Practice Dzogchen meditation with true masters of the Bön tradition

January 2-10, 2026

Drubdra Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin 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 Tsa Lung and Trul Khor. Drubdra 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. This will be Drubdra Khenpo Rinpoche’s first visit to the United States.

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, Drubdra Khenpo Rinpoche 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. 

All participants will arrive on Friday, January 2, the day for checking in, settling into your room (if you are staying onsite), a light dinner and an evening guided practice. Beginning on January 3, the Drubdra Khenpo will begin to draw on The Invocation of Tapihritsa to guide our meditations. Teachings and practice from the 21 Nails will follow on January 5.

If you are experienced with dzogchen meditation or this is your first time, you are warmly invited to join us. If you are new to Serenity Ridge, we encourage you to explore our free online course, Starting a Meditation Practice, at LigminchaLearning.com. In it, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche offers clear, step-by-step guidance in the Nine Breathings of Purification, Tsa Lung exercises, and the prayer of Guru Yoga—foundational practices that support meditators at every level and that you will also experience during the retreat.

This retreat will be recorded. Recordings will be available for 30 days post retreat.
