The Twelve Chapters of the Core Teachings from the Dzogchen text Zhang Zhung Nyengyud

This event is organized by the Bon Center Ligmincha Berlin.

The Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud, the Aural Transmission of Zhang Zhung, is one of the most important and precious oral teaching traditions of Yungdrung Bön. These profound Dzogchen teachings have been transmitted through an unbroken lineage, connected with the great master Tapihritsa, who is regarded as one of the principal masters of the Dzogchen tradition of ancient. During this weekend, we will study The Twelve Chapters of Pith Instructions of Dzogchen, a profound section of this precious oral transmission. These pith instructions present the essential points of the Dzogchen view and practice, beginning with the common basis of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa, and exploring how delusion arises when the natural state is not recognized. The teachings also explain the different ways of guidance according to the capacity of practitioners, including gradual practice, the introduction to the wisdom of Thögal, and direct introduction for those of the highest capacity. They lead us toward a deeper understanding of recognition, realization, liberation, and the ultimate fruition of Dzogchen. This teaching is open to both newcomers and experienced practitioners. Whether you are newly interested in Dzogchen or have been practicing for many years, these pith instructions offer an opportunity to deepen our understanding and renew our connection with the precious Dzogchen lineage.'
