Tummo, Inner Fire Teaching
By Chaphur Rinpoche
November 27-28, 2021. 9am – 11am PST
Via Zoom/Zoom/Webinar
Join Gyalshen Institute’s sangha for a 4 hour Tummo Instruction and Practice. Chaphur Rinpoche will lead practitioners in the preliminary and core breathing practices from Shardza Rinpoche’s Tummo Text, “Self Arising Inner Kayas”. Tummo is a breathing practice central to Tantra practice and very helpful for Dzogchen practitioners in achieving enlightenment, according to Shardza Rinpoche, an accomplished Dzogchen master of the 20th century.
The root text of Tummo was written and taught by Sangchok Tharthuk Gyalpo and comes from the Mother Tantra teachings. Later commentaries by Gyalshen Milu Samlek are also included.
Tummo is a practice which clears the negative emotions of this life and the karmic traces of past lives. It increases physical health and mental wellbeing. Many people have reported improvements in heart and lung health as well as increased concentration and greater memory retention. The overall result is a calm and peaceful mind.
The meaning of Tummo is “inner fire” and the practice is to generate and direct this heat or warmth within the body. The Tummo practice also works with the Tsa (channels), the Lung (wind or breathing) and the Tigles (light drops of consciousness) inside the channels. Through visualizing a red hot needle of iron at the junction of the three channels, all negativities are incinerated and purified, allowing the unification of inner wind and the mind to occur.
Chaphur Rinpoche will also discuss the different kinds of breathing that can be utilized. He will demonstrate the smooth, gentle breathing characteristic of the Jam Lung (smooth wind) practice as well as the more intense Bar Lung (wrathful wind) practice which incorporates packing air into the lungs and holding it there for an extended length of time.
Come to this in-depth training and gain the knowledge and experience to enhance your physical, mental, and spiritual well being. Tummo is a wonderful tool that you will want to employ for the rest of your life once you experience its amazing benefits. Please register early so that you can receive the supportive handouts.
