In this immersive and transformative program, Lopön Chandra offers a lens through which we can understand and integrate the contemporary context of the 21 Taras through inspiring stories, study, and practice. Explore the symbolic meaning, power, and purpose of the 21 Taras through teachings, embodied meditation, and mantra.

The great 11th century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdrön offers this fundamental instruction: “don’t search…rest in your nature.” Her teaching is a beautiful reminder of our innate wholeness, and a radical invitation to meet totality “as it is.” This profoundly direct instruction invites us on a path of intimacy: to meet ourselves.

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. 

A profound weekend immersion into the heart of Dzogchen, guided by the wisdom of Lama Tsultrim Allione. This unique retreat is dedicated to exploring the “Song of the Vajra,” a sacred text described by the great master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu as the essential key to the entire Dzogchen path.

How do we cultivate compassion and resilience without solid ground beneath our feet? Madhyamaka, developed by the Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna, offers profound tools for understanding reality that remain relevant to our turbulent times.

Through teachings, discussion, and meditation, students are introduced to numerous methods to skilfully bring suffering in all its forms onto the path of awakening.

Lama Tsultrim will offer this celebrated and unique retreat which she developed to bring transformational personal work into the container of spiritual practice. This deeply experiential retreat involves meditation practice, art, mask making, sound, and movement, working with Simhamukkha, the Lion-headed Dakini.

The annual Drubchö of the White Dakini practice from Do Khyentse’s Dzinpa Rangdröl (Self-Liberation of Clinging), treasure cycle.

This retreat is open by invitation only to students in Orgyen Khakhyab Lingpa’s lineage. Within the Longchen Nyingthig tradition, Jigme Lingpa’s Yeshe Lama is a key Dzogchen manual. Now, with Rinpoche’s blessing and guidance, we are pleased to offer the second year of these profound teachings.

In this advanced level, delve into the teachings of Machig Labdrön, including a profound new practice received directly from her lineage. Participants will expand their Feeding Your Demons journey by working with collective demons—such as those rooted in society, culture, history, and the pervasive demon of ego-clinging.
