The Longde series of Dzogchen teachings elaborate the way in which practitioners can gain confidence in self liberation. It presumes that we already have some familiarity with the state in which appearances are released upon arising through the state of instant presence. The Series of Space (Longde) directly opens that possibility to the practitioner and through experience one gains total certainty that it is the single and only sphere that must be recognized and known.
The course will mainly focus upon the singularity of the three experiences: clairty, emptiness, and pleasure through posture and open fixation. There will be explanation but emphasis will require individual application.
This retreat is open to those who received transmission from Chögyal Namkhai Norbu or Namkhai Yeshi.
