Natural Compassion

Ögyen yul, this green and pleasant land, is the place where we find what we have lost – the nondual state. We cannot find it with concept.
—Ngak’chang Rinpoche

Ngak’chang Rinpoche will teach on the practice of Dorje Tsigdun – the Seven-line Song of Padmasambhava, also known as the Seven Thunderbolt Phrases. This practice functions at many levels, describing Mahayoga, Anuyoga, Atiyoga, Dzogchen Trek-chod and Dzogchen Togal. Rinpoche will discuss the outer, inner, and secret symbolic meaning and give transmission of the practice of sound, in terms of Dzogchen men-ngag-dé ‘mere indication’. Dorje Tsigdun is a complete path, and realization can be achieved by practicing only this – if you understand it, and if you have devotion to your Lama. With the unimpeded arising of natural bodhicitta, we experience the energy of ecstatic appreciation which connects us all.
