SUMMARY:Finding Unshakeable Certainty
DESCRIPTION:Finding Unshakeable Certainty\nWeekend Teachings with Khenpo Tashi \nHighlights from the Beacon of Certainty by Mipham Rinpoche \nWhat is our practice actually built on? \nMany of us have spent years on the path: meditating\, deepening compassion\, engaging in Vajrayana practice\, receiving profound teachings that have inspired and transformed us. Yet at a certain point\, questions like this begin to arise. What are we truly recognizing in meditation? How do we distinguish genuine understanding from concepts\, experiences\, or passing states? \nThe great masters of the Nyingma tradition understood that these questions cannot be answered through faith alone. They require investigation\, reflection\, and a View that becomes clear through our own experience. \nFor these teachings\, Khenpo Tashi draws on selected highlights from The Beacon of Certainty by Mipham Rinpoche\, a profound text of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Structured around essential questions of view and meditation\, the text guides practitioners with remarkable precision through the relationship between appearance and emptiness\, analysis and direct experience\, understanding and realization. \nDeeply grounded in the lineage of Longchenpa and Mipham Rinpoche\, Khenpo Tashi has a rare ability to make these teachings feel immediate and alive\, revealing how they relate directly to our own path and experience. \nThese teachings are open to all practitioners with a grounding in meditation and Lojong. Whether you are newer to the philosophical dimension of the Dharma or a long-time practitioner seeking a firmer foundation beneath your practice\, they offer something increasingly rare: the opportunity to develop a clear and stable confidence in the View\, one that can genuinely support the path in every circumstance. \nThe retreat will include periods of silence including during tea breaks and some meal times \nLocation\nThe 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.

SUMMARY:Background to the Dzogchen Pith Instructions
DESCRIPTION:Background to the Dzogchen Pith Instructions Part 1\nPart One \nAt the heart of the Dzogchen teachings taught by Sogyal Rinpoche\, are the extraordinary pith instructions on trekchö that he received from Nyoshul Khenpo Jamyang Dorje.
