Four Samayas of Dzogchen and Thirteen Points of Tantra
New Book by Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche
With great pleasure and with the permission and encouragement of Yongdzin Rinpoche, today FPYB are releasing a new book of teachings for serious students of Bönpo Dzogchen.
Four Samayas of Dzogchen and Thirteen Points of Tantra: Teachings by Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche on Zhang Zhung Nyengyu and Nyamgyu Dringpo Sorzhag contains teachings by three Zhang Zhung Nyengyu Lineage Masters: Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche himself, Mu Shotram Chenpo and Pönchen Lhundrub Muthur on essential points of Dzogchen as well as an explanation of the Content of Thirteen Sessions of Tantra which have been included here for comparison.
As Yongdzin Rinpoche himself says:
“Usually people say that Dzogchen is very free, that you can do whatever you like. Maybe some teachers can say this but according to the text I am teaching from, if you make a mistake with any of these points then what you are doing is not right. So from time to time you need to check and keep all these. If you don’t check from the beginning then you are just pretending to be a dzogchenpa but in fact you can easily fall into what we describe as Seven or Ten Mistaken Points of the Dzogchen View. You think that you are practising Dzogchen but the result is not Dzogchen at all; it is your own view. So you cannot be sure where you are or what the result will be.
The Dzogchen samaya is to keep the right view, so if you follow any of these conceptual points that is your own view, not perfect Dzogchen.”
This book is restricted to those who have attended at least three Bönpo Dzogchen retreats in person (not via Internet). As usual, if you wish to order a copy, please complete the ORDER FORM below and we will then send you a direct order link.

Hi, the current Captcha with the geometric shapes does not work with chrome/brave browser on mac.
I was writing to inquire about Four Samayas of Dzogchen. I live in North Carolina, USA. I have attended trainings from Tempa Lama at Olmo Ling, H.E. Menri Ponlob Rinpoche at Gyaltsen institute. Also I have been studying Dzogchen in depth since at least 2023 having trainings in Nyingma from Khandro Rinpoche and Tulku Thadral Rinpoche. I am very familiar with trekcho and have signs manifesting. Given the geographic/travel challenges, I hope you will consider in the future to relax the requirements for in person trainings in order to obtain your materials. Perhaps a screening questionarie can help qualify those individuals who are sincere on the path. Thank you.
