Khenpo Yeshi returns to Tucson for the 12th year straight, and this time he will lead us on a journey into Longchen Rabjam’s famous treatise, The Chö Ying Dzöd, The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena and its accompanying commentary. By elucidating this text, Khenpo Yeshi will simultaneously introduce us to the work’s essential instruction on the profound Dzogchen practice of Trekchö or “cutting through.”

What do we cut through? Conceptual delusion. In the context of Dzogchen, we cut through the flimsy fantasy world of self-grasping and we do so swiftly, emboldened by the simple recognition of the innate incorruptibility of our own primordial awareness or Buddha Nature.

As dharma students in 2017 we can celebrate the auspicious good fortune of not only this masterpiece having been translated into English, but also the special insight of Khenpo Yeshi. A scholar in both Tibetan and English languages, Khenpo Yeshi has received extensive trainings, both academic and spiritual, too numerous to list here, and completed three-year meditative retreat under the guidance of the renowned Dzogchen master, H.E. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. He currently lives in California and attends Berkeley as a PhD student.

Since, during the course of one weekend, we will we only have enough time to cover the first few chapters, this teaching will become the first of a multi-year series. Please join us as we begin this cycle of Dzogchen teachings with Khenpo Yeshi at Drikung Namgyal Ling.

Texts will be available in our dharma store.
