The Root Upadesha on the Vajra Bridge of Longde
Merigar West, 2007
Dear Members of the Dzogchen Community,
We are pleased to announce our January 2026 retreat selection for the Rinpoche Retreat Replay. For the upcoming months, we will be streaming Rinpoche’s Teaching on The Root Upadesha on the Vajra Bridge of Longde, which took place in Merigar West, Italy, in July 2007.
“In the method of Dzogchen Longde there is the possibility to be in all three experiences at the same moment. This is called the fourth experience, yermed, non separation of three experiences… We must experience it concretely, and then we have that knowledge, and with that knowledge we can get in a state of contemplation.”
— Chögyal Namkhai Norbu’s words in the transcription of the Teaching given at Merigar West, July 2002, in The Mirror No.106 from September–October 2010.
The retreat can be found on the new webcast website:
