Personal guidance with Rinpoche

For more than half a century Rinpoche has practiced and taught Lord Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings, and he is considered a meditation master in the Maha Ati (Dzogchen) and Mahamudra (Chagchen) traditions. In personal guidance he meets you where you are.

Meditation

Instruction in calm abiding and in resting in the natural state, and in bringing it into your day.

The view, meditation and conduct

Guidance in the Dzogchen and Mahamudra way of view, meditation and action.

Your practice

Your daily practice and sadhana, and preparing to receive teachings, oral transmissions and empowerments.

The path

Questions on the path, on obstacles, and on bringing the Dharma into a householder's life.

Don’t miss this: giving katas, money, or gifts to the lama has merit, but dynamically engaging the lama’s mind is the quintessence of respect for the Guru and the quickest method of awakening your meditation siddhis and both absolute and relative bodhicitta.
— Rinpoche, Upadesha I

How it works

  1. Send your request below: what you would like guidance on, and a little about your practice.
  2. Rinpoche, or the center on his behalf, writes back to arrange a time and a way to meet, and the offering that goes with it.
