Dzogchen Cycles: Guru Yoga
March 7-9 2025
Even if you compare it with the teachings of all nine vehicles, you will never find a path more profound than guru yoga. Though it may be classified as a preliminary or foundational practice, it is in fact the final key point of all of the main practices’ paths, a royal road to coming into attunement with one’s natural realization. Jigme Lingpa, who had his transformative visionary encounter with Guru Rinpoche, is the root source of Guru Yoga teachings for the Heart Essence, Vast Expanse (Longchen Nyingthig).
This Guru Yoga, the focus of our retreat, is Jigme Lingpa’s own text, which crowns the Foundational Practice Ngondro, revealed by him.
In this teaching, he takes the opportunity to refresh our appreciation of lineage, details the steps of initiation relevant to the entire path, and augurs the sacred and unique Dzogchen paths for which these practices provide the foundation.
At the same time, whatever other practices you might already have in connection with Guru Rinpoche, Jigme Lingpa’s work can enrich them, including those of you already familiar with Adzom Rinpoche’s Becoming Guru Rinpoche practice.
The final and ultimate method for giving rise in your mindstream to the wisdom of realization are instructions on guru yoga.
