Jigme Lingpa Deep Wisdom 2019
The word Chӧ means to cut or sever. In this vital and uniquely Tibetan practice, we seek direct encounters with wisdom. In particular, we cut through our worst fears and obstructions and dissolve them into wisdom. We sing, we drum, we raise wisdom energy in ourselves and each other. Ad.zom Rinpoche has given us his framework for further empowering Jigme Lingpa’s words, and he emphasized the
power of Chӧ to deepen our realization at this time in Dzogchen Cycles.
