Bon Dzogchen Todgal Teaching and Transmission 

In this special two-weekend teaching, Tempa Dukte Lama will give the teaching and transmission of the heart essence of Todgal practice of Bon Dzogchen. He will be drawing on both the teaching of the Six Lamps from the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud Dzogchen lineage and selected teachings on Todgal from other Bon Dzogchen lineages.  

The main practice of Dzogchen is Todgal and Trekchod. Trekchod is the practice of stabilizing the nature of the mind or intrinsic awareness and remaining in it without distraction or modification. Todgal is the subsequent development of vision practice in Dzogchen. The teachings on Todgal point out where intrinsic awareness abides, which path it follows, through which door it exits, and in what form it appears.

Participants will receive teachings and instruction on:

  • Todgal as the heart essence of Bon Dzogchen according to different Bon Dzogchen transmissions
  • How to develop the Todgal visions
  • The Six Lamps from the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud and how to use them as a skillful means to actualize the ultimate realization of Buddhahood.
