ACCOMPLISHMENT: Unveil Your Awakened Nature
Description
With Trungram Gyalwa Rinpoche
Discovering the Dharma III
A Dharmakaya Center retreat
Across the Discovering the Dharma series, H.E. Trungram Gyalwa Rinpoche lays the groundwork for Buddhist study. In this year’s program, he presents the full Tibetan Buddhist path through teachings from Gampopa’s Jewel Ornament of Liberation. Over five days of immersive learning and guided practice, he explores the mind of ignorance and insight, the path of practice, and the teacher-student relationship. Each session includes an extended Q&A, along with a specially designed Tsa-Tue yoga practice and guided meditation. Daily walking meditation, small group discussions, and time for personal practice are also included. Full access to the recordings is available after the program.
ONLINE OPTION: To make these teachings more widely accessible, Rinpoche is also offering this program via live-stream. Please note that attendance at Discovering the Dharma I, II, and III in person is required to qualify for Discovering the Dharma IV.
