About the Origins of Lusang

20th December 2025

In ancient times there was a man in our Yungdrung Bön tradition called Lubön Yeshe Nyingpo.[1] He is neither sambhogakaya nor nirmanakaya,[2] but a great practitioner. Like you.

How a Dzogchen yogi may go astray

19th October 2025

Many people think that practising Dzogchen is simple, that it is a path of non-meditation where there is nothing to do and we can behave however we like.
