Teachings: The Heart Drops of Dharmakaya – Part Two
May 9-11, 2025
(in person or on zoom)
We would love to share some wonderful news with you: Chaphur Rinpoche will be visiting Barcelona this May to share his wisdom through individual consultations and profound teachings from the Dzogchen tradition.
One of the key teachings he will offer is Trekchö, an essential Dzogchen practice that means “cutting through completely.” This teaching invites us to release the veils of confusion and duality that cloud our perception, leading us to directly experience the pure nature of the mind.
Where does Trekchö come from?
Trekchö is part of Dzogchen, one of the deepest and most ancient traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Through meditation and direct recognition, this practice guides us toward innate clarity and the natural state of being.
Benefits of Trekchö:
• Connects with the essential nature of the mind.
• Releases suffering caused by attachment and aversion.
• Opens the door to the experience of natural peace and wholeness.
• Strengthens presence and understanding in daily life.

Teaching in Mannhim, Germany,
Tsalung and Tummo
May 17-18, 2025
(in person or on zoom)
The Bönpo tradition of the Mother Tantra contains six classes, or paths, through which one can swiftly attain enlightenment. The first of these, called Thap Lam Cher, can be roughly translated as taking the path to enlightenment. Perhaps it was given this name as it contains the majority of the practices that focus on the channels, winds, and tigles: mainly Tummo and Tsa Lung.
Join us on the weekend of May 17th -18th as Chaphur Rinpoche gives teachings on the theory and practice of Thap Lam Cher. These teachings will cover the basic theory of the nine lung or winds which range from the most coarse winds of delusion to the wind that underlies the subtlest mind of the natural state.
Concurrent with these teachings on theory, Chaphur Rinpoche will lead students in the practices of Tsa Lung and Tummo, taught to gain mastery over the nine lung and cause the cessation of the coarser winds of samsara. Thus, the deluded mind is purified and the practitioner is led to enlightenment.
This retreat is open to students that have any level of familiarity with the Bön teachings. All are warmly invited to attend and to savor the experience of Tsa Lung and Tummo practice with the support of sangha.
Saturday, May 17, 10:00 to 14:00
Sunday, May 18, from 10:00 to 13:00

Heart Drops of Kuntu Zangpo (Rushen – part I) and Abse Initiation
With Chaphur Rinpoche
(in person or on zoom)
Heart Drops of Kuntu Zangpo is a text written by Shardza Rinpoche, one of the great Dzogchen masters of Yungdrung Bön. It is a powerful, direct method of Dzogchen. It encompasses 4 sections; Rushan, Trekchod, Thogal and the Bardo.
Heart Drops of Kuntu Zangpo, Part I: Rushan
Rushan literally means separation, specifically the separation between Samsara and Nirvana. During this first section of Heart Drops Of Kuntu Zangpo, Rinpoche will give an introduction to Samsara and Nirvana through explanations of the differences among each of the 6 realms (the Hell, Hungry Ghost, Animal, Human, DemiGod and God realms) with more emphasis on the Human Realm.
These teachings are open to students that have any level of familiarity with the Bōn teachings. All are warmly invited to attend in person in Warsaw or via Zoom.

Dzogchen Instructions on the Golden Essence
May, 31-June Ist 2025
Drenpa Namkha gave the first Dzogchen oral transmission of the instructions on the Golden Essence (Dzogchen Serdam) to his disciple Shensye Lhaje in the 8th century. Since that time it has been closely guarded as one of the most important Bön Dzogchen teachings, and has only been transmitted to a select group of practitioners.
The teaching gives clear instructions on how to conduct one’s life from the view of Dzogchen – a boundless mind which is clear, powerful and contains full enlightenment within its scope. As Drenpa Namkha said, “Whoever is connected with this instruction, having understood as consciousness the sound light and rays and realized the empty-essence of the nature of mind, may you be primordially awakened in space (dbyings) of the nature of Bon.”
We at Gyalshen Institute feel most fortunate that Chaphur Rinpoche will impart these precious instructions, which are rarely taught in the west. It is our wish that the blessing inherent in receiving this teaching is open to all. Everyone is welcome to join us for this summer’s teaching and retreat.
