The view and practice of trekchö presents the mind essence as the ground of liberation and omniscience. This retreat will explore the mind essence in order to deepen our experience and move towards increased stability.
Trekchö is one of the main practices of the Dzogchen tradition, focusing on recognizing and remaining in mind essence, which includes original purity. The mind essence is best explored in the context of a teacher who can give the pith instructions and clarify points of confusion and potential pitfalls. We will also explore how to clear away obstacles and enhance our practice.As an introduction and preparation to Rinpoche’s teachings the following videos and mp3s can be helpful:
