Tsoknyi Rinpoche
For over 30 years Tsoknyi Rinpoche has been teaching students worldwide about the innermost nature of mind in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Born into a family respected for its spiritual attainments, he was identified by the 16th Karmapa while still a small child as the third Tsoknyi Rinpoche. His teachers include some of the most renowned masters of Tibet. Widely recognized as an outstanding meditation teacher, he is the author of three books: Open Heart Open Mind, Carefree Dignity, and Fearless Simplicity. Tsoknyi Rinpoche teaches worldwide at more than 50 retreat centers for monks and nuns who follow his spiritual direction. His most current humanitarian project is completing a large school for impoverished young girls in Nepal with both Western and traditional buddhist educational curriculums. His personal warmth, humor and compassionate attention greatly enrich and enliven his teaching.

EVENT DESCRIPTION
The Advanced Practice Retreat consists of teachings mainly related to Dzogchen or Mahamudra, but often includes other topics related to Vajrayana, meditation, and the Buddhist view. Usually, Rinpoche centers his teachings around a particular text, although we often don’t know until the last minute which text he will choose to teach upon. This advanced retreat is appropriate for students familiar with Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Dzogchen, and Vajrayana.
In order to attend this retreat in person, you must have previously attended at least one in-person Open Retreat by Tsoknyi Rinpoche and received pointing out instructions in that retreat. Participation in the online stream requires pointing out from a qualified Vajrayana Master.
