Dear Global Vajra Family,

Membership in the Dzogchen Community is the way we demonstrate our individual commitment to the Teachings, the Master, and our Sangha.

Membership is a fundamental way to support the worldwide network of Gars and Lings that Rinpoche created with infinite generosity and for the benefit of all. 

Our Gars and Lings rely on our memberships to cover their operating costs, while providing us with retreats, programs, and webcasts, among other benefits in collaboration with the International Dzogchen Community.

Please join our collective community effort and renew your 2025 IDC membership. Through this annual commitment, each of us ensures the continued health of the Dzogchen Community, supports the Teachings, and makes the development of our practice a continued reality.

We would like to thank those of you who have already renewed their membership for 2024, and encourage you to renew it, if you have not done so yet. We would also like to invite you to retroactively make payments for any previous membership years you may have missed – specifically 2021, 2022, and 2023 – as needed.

Renewing your membership is easy. Visit dzogchen.net to view and choose the payment methods for the Gar or Ling closest to your geographical area of residence. Many of them offer the opportunity to renew membership directly online through your personal profile at https://dzogchen.net/profile/membership/.

Alternatively, you can contact the Gakyil and/or the Membership Coordinator of your local Gar or Ling directly for assistance. 

Best wishes,

Your International Gakyil Team,

Miranda, Fabrizio, Gabriella, Oni, Rosa, Piotr, Richard, and Marija.
