NEW BOOK: Two Dzogchen Texts from KUSUM RANGSHAR, Oral Teachings by Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak

Yongdzin Lopӧn Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche gave these oral teachings on two Dzogchen texts from Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen’s Kusum Rangshar in 1999 in Paris. Now, twenty-five years later, the international Bönpo sangha has grown exponentially but, since Yongdzin Rinpoche has now retired from teaching, many newer practitioners may never have met or received teachings from him.

These oral teachings by Yongdzin Rinpoche contain concise, detailed and lucid instructions on all the fundamental topics of the Dzogchen Path of…

Prayer & Offering to Lamhla, Goddess of the Path

Based on teachings and explanations by Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak, Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung and Geshe Gelek Jinpa given 1995–2006 In both Bön and Buddhist texts alike, it is generally said that our universe is flat. However, as everything appears to sentient beings through the ripening of their karma, there is in fact no such thing as a fixed shape or a fixed universal perception; we can see different forms. At one time the universe is explained as being flat but the Yungdrung Bön texts also say that in some cases the form of the universe is seen as very long…
