Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso
Rinpoche
April 14th- 23rd, 2006
By Invitation only **
-
Must
have attended one of the Guhyagarbha Tantra retreats before.
Khenchen will finish the text during this retreat, please make
arrangement to attend the full 10 days retreat.
Guhyagarbha
Tantra- which translates into Secret Essence of
Magical Net, it is one of the main inner trantric texts
according to Nyingma School . It is also known as Vajrasattva
Magical Net.
This is
the 7th year course in
Ngagyur
Nyingma Institute; we have the opportunity to hear this
teaching because of Khenchen's blessings and compassion.
There are so many Indian and Tibetan
scholar commentaries on the root text of the Guhya Garbha
Tantra. Mipham Rinpoche has written a condense commentary
called Sany Nying Chidon Wosel Nyingpo.
In this Tantra it explains the
ground, path and fruition of the inner or the higher Tantra,
which means the Great Perfection or Dzogchen. It goes through
more details about the ten suchness to actualize the whole
trantric practice of generation and completion stage to
accomplish enlightenment in one life time.
Through this text one can understand the
general and essential view of the Secret Essence of clear light
and ultimately the absolute nature of phenomena. This is based
on the One Hundred Deities practice which is naturally going to
appear in the Bardo, the intermediate stage. If one has
this practice and becomes familiar with these One Hundred
Deities then there is the possibility of liberation just through
recognizing them.
If one could have certainty in the view,
through the study of the clear light and the practice of this
meditation, then one could attain enlightenment within this
life. Or, one could recognize the mother clear light at the
moment of dissolution of elements during the time of death. One
can easily be liberated and achieve enlightenment just within
that moment.
Dana: The teachings are considered priceless, and the
teachers offer them freely. It is traditional to make an
offering at the conclusion of the teaching. A white scarf (kata)
with a dana (generosity) is usually presented to the
Rinpoche.
