Kunsang Dechen Lingpa Teachings in Vermont

The Nyingtig Yabshi or "Four Cycles of the Heart Essence" was compiled by Longchen Rabjam (1308-1363) and contains the quintessential Dzogchen Empowerments and practice instructions of both Padmasambhava and Vimalamitra. These transmissions contain detailed instructions on the practices of Trecho "cutting through fixation" and Thogal "surpassing the peak" and have rarely ever been given in the West or even Tibet. Due to his vast kindness and compassion Ven. Kunsang Dechen Lingpa is offering this inconceivable blessing for practitioners committed to the path of Dzogchen.

Rinpoche is a terton or "treasure revealer" of the Nyingmapa tradition. Born in 1929 in Lhodak Dakar, Tibet, he was recognized by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche as the Lodhak Terton, the reincarnation of Terton Longsel Nyingpo, of the Drubchen Melong Dorje lineage. Rinpoche is renowned for his "pure vision" treasure revelations of Dorje Drollo, Troma Nagmo and many others he directly received from Padmasambhava. In these times of rampant degeneration. Rinpoche's teachings illuminate and dispel the darkness of ignorance, delusion and suffering.

Ven. Kunsang Dechen Lingpa personifies wisdom, compassion, spiritual power, integrity and delight in life. For committed practitioners, this is a rare opportunity to receive this direct transmission from a fully realized master who embodies the heart essence of Dzogchen Atiyoga.

The Nyingtig Yabshi will be given in nine sessions from December 30 - January 5th 2003 in Bristol, Vermont.
