Heart Drops of Kuntu Zangpo, Part III: Thogal

July 29 & 30, 2023

9am-12pm PT and 6pm to 9pm CET on zoom.

This weekend continues the teaching of Shardza Rinpoche’s Heart Drops of Kuntu Zangpo with his thogal teachings.  The Heartdrops of Kuntu Zangpo presents Dzogchen teachings very directly “for those of sharp faculties.” In this section on thogal, Shardza Rinpoche begins an explanation of the superiority of thogal approaches over thegchod. He then continues with a description of the framework of thogal.

Following Shardza’s instructions, Chaphur Rinpoche will explain and demonstrate the key points of thogal, and will lead students in these practices which include:

1) the key points of the body, the thogal postures

2) the key points of speech, silence

3) key points of mind

4) the key points of the door of the eyes, the gazes

5) the key points of the wind or breath, the proper manner of breathing

There will also be a explanation of the visions or appearances that arise during thogal practice.

Please register below by July 27th to receive the handout.
