Dzogchen, or the "Great Perfection," is a profound practice that focuses on recognizing and resting in the natural state of mind, often described as naked awareness or luminous clarity. Dzogchen has the power to transform ordinary perceptions of the world and our self from a fragmented, stress-filled outlook to one of unity and tranquility. Integrating this form of meditation into one's daily life can reduce stress and anxiety, improve our emotional resilience, and create a greater ability to remain present and centered amidst life's challenges. Ultimately it is a path to complete realization, or Buddhahood.
