How a Dzogchen yogi may go astray

19th October 2025

This short teaching by Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, given in 1999, explains how a practitioner of Dzogchen should behave, and how to recognise when a yogi has gone astray. “The Action-less Path of Entering into Nature i)             If you say: ‘This is Great Perfection and so it doesn’t matter what I do, I can do whatever I like!’ then you are a yogi who has completely gone astray. ii)            If…

Prière à Lachen Drenpa Namkha désormais disponible en français / Prayer to Lachen Drenpa Namkha now available in French

12th October 2025

Cette prière est imprégnée d’une grande profondeur de sens et se termine par le mantra du cœur de Drenpa Namkha. De nombreux grands lamas considèrent Yongdzin Rinpoché comme une émanation de Drenpa Namkha, c’est pourquoi il est particulièrement propice que Rinpoché lui-même ait traduit cette prière en anglais pour nous. Khenchen Tenpa Yungdrung a conseillé à la sangha internationale de réciter ce mantra du cœur autant que possible pendant les 49 jours suivant le décès de Yongdzin Rinpoché (12 juin 2025), et même pendant le reste de notre vie. Suivant ce conseil, nous mettons désormais ce livret de prières à…

Steps for Morning Meditation – New Booklet by Yongdzin Rinpoche

21st August 2025

Dzogchen is the highest, most esoteric path within the Nine Vehicles of Yungdrung Bön and many are eager to study its methods. However, if we are not properly prepared for these powerful teachings, instead of opening the door to total liberation, they may become poison for us. Yongdzin Rinpoche taught these Steps for Morning Meditation in Wels, Austria, in 1995 as a preamble before he began teaching on the Eight Chapters, Zhang Zhung Nyengyu, Secret Cycle. As he said then, this is an effective way to prepare ourselves for receiving Dzogchen teachings and practising this View. When Rinpoche passed into…
