Tsa Lung Workshop

Tsa Lung Workshop
April 24 - May 15, 2016
Join us for a 4 week online workshop focusing on the practice and fundamentals of Tsa Lung. This course will give you confidence in the practice of Tsa Lung, provide the foundational knowledge necessary to understand the practice, and allow you to understand how the practice of Tsa Lung transitions to the Completion Stage yogas.
This course is designed for students who are new to the practice, experienced students who are engaged in tantric practice and everyone attending the annual summer Dzogchen retreat.  This course is designed to be dynamic, unfolding out of the interactions between the session leaders and the students. 
The course will take place using Canvas, a web platform created for learning.  There will be instructional videos on how to do the practice, weekly readings, online course materials and a weekly video conference allowing students to ask questions and go over the practice essentials. 
Required Materials: Profound Inner Principles by the Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje


Cost: $30
Within a couple days of registering you will be sent an invitation to the course.
Log in and check out the course syllabus, the online materials and recommended materials. Take a look at the weekly assignments and the course schedule. Check in on the discussion page and introduce yourself. Each week on Sunday at 6pm CST we will be having a Zoom video conference to discuss the material.  The first video conference is on Sunday April 24.


This is the first of many courses that we are going to be offering.  One of the principal goals of the Younge Drodul Ling Sangha is to create an environment that is supportive for your practice; fostering discussion and further inquiry into the teachings.  Our intention is to create a learning program rooted in the Rime tradition, following the example of our teacher, Younge Khachab Rinpoche. The forthcoming courses will challenge you to apply the teachings to your practice and your path. These courses are designed to clear away your doubts about the practice, confusion about the path, and allow you to see that the result is attainable in this life.
Check out some of the other Courses coming soon.

This prayer was composed by Rigpai Wangchuk (Greg Patenaude) following the annual summer Dzogchen retreat in conjunction with devotion and pure samaya on the 25th day of the fourth month in the Tibetan Wood Horse year 2141 (June 22, 2014). It was translated into the Tibetan by Tenzin Bhuchung in a surge of Guru devotion. May it be auspicious!
