Dear all,

We’re very pleased to announce the next retreat in closed webcast

Viewing of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu’s Teachings – The Song of Vajra
16 – 20 August 2023

The retreat, meant for those who have received Teachings from Chögyal Namkhai Norbu or Yeshi Namkhai, will consist of viewing the Teachings given by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu in Hong Kong, May 16-20 2012, called The Song of Vajra – Essence of the three series of Dzogchen Semde, Longde, Upadesha.

The Song of the Vajra is like a key for all of the methods we can learn in the Dzogchen teachings, from Semde to Longde and Upadesha. We can learn the Song of the Vajra in three different ways: through sound, where each sound represents the different functions of our chakras; through the meaning of the words, which are not easy to understand because each word is like a symbol; and through our real condition. This threefold nature of the Song of the Vajra is related to the three aspects of our existence (body, speech, and mind).

— Chögyal Namkhai Norbu
