The course King of Aspiration & White Tara Empowerment, which heads this year’s Mönlam, ends with the empowerment for White Tara. The White Tara is one of the most famous female deities in Tibetan Buddhism and grants a long life.
To our great delight, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of the Kamalashila Institute, will give an Introduction to Tantra from November 2 to 3, 2019, based on the root text The Gradual Path of the Wisdom Essence by Guru Rinpoche with a commentary by Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thaye. This course is the prelude to a series of teachings that Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche will continue next year with deepening explanations of this text. With these valuable teachings Rinpoche offers us a wonderful opportunity to broaden our understanding of this profound subject.

Dzogchen and Mahamudra are harmoniously complementary. Their evocative styles offer us beautiful metaphors which can sweetly and poetically ease us out of our rigid concepts. During this retreat the focus will be on two texts, The Mirror of Luminous Revelation, a dzogchen treasure text from Nuden Dorje Drophen Lingpa Drolo Tsal, and The Mahamudra Upadesha by Tilopa. James Low’s deep insight into the Dzogchen and Mahamudra teachings, his winning presence, and his profound understanding of human psychology make him an exceptional teacher.
