SUMMARY:Finding Unshakeable Certainty
DESCRIPTION:DZOGCHEN BEARA: Weekend Teachings with Khenpo Tashi \nHighlights from the Beacon of Certainty by Mipham Rinpoche \nWhat is our practice actually built on? \nMany of us have spent years on the path: meditating\, deepening compassion\, engaging in Vajrayana practice\, receiving profound teachings that have inspired and transformed us. Yet at a certain point\, questions like this begin to arise. What are we truly recognizing in meditation? How do we distinguish genuine understanding from concepts\, experiences\, or passing states? \nThe great masters of the Nyingma tradition understood that these questions cannot be answered through faith alone. They require investigation\, reflection\, and a View that becomes clear through our own experience. \nFor these teachings\, Khenpo Tashi draws on selected highlights from The Beacon of Certainty by Mipham Rinpoche\, a profound text of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Structured around essential questions of view and meditation\, the text guides practitioners with remarkable precision through the relationship between appearance and emptiness\, analysis and direct experience\, understanding and realization. \nDeeply grounded in the lineage of Longchenpa and Mipham Rinpoche\, Khenpo Tashi has a rare ability to make these teachings feel immediate and alive\, revealing how they relate directly to our own path and experience. \nThese teachings are open to all practitioners with a grounding in meditation and Lojong. \nThe retreat\, held in the new Dzogchen Beara temple\, will include periods of silence including during tea breaks and some meal times. \nThese teachings will be offered in Tibetan with live English translation by Rigpa Senior Teacher Damien van Effenterre.

SUMMARY:Seeing Things As They Really Are
DESCRIPTION:LERAB LING: Understanding Emptiness\nwith Khenpo Tashi \nWe spend our lives relating to the world through assumptions: about ourselves\, about others\, and about the way things are. Yet according to the Buddhist teachings\, many of the difficulties we experience arise precisely because we mistake appearance for reality. \nUnderstanding the difference between the two is at the heart of the Buddhist teaching on emptiness. What does emptiness actually mean? Does emptiness mean that nothing exists? If things are empty\, why do our experiences feel so vivid and real? And how can understanding emptiness help us live with greater freedom\, clarity\, and compassion in everyday life? \nDrawing on selected highlights from The Beacon of Certainty by Mipham Rinpoche\, one of the great works of Tibetan Buddhist thought\, Khenpo Tashi explores some of the essential questions at the heart of Buddhist wisdom with warmth\, precision\, and a deep grounding in the Tibetan tradition. \nWHO THIS EVENT IS FOR\nThis retreat is open to all practitioners with familiarity in meditation and Lojong. \nWhether you are newer to the philosophical dimension of the Dharma or a long-time practitioner seeking a firmer foundation beneath your practice\, these teachings offer something increasingly rare: the opportunity to develop a clear and stable confidence in the view of emptiness\, one that can genuinely support our path and our daily life in every circumstance. \nTEACHERS\nKhenpo Tashi is one of the most gifted and respected Nyingma khenpos of his generation\, trained at Namdroling Monastery under the guidance of his root teacher Kyabjé Penor Rinpoche. For the past fourteen years\, at the request of Khenchen Namdrol Rinpoche\, he has served as the principal teacher at the Rigpa Shedra (Buddhist study college) in Pharping\, Nepal\, offering teachings on both Sutra and Tantra to hundreds of students\, from beginners to advanced practitioners. Over the past four years\, his online teachings have brought his guidance to an ever-wider audience within the Rigpa community and beyond. \nRenowned for the depth of his learning\, the precision and clarity of his explanations\, and his rare ability to connect with students according to their needs and level of understanding\, Khenpo Tashi’s teachings are consistently experienced as both inspiring and transformative. \nThese teachings will be offered in Tibetan with live English translation by Rigpa Senior Teacher Damien van Effenterre.
