Winter Retreat 2024

Every year since 1998, between Christmas and New-Year, Dzogchen Ranyak Patrul Rinpoche guides a study retreat that ends on New Year’s Eve with a cheerful celebration.

A Little Inner Smile

A Little Inner Smile

Once you have the view, although the delusory perceptions of samsara may arise in your mind, you will be like the sky; when a rainbow appears in front of it, it’s not particularly flattered, and when the clouds appear, it’s not particularly disappointed either. There is a deep sense of contentment. You chuckle from inside as you see the facade of samsara and nirvana; the view will keep you constantly amused, with a little inner smile bubbling away all the time.

A Visit from Tulku Migmed Dorje Rinpoche

A Visit from Tulku Migmed Dorje Rinpoche

We were honoured to host Tulku Migmed Dorje Rinpoche, together with his wife, at Dharma City during the summer shedra. As the eldest son of Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche (Khordong Terchen Tulku Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche), the lineage holder of the Khordong and the Northern Treasures (Jangter, byang gter) traditions in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, Rinpoche’s visit strengthened even more the connection between Patrul Rinpoche’s lineage and the Jangter lineage.
