In 2025, Lama Sangye starts a new cycle of Dzogchen teachings, based on Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen Rinpoche's last work, the Dzogchen cycle "Experiential Teachings Sealed in the Heart".
Shardza Rinpoche composed several cycles of Dzogchen instructions, among them the famous Kusum Rangshar, and Kunzang Nyingtig (also known as heartdrops of Dharmakaya).
The very last Dzogchen text that Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen Rinpoche wrote, and which accordingly sums up his whole life's experience, is entitled "Experiential Teachings Sealed in the Heart". Lama Sangye has repeatedly remarked that he feels these are Shardza Rinpoche's most profound Dzogchen instructions.
The text does not start with preliminary practices (Ngondro) - these are the subject of Kalong Gyamtso - but with general principles, such as "listening, thinking, practicing". Then comes introdution to natural state...
Lama Sangye will go through the entire text line by line, commenting on it as he reads. That is, he teaches in the traditional style, in Tibetan (and will be interpreted into English).
Translations into various languages (Spanish, German, Russian, Italian, Hungarian, ...) can probably be organized for the online sessions, if we know early enough (ca two weeks in advance) that such translation channels are wanted. Please send requests as early as possible to contact@yeshesalling.org (Petra).
In addition to receiving 4 hours of teachings per day, we will have two meditation sessions every day during the week of Lama Sangye's teachings.
Prerequisites: Lama Sangye Monlam's Dzogchen teachings are most suited to practitioners who have already practiced Ngondro extensively. Beginners are allowed to participate provided they commit to practicing Ngondro.
