The Six-Year Dzogchen Practitioners’ Course – along with its complementary instruction, entitled The Perfect Path of Self-Liberation, has been designed as a more suitable framework for those students who wish to deepen and broaden the scope of their study and practice of Buddhism, and who wish to commit themselves to a programme of intensive study and practice.

This Course is also referred to as the shedra which means ‘college’ in Tibetan. Those who enrol in the course are required to attend the annual Zangdok Palri Institute shedra course, study the course material, complete the set practices, and pass exams.
