Dzogchen Practice Retreat with Drupdra Khenpo Tenzin Tsultrim Rinpoche
Online
January 2-10, 2026
Come practice Dzogchen meditation with a true master of the Bön tradition! Drupdra Khenpo Rinpoche is the Abbot of the meditation school at Triten Norbutse in Nepal. He is an exceptional teacher and practitioner, recognized for his deep knowledge and dedication to the practices of Tsalung and Trulkhor. Drupdra Khenpo Rinpoche will be supported by Marcy Vaughn as our retreat’s umze, and Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will join by zoom every other day to provide additional instruction and comments on the teachings.
Our focus this year is twofold. Our initial weekend will be oriented around the Invocation of Tapihritsa, a prayer of great beauty that describes and praises the qualities of the natural state. In the second phase of our retreat, Drupdra Khenpo will teach from the 21 Nails, among the most succinct and profound articulations of the natural state (the clear light of awareness) in any spiritual tradition. He will draw from this sacred text to support our recognition and resting in the nature of mind.
Attend this 8 day online retreat. The teachings will begin on the evening of Friday, January 2, t with a guided practice. Our weekend participants will join us for teachings on the Invocation of Tapihritsa. Those continuing with the longer retreat will continue on January 3, when the Drupdra Khenpo will begin to draw on the 21 Nails to guide our meditations.
This is Rinpoche’s first visit to the United States.
