Tara Mandala Online Programs

Explore the history, core teachings and practices that guide Buddhist practitioners in the Tibetan tradition in waking up to their true nature of innate compassion and wisdom. Each five-week course builds upon the previous while standing alone as a complete teaching, and may be taken individually.

Course Five of “The Heart of Buddhism: A Year Long Buddhist Studies Program.” Dzogchen (the “Great Perfection”) and Mahamudra (the “Great Seal”) are considered the highest teachings of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Discover how these teachings offer a direct path to realizing the mind’s innate clarity, and a training ground for abiding in wakefulness. 

Join us for two retreat weekends as we take an immersive journey through the transmission, teachings, and practice of Simhamukha: The Lion-Headed Dakini and Lama Tsultrim’s personal transformation work within the mandala.

Tara Mandala invites you to join the Ösel Nyingtig as we continue to unfurl the excellent path of awakening through the means of accomplishing Yeshe Tsogyal’s Glorious Treasure of Great Bliss. Through this method for Accomplishing White Tsogyal one can become inseparable with Yeshe Tsogyal’s enlightened Body, Speech, and Mind.

All are invited to learn the profound Dakini Ngöndro from Orgyen Khakhyab Lingpa Rinpoche’s Ösel Nyingtig terma cycle. This ngӧndro is a collection of practices that condense the Buddhist path into a skillful method for actualizing one’s primordial wisdom and culminate in a practice of Guru Yoga centering on the enlightened feminine. 

Tara Mandala is deeply honored to announce the continuation of online teachings on the Tsigdön Dzö, “Precious Treasury of Genuine Meaning,” one of the “Seven Treasures” of Longchenpa with the Venerable Adzom Gyalse Rinpoche. Tsigdön Dzö is considered one of the most precise explanations of the instructions on Dzogchen. This is part V of the series.
