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. 

Due to the incredibly comprehensive nature of this work, Adzom Gyalse Rinpoche has been offering the teachings on this text in a series. Part I and Part II of the series were offered in 2024. It is Rinpoche’s view that it may require several parts to complete the teaching over a period of 2-3 years.

If you could not attend Parts I and II, you are asked to purchase the recordings to listen to and study them in preparation for Part III. You may purchase access to the recordings (in English and Spanish):

• Part I Recordings
• Part II Recordings

Translation into English will be provided by Erik Drew. Translation into Spanish will be provided by Diego Cadavid. (Traducción a español será ofrecida por el intérprete Diego Cadavid).

Please note that Rinpoche intends to give the transmission (Tib. lung) for these teachings at the completion of this multi-part teaching series.
