About Finding Rest in Illusion (Gyuma Ngalso)
Drawing extensively from classic Buddhist works, Gyalwa Longchen Rabjam uses well-known examples of illusion found throughout Mahāyāna literature to illustrate the illusory nature of both saṃsāra and nirvāṇa, thus revealing their ultimate nondual nature. This is an invaluable manual for any genuine student of Buddhism who wishes to truly find rest through the path of the Great Perfection.

Both the root text and the auto-commentary (Chariot of Excellence) will be taught in tandem.

The root text: Semnyid Ngalso Dzogpa Chenpo
This was written about the root text of the Semnyid Ngalso Dzogpa Chenpo.

“Having condensed all of the topics of the Tripitika and the four divisions of tantra into one, the complete teaching of the Bhagavan Buddha is combined into a single graduated path.

Chapter one through chapter ten extensively explain the nature of the basis, starting from the difficulty of acquiring freedom and endowments.

The next two chapters, chapters eleven and twelve, the so-called “chapters of the great naturally perfected meditation,” extensively analyze the stages of the path by principally explaining the yogas of śamatha and vipaśyāna.

Chapter thirteen extensively presents the result, clearly demonstrating the Natural Great Perfection, the ultimate result.”

Tulku Dakpa Rinpoche
Has with great kindness taught the full Semnyid Ngalso Dzogpa Chenpo, including its practice manual over the course of 5 years at Danakosha Ling. This was truly an amazing occasion as this extensive and complete path has not been taught often, even in Tibet or India. As a token of his unceasing kindness, he will again elucidate the meaning explanation of Longchenpa´s Semnyid Ngalso Dzogpa Chenpo for fortunate students. This is your chance to follow in the footsteps of masters of both the present and the past!
Tulku Dakpa Rinpoche is a renowned teacher in the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism (also called the Early Translation Tradition). He has graduated from the Mindrolling Monastery’s University of Tibetan Buddhism as a certified lineage holder of both sutra and tantra
