While in Menri Monastery last month, we were able to visit the wonderful library there. As well as a full collection of Tibetan pecha texts, including some old manuscripts, the library also holds a wide selection of books in English.

Dzogchen Teaching Retreat in Tuscany, 4th-6th October (and possibly 7th)

The Supplication Prayer to Lord Tapihritsa contains a very condense explanation on the Base, Path and Fruit as well as the View, Meditation and Conduct of Dzogchen. In this commentary, the current Zhang Zhung Nyengyu Lineage Holder Yongdzin Rinpoche unwraps layers of meaning contained in the prayer and provides lucid explanations on these topics. We are truly fortunate that an erudite Bönpo lama, Drubdra Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin, a heart disciple of Yongdzin Rinpoche, has kindly agreed to give teachings on this text, which are offered for the first time in the West.
