INTERMEDIATE STATES
Dzogchen Monastery Retreat
Dzogchen Monastery, South India
3rd to 13th January 2016
In this auspicious retreat at Dzogchen Monastery, the heart of one of the highest lineages in Tibetan Buddhism, His Eminence the 7th Dzogchen Rinpoche, Jigme Losel Wangpo, will continue his cycle of teachings on the bardos, the four intermediate states of life and death and how we can use them as an opportunity for liberation and even enlightenment.
Dzogchen Rinpoche will teach on the experiences during death and give us practical methods so that we can prepare for this moment and will know what to do, being able to go through this experience peacefully rather than having fear.
In this context, Dzogchen Rinpoche will also continue his teachings on the mandala of the 100 peaceful and wrathful deities, familiarising us with the visions we will experience in the intermediate state after death so we will be able to use this time as an opportunity for liberation into the samboghakaya.
Moreover, Dzogchen Rinpoche will introduce knowledge and skilful means that can already let the last moments of our life become an opportunity for full enlightenment, rather than going through the experience of death at all, thus giving us the choice between life and death! This wisdom and practice is held by the Dzogchen lineage only and makes this retreat an especially rare opportunity.
New students are welcome to apply for the retreat and there will be opportunities to discuss and revise the teachings so that they are accessible for all.
