The Four Goodnesses of Tapihritsa: Dzogchen Pith Instructions

Come join us for Geshe Choekhortshang Rinpoche’s first teachings in the United States! Rinpoche is a popular teacher across Europe, and possess an excellent command of English. Many know him for his online teachings on the Ngöndro, Yeshe Walmo, Sherap Chamma and Chöd.

In this very special weekend event, Rinpoche will teach on the Four Goodnesses of Tapihritsa. Tapihritsa gave these very direct and quintessential instructions to Gyerpung Nangzher Löpo upon their first meeting in the eighth century.

VIEW: By omni-pervasiveness, let unconditioned self-awareness go into the lelf-liberated vision not grasped by mind; this way is good,

MEDITATION: Let baseless experience unconditionally perceive the non-referential and self-clear edition; this way is good,

BEHAVIOR: Without dualistic choosing, let experiential vision directly perform flexible actions with are without attachment; this way is good,

FRUIT: Let the limits of hope and fear self-liberate into the unobtainable self-arising realization; this way is good.

⸺from Wonders of the Natural Mind, by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

The result of receiving, understanding and meditating on these teachings ultimately is attainment of the rainbow body, complete self-realization or buddhahood.

Rinpoche will teach in depth on these four “goodnesses” with his usually insightful, lively and good-natured style over one and a half days of teachings and practice.
