The Annual European Palyul Namcho Dzogchen Retreat has been helt since 2007. It is suitable for beginners as well as for advanced Dharma practicioners. The retreat is called “Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand” (Tib. Dzogchen Sangye Lakchang). It is held each year at the European retreat center of the Palyul tradition of Buddhism in Zusch, Germany. This authentic retreat begins with an Introductory Class and Ngondro practice, and ends with the highest Dzogchen practice.
We are very happy to announce that Ven. Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche – one of the seniormost Khenpos in the Nyingma tradition and one of the three Khenchen or ‘great Khenpos’ of Namdroling Monastery – will open and lead the annual Palyul Namcho Dzogchen Retreat again – from 1-12 August 2019. Ven. Pema Rinpoche, Khenpo Sonam Tsewang and Khenpo Dawa will give teachings at the retreat too.
On 10 August, Saturday, at 15:00 Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche will bestow the Dukngal Rangdrol Empowerment – a peaceful Yidam practice from the Longchen Nyingtik (the terma revelation of Jikmе Lingpa). Last year Khenchen Rinpoche bestowed two other Empowerments of the Three Roots – Rigdzin Dupa (the inner Lama practice) und Yumka Dechen Gyalmo (the peaceful Dakini practice). Dukngal Rangdrol is the secret guru practice from the peaceful male vidyadhara section of the same cycle as well.
