Tara Mandala is deeply honored to continue the online teaching series 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 clearest, most explicit, and complete explanations of the instructions on Dzogchen, particularly Tögal.

This unique text is composed of eleven vajra topics, which cover everything from the Ground of Dzogchen, the rupture from the ground into dualistic fixation, Buddha Nature, light channels and subtle body according to Dzogchen, the Gateways, space and primordial wisdom, signs of realization, Dzogchen embryology, dying and the Bardo of Dharmata, and the Great Liberation. This is a highly precious and unique opportunity.

Given the extraordinary depth and scope of this text, Adzom Gyalse Rinpoche has been offering the teachings progressively over a three-year cycle: Parts I and II in 2024, Parts III and IV in 2025, and Parts V and VI in 2026. Rinpoche envisions the series culminating with Part VIII, at which point he will kindly bestow the formal transmission (Tib. lung) for the teachings. 

Attendance of previous series (or access to their recordings) is required for Part VII. If you missed any earlier parts, you can purchase the recordings below to catch up before Series VI. Recordings are available in English and Spanish.
