26th May 2025

Drubdra Khenpo flies back to Triten Norbutse tomorrow after two intense weeks of teachings, transmissions, meditation and rituals. Our heartfelt thanks for his great generosity! Italy It was Khenpo’s second visit to Tuscany co-hosted by Paola Malatesta and we were happy to welcome many old students as well as several new ones. Khenpo taught from Yongdzin Rinpoche’s commentary on the Prayer to Tapihritsa by Gurub Nangzher Lӧpo which he began last year and led morning and evening meditation sessions. On the last day, he surprised us by giving many lung-transmissions. We are already looking forward to the next Italian retreat,…

8th September 2024

རྫོགས་པ་ཆེན་པོ་ཞང་ཞུང་སྙན་རྒྱུད་ལས་ཕྱི་ལྟ་བ་སྤྱི་གཅོད་ཀྱི་མན་ངག་ལེའུ་བཅུ་གཉིས་པ་ལས།། རྣམ་རྟོག་ཐོལ་གྱིས་སྐྱེས་པ་དེ། །གཅེར་གྱིས་ལྟས་པས་ཁྲོལ་གྱིས་གྲོལ། །གཏད་མེད་ཡེ་ཤེས་ས་ལེ་བ། །ཐོད་རྒལ་ཡེཤེས་བྱ་བ་ཡིན། “Suddenly a thought appears. Look back, and watcher, watched and watching liberate by themselves into their own nature. In this instant, your Dzogchen awareness appears clearly to you. That is Direct Wisdom.” This quotation is just four sentences, but they are very, very important. We believe these words first appeared from Kuntu Zangpo. From: Drubdra Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin. How to Practise Dzogchen in Daily Life: Teachings by Drubdra Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin in Triten Norbutse Monastery, Kathmandu, on the occasion of Yongdzin Rinpoche’s 95th birthday, February 2020 (UK: FPYB, 2021), p. 6.

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

5th May 2024

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.

The Importance of Mt. Kailash in the Bön Religion

31st March 2022

Abstract: Being the most important sacred geographical feature of Zhang Zhung and Tibet, Mt. Kailash was venerated by Bönpos of various creeds from times immemorial. In this talk I will firstly give a brief discourse on the four types of Bön religions to set the scene. I will then examine how the Dhami tradition of Humla, Nepal is connected to the Kailash region. The rest of the talk will focus on the role Mt. Kailash plays in Yungdrung Bön teachings and history: the meaning of its name in the Zhang Zhung language; Mt. Kailash and Lake Mapang as la-receptacles of…
