Keksel Teacher Training
With Chaphur Rinpoche
March 6–8, 2026.
Only online. (in person, the place is already full)
We warmly invite you to a special live event in Warsaw and online with Chaphur Rinpoche — the Keksel Teacher Training, taking place on March 6–8, 2026.
This is a unique opportunity to deepen your practice under the direct guidance of Rinpoche and to receive authorization to teach the Keksel practice — a profound method of working with the subtle channels, winds, and tigle.
About the Keksel Practice
Keksel is a general Tibetan term referring to practices that work with the subtle energy channels (tsa), winds (lung), and energy drops (tigle). Through working with these three aspects, practitioners can directly experience the enlightened body, speech, and mind.
At the same time, Keksel offers numerous health benefits, as it harmonizes the flow of energy in the body and balances its elements.
According to Tibetan medical theory, the body and consciousness are composed of five elements: earth, water, fire, wind, and space. These elements manifest within us through the interconnection of flesh, blood, heat, breath, and consciousness. The five elements are associated with five organs — the liver, kidneys, spleen, lungs, and heart — which in turn are connected to five negative emotions: attachment, jealousy, ignorance, pride, and anger.
The practice of Keksel enables the transformation of these emotions into the five wisdoms:
- the wisdom of emptiness,
- mirror-like wisdom,
- the wisdom of equality,
- discriminating wisdom,
- all-accomplishing wisdom.
The transformation of the “five poisons” into the “five wisdoms” lies at the very heart of the spiritual path.
Keksel offers effective methods for this transformation and, through harmonizing the elements within the body, supports the practitioner’s physical and emotional well-being.
Lineage and Scope of the Teachings
Both tsa lung and trülkhor practices, originating from the paths of Tantra and Dzogchen, belong to the category of Keksel.
During this three-day course, Chaphur Rinpoche will introduce participants to movements, visualizations, and mantra recitation drawn from both of these paths, integrating them into a coherent and practical system.
As Rinpoche explains:
“In ancient times, Bon practitioners who emphasized Keksel practice lived long and healthy lives and attained lasting peace through realizing the nature of the mind.
In modern times, especially in the West, life is fast-paced and overly intellectual, creating a disconnection between body and mind. This leads to emotional and physical imbalances as well as difficulties in relationships.
I believe that the Keksel teachings are well suited to address these challenges. My wish is to distill the essence of these teachings and bring them together into a system that is best adapted to the modern mind.”
Purpose of the Teacher Training
The Keksel Teacher Training is intended for those who wish to deepen their understanding and practice of working with the energies of body and mind, as well as to prepare to transmit this knowledge to others.
This course is the first of three parts of the complete Keksel Teacher Training.
Participation in all three parts is required in order to complete the full training and receive authorization to teach the Keksel practice in accordance with the instructions of Chaphur Rinpoche.
The course includes theoretical teachings, movement practice, breathwork, and mantra recitation.
Participants will gain a solid foundation for further independent practice of Keksel.
