Dear Bön Friends, students of Bön and Sanghas,
Rinpoche’s Part 1 teaching on the profound Dzogchen cycle of Dru Gyalwe Chag Trid was an incredibly moving and transformative experience. With clarity, compassion, and depth, Rinpoche completed the Nine Applications of Ngöndro, skillfully guiding students through the foundational practices that prepare the body, speech, and mind for Dzogchen.
Now, we are honored to continue this sacred journey as Rinpoche leads us into the next stages—the outer, inner, secret, and innermost pith instructions—of this rare and powerful cycle, rooted in the transmission of the great yogi Dru Gyalwa Yungdrung, the 10th Thenpa from the Dru Lineage.
This deeply respected Dzogchen teaching, part of the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyü, was traditionally passed down only in one-to-one transmissions and continues to be held in high regard today.
What We Will Study in Part 2:
- Chi Tawa Chi Chöd – The outer, general view of meditation
- Cleansing karma and awakening
- Becoming aware and grounding to the base
- Discovery of realization
- Dedication
- Nang Menag Martrit – Inner, direct pith instruction
- Sangwa Rigpa Cher Thong – Secretly seeing Rigpa face to face
- Yangsang Nelug Phug Chöd – Accomplishing the ultimate realization of nature as it is
Rinpoche will focus this session on Chi Tawa Chi Chöd, opening the door to deep experiential practice and realization.
Students will have time for practice and Q&A, allowing the teachings to fully integrate.
Important Notes:
- Students who were unable to attend Part 1 are still warmly invited to join Part 2. You may watch the recorded teaching of Part 1 beforehand, or—if you already feel deeply grounded in Ngöndro practice—you may join Part 2 directly.
- Space is very limited. This teaching will be capped at 25 participants to preserve its intimacy and depth. We strongly encourage early registration.
Registration:
Early Registration Fee: $350.00 — available until October 1, 2025, if space remains.
After October 1, 2025, the registration fee will be $450.00, subject to availability.
Event Details:
Although Rinpoche is not able to come to the United States at this time, Eleanor has graciously opened her home so that students may still gather together for the teaching and share the retreat experience as a community. Coming together in this way creates a beautiful and supportive energy among practitioners and allows the teachings to be received in a shared field of presence, devotion, and connection.
If you would like to participate in person at Eleanor’s home in Tesuque, New Mexico, please let us know. This will assist with planning and logistics. Retreat sessions will begin at 8:00 a.m. and conclude at approximately 1:00–2:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) each day.
You will be welcomed into a peaceful and beautiful setting, lovingly hosted by a long-time, dedicated Bön practitioner.
Nearby Lodging
Recommended lodging includes The Lodge at Santa Fe, along with several charming options in Tesuque, NM (available via Hotels.com).
This teaching is part of a multi-year Dzogchen program that Rinpoche will continue annually until the full cycle is complete. It is a rare and precious opportunity to receive direct, lineage-based instruction from a realized master of the Yungdrung Bön tradition.
We warmly invite you to walk this sacred path with us.

Time Zones
Please be mindful of time differences when planning to participate. Rinpoche will be teaching from Poland, with sessions running approximately 4:00 p.m. to 9:00–10:00 p.m. Poland time, which corresponds to early morning hours in the United States.
All teachings are recorded, and all registered students will receive access to the recordings, even if you are unable to attend the live sessions.
Additional In-Person Option: Poland
For those who feel called to be closer to Rinpoche, there is also a beautiful opportunity to travel to Rinpoche’s center in Poland. Students are most welcome to journey there, spend meaningful time in community, and receive the teachings in person.
The teachings in Poland are scheduled close together, making it possible to attend one, two, or all three teachings, or to remain longer and receive Losar blessings and celebrate Tibetan Losar with Rinpoche.
If this option speaks to you, please click on “Poland Travel” for detailed information about traveling to Poland and participating in the teachings there.
Whether you gather in New Mexico, join us online, or travel to Poland, we warmly welcome your wish to walk this sacred path and receive these precious teachings under the guidance of Latri Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche.
