Annual Dzogchen Teachings with Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche at Pema Khandro Ling
Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche will give five days of teachings on the Dzogchen practice of Trekchö, or "thoroughly cutting," in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
These teachings are open by invitation. If you have previously attended this annual Dzogchen retreat with Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche, you may register without inquiring. Other interested students that have finished at least half of a Vajrayana Ngondro may send an email to Khenpo Namchak Dorji at tulkusangngag@gmail.com requesting permission to attend. Please include your experience in the Vajrayana (teachers you have studied with, teachings received, retreats completed, etc.).
On Friday, May 10th, the center will open at 8:15 am and teachings will begin at 9 am. The retreat will conclude with tsog on Tuesday, May 14th around 5:00pm (or later). The daily schedule is tentatively planned for 9 am - Noon, and 2 pm - 5 pm but is subject to impermanence.
Retreat Cost: Sliding scale $300-$350. Please make a payment in accord with your means. Attendees must pay in advance before the first day of the retreat.
The text will be announced at the retreat and available at the center for purchase. If you have a copy of the Dzogchen prayer book, Cascade of Blessings and Namchak Ngondro, please bring them with you.
