Lama Pema Dorje Rinpoche will give step-by-step meditation instructions on His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche’s Vajrakilaya Namchak Putri Trekchod commentary.
These instructions, together with the requisite meditation practice, provide an unparalleled opportunity for the student to gain stability in meditation under the guidance of a genuine and experienced meditation master.
"Namchak Putri is actually the king of all the collections of Vajrakilaya tantras from Tibet as it is a complete treasure cycle from ngöndro to the Togal clear light teachings. It is very rare to get the complete trekchod teachings from a completely qualified practitioner lama such as Lama Pema Dorje Rinpoche. To receive this kind of teaching requires many positive circumstances and conditions coming together and therefore it is very precious.” Lama Sonam Tsering Rinpoche
The retreat will start with a couple of days of rushen practice, to integrate those who have not completed a formal rushen retreat, before the actual trekchod teachings will begin. Rushen (or Khor-de Rushen) is the special preliminary practice for Dzogchen, where the student experientially learns to extract the essence of nirvana from the gross phenomena of samsara.
