Saturday, October 18 and Sunday, October 19; Saturday, October 25 and Sunday, October 26 2008 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM ADVANCED REGISTRATION REQUIRED DUE TO SPACE LIMITATIONS Nangjang was revealed by Dudjom Lingpa, a great visionary, terton and meditation master who lived and taught in the Golok region of Eastern Tibet in the 19th century. In this text he presents the view of Dzog Chen through the practice of Trek Chod ("cutting through solidity"). Among Tibetans the Nangjang is a standard text for training in this practice. Dudjom Lingpa's rebirth, the late HH Dudjom Rinpoche said of it, "The Nang-jang was prepared as an inexhaustible treasure trove of the gift of the Buddha's teachings, the relics of the dharmakaya." An excellent translation by Richard Barron, including the original Tibetan text, is available from Tibetan Treasures. All events EXCEPT PUBLIC TALK will take place at: Nyingma Palyul Dharma Center Public Talk is at Judson Memorial Church, 239 Thompson, Manhattan Suggested donation is $30 for the October 18 morning session and $200 for the full two Nangjang Weekends.

Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche
Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso has received all of the major lineage empowerments and transmissions of the Nyingmapa school, including the Dudjom Tersar from Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche; the Longchen Nyingthig Yabshi, and Nyingma Kama from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche; and the Rinchen Terdzod and Nam Chos from Pema Norbu Rinpoche. He has done intensive dzogchen practice under the guidance of Penor Rinpoche and other eminent masters including Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche and Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche. Pema Norbu Rinpoche has authorized him to represent the monastery and to teach, to confer empowerments and to give personal instruction in Buddhist practice. Khen Rinpoche has traveled and taught extensively in America, in Taiwan, and among the overseas Chinese communities in Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. His open, direct and thorough style of teaching has been very well received. He recently gave the empowerment of the Gyud Sangwai Nyingpo (Guhyagarbha Tantra) followed by extensive teachings on Mipham Rinpoche's commentary, Odsal Nyingpo. This was the first time that this fundamental Nyingma tantra was explained in such great detail in the USA. |
