SUMMARY:The Four Wheels of Yungdrung Bon with Drubdra Khenpo Rinpoche
DESCRIPTION:The Four Wheels of Yungdrung Bon\nand Dzogchen Meditation\nRetreat with Drubdra Khenpo Rinpoche\nAbbot of the Meditation School at Triten Norbutse\nThis teaching is the essential foundation for the methods and practices in Yungdrung Bön. Drubdra Khenpo Rinpoche will teach and guide us in this precious retreat. \nThe Four Wheels \nView from above: The philosophical view or wisdom perspective originates from the highest level – the ultimate truth\, emptiness\, or the nature of reality as seen by enlightened beings. \nConduct ascends from below: Our actual practice and behavior must start from the ground level and progress gradually upward. \nThe foundation is great compassion: Great compassion (mahākaruṇā) serves as the essential basis and motivation for the entire path. This is the heartfelt wish to free all sentient beings from suffering without exception. \nThe means are the ten pāramitās: The skillful methods for actualizing enlightenment are the ten pāramitās: generosity\, ethical discipline\, patience\, diligent effort\, meditative concentration\, wisdom\, skillful means\, aspiration/prayer\, spiritual power\, and primordial wisdom. These are the concrete practices that bridge our compassionate motivation with the ultimate realization. \nSchedule – Saturday and Sunday CST \n\n\n\nSession 1\n9:00-10:15 am\n\n\nBreak\n10:15-10:30 am\n\n\nSession 2\n10:30-11:30 am\n\n\n\n\nRetreat teachings and practices will be taught in English. \nLive translation will be available in Spanish\, Portuguese\, and Russian. \nWritten translations will be available in Spanish\, Portuguese\, and Russian. \n\nREGISTRATION: \nComplete payment below.  After payment is complete\, you will receive an email with links to the Zoom Registration and the Handouts.  All recordings will be made available to registered participants after the retreat is over at the same link as the Handouts. \nThere is early bird pricing available until noon the Saturday before the retreat. \nFinancial hardship need not prevent practitioners from attending Zoom teachings.  If you need assistance\, please inquire about available scholarships by emailing info@ligminchatexas.org.  This must be done at least 1 week prior to the retreat.\nWe have switched to using Zeffy.  This allows us to keep 100% of your donations and registrations\, as Zeffy does not charge us any payment processing fees.  They do\, however\, ask you to make a donation to them.  If you would prefer not to donate to Zeffy\, in the Donation Box at the bottom\, select “Other” from the Drop Down Box that is prefilled with a percentage and dollar amount \, and leave the Contribution Box empty. \n\n\nDrubdra Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin Rinpoche  \n Drubdra Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin was born in Yetha in the Hor region of East Tibet (Kham) in 1968 to a family of nomadic cattle herders. When he was nineteen\, he entered the Lungkar Monastery\, where he received teachings from lamas such as Uri Lama Nyima Lodrö and Lopön Drangsong Yungdrung. During this time\, Tsultrim Tenzin completed the traditional preliminary practices\, studied Tibetan grammar and poetry as well as various aspects of Bönpo philosophy. Tsultrim Tenzin served as umze\, chant master\, for three years in the Lungkar Monastery. \nAt the age of twenty-five\, he moved to Menri Monastery in Central Tibet where he studied with Pönlob Kalzang Nyima from whom he received teachings on Denö Dzö authored by Shardza Trashi Gyaltsen Rinpoche (1859-1935)\, and the A-Tri Bönpo Dzögchen manual\, and gained the experiential understanding of the Great Perfection. In 1993\, Tsultrim Tenzin made the arduous journey to Triten Norbutse Bönpo Monastery in Kathmandu\, Nepal\, to study intensively with his root Master Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche\, under whose guidance he deepened his knowledge of Sutra\, Tantra\, and Dzögchen. He also learnt astrology\, traditional Tibetan medicine\, and Sanskrit. \nWhile studying\, Tsultrim Tenzin served as the monastery’s chant master for six years\, and as Gekkö (master) disciplinarian for three years. After completing the 14-year study program\, he passed the Geshe examination in 2001 and received his Geshe degree (roughly equivalent to Doctor of Philosophy). \nThe following year\, in 2002\, Tsultrim Tenzin was appointed by Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche as Drubdra Khenpo\, Abbot of the Meditation School\, in Triten Norbutse Monastery. Since then\, he has been teaching Dzögchen in the meditation school there as well as Sutra\, Tantra\, Dzogchen\, astrology\, and mandala painting in the monastic dialectic school. \nAlongside teaching\, Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin Rinpoche has been practicing Dzögchen meditation and Ma Gyud Tsa Lung\, Trul Khor\, and Tummo for two hours every morning. He travels to Tibet\, China\, Japan\, Europe\, and England to teach Dzögchen\, Tantra\, and Tsa Lung.
