The Arrangement of the Four Wheels of Dzogchen
November 29-30, 2025, 9am-12pm (PT)
With Chaphur Rinpoche
In the Bon tradition there are many texts on Dzogchen, and among them the Zhangzhung Nyengyud is one of the most renowned. The very precious Zhangzhung Nyengyud lineage has been transmitted without interruption from Tonpa Kuntu Zangpo/Dharmakaya to the Abbots and Lopons or Ponlobs of Bon monasteries including Menri Monastery. As a result, the transmission of the Zhangzhung Nyengyud teachings continues uninterrupted to this day.
Dzogchen Zhangzhung Nyen Gyud (Tibetan: ཞང་ཞུང་སྙན་རྒྱུད་) has four major sections: 1) Outer, the Viewpoint, 2) Inner, the Guide of Oral Instruction, 3) Secret, the Direct Seeing of Awareness, and 4) Most Secret, the Seeing of Ultimate Nature. Chaphur Rinpoche will be teaching from the third or Secret section which focuses on the Direct Seeing of Awareness. It is referred to as the Arrangement of the Four Wheels of Dzogchen. It contains:
1) The Wheel of the Abiding Base.
2) The Wheel of the Interdependent Connection of Realization and Delusion.
3) The Wheel of the Channels, the Vital Points of the Body.
4) The Wheel of the Time of the Bardo.
We are delighted that Chaphur Rinpoche will give us a teaching on the Arrangement of the Four Wheels of Dzogchen which will strongly support us in deepening our Dzogchen practice. Additionally, Professor Kurt Keutzer has translated an English version, which will be presented during the teaching. Please register below:
