DC24: Longchenpa’s Sevenfold Mind-Training for Dzogchen
Dzogchen, the Great Completeness, is famous for introducing us to the wholeness of our existence. Even though we often feel pulled in so many directions, life feels anything but whole, and very far from awakening. Dzogchen practice shows us a wholeness, a groundless ground, we can never lose. We learn that humans and buddhas are simply types of experiences, sharing the same ground.
This retreat takes you to the heart of training in wholeness, moving from the most fundamental teachings of buddhism to discover that there is no barrier between ordinary and awakened states.
We welcome those of you taking the course for the first time, and also those of you uncovering new depths of these trainings in your practice.
