Khentrul Rinpoche

We are delighted to announce that Khentrul Lodrö T’hayé Rinpoche will visit Dzogchen Beara for the first time to teach in our new temple this summer.

This is a rare opportunity to receive teachings from Rinpoche, who has kindly agreed to teach on the topic of The Heart Sutra.

The Heart Sutra is the Buddha’s quintessential teaching on wisdom. It elucidates the true nature of phenomena, just as it is, free of all elaborations. This profound teaching is a spiritual journey of the heart and mind that examines perceptions of the outer world and inner aspects of our very being.

Khentrul Rinpoche is one of very few people in the world to hold three khenpo degrees — the equivalent of three Ph.Ds — in Buddhist philosophy.

Rinpoche combines his profound knowledge of the Buddhist canon with an equally extensive capacity for presenting information with simplicity and clarity. He is an expert at extracting the meaning of a teaching, conveying it concisely, and supporting it with both logic and kindhearted humour.

Location

The retreat will be held in our new Dzogchen Beara Temple. With expansive views across the bay, the temple is a modern example of a traditional Tibetan monastery, a form of architecture designed to be an inspiring symbol of the Buddha’s teachings for our times

Catering

Delicious two course vegetarian lunches, with soup and bread in the evenings. Cooked with love at Dzogchen Beara, using homegrown and organic ingredients whenever possible. Tea and coffee.
