Profound Simplicity: The Pith Instructions of Chögyam Trungpa

“Don’t wander!

Look at the nature of awareness.”   Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Chögyam Trungpa was a renowned dzogchen master while still a monk in Tibet. The depth and volume of his teachings from that time, diligently gathered by his nephew Karme Senge Rinpoche, have only recently come to light.

The root text for this one-day retreat is “Songs of Experience,” compiled and edited by the Nalanda Translation Committee. It has pith instructions and commentary for mahamudra and dzogchen practitioners,.

This retreat is open only to Vajrayana practitioners–those who have received transmission from a Kagyu or Nyingma lineage holder.  You are strongly encouraged to also attend the Deep Meditation retreat. Each day will include meditation, instruction and discussion.

The root text, “Songs of Experience,” is recommended but not required. It is a small booklet available for $12. 

Notify Elizabeth at [email protected] before September 20 if you wish to purchase a copy.

Vajrayana students who also register for the Deep Meditation Retreat can pay a combined price of $250 for both retreats.
