Blazing Wisdom Institute is pleased to announce that it will host a program on Longchenpa's "Resting in the Nature of Mind," with Tulku Sang Ngag Tenzin Rinpoche, over the Labor Day weekend, September 4 to 7. The program will begin at 7:30 pm on Friday, and end at noon on Monday, and will be held at Guru Rinpoche House, our facility in Saugerties, NY.

Sang Ngag Tenzin Rinpoche has trained diligently with many exalted masters, including Khenpos who are direct lineage holders of Khenpo Jigme Phuntsog at Larung Gar in Tibet, the renowned Khenpo Achuk of Yarchen Gon, and Drubwang Pema Norbu Rinpoche in India, and is a holder of the Nying Tig teachings.

In particular, Rinpoche and Tulku Sherdor met auspiciously in Nepal earlier this year, and discovered their common dharma family roots through His Holiness Orgyen Kusum Lingpa, Pema Tumpo, who visited Rinpoche's home in Amdo many times when he was child, gave him refuge vows, ngagpa robes and his name, and advised Rinpoche's parents that he was destined to “benefit all sentient beings and the Buddha Dharma when his spirituality awakens. He will lead his life in a perfect way.’’

Many years later, Tulku Sherdor traveled to Rinpoche's village near the Mongolian border with Hungkar Dorje Rinpoche, who continues the work of his father Orgyen Kusum Lingpa to benefit beings in that region.

Sang Ngag Tenzin Rinpoche exemplifies living as a yogi in the world with a family, while maintaining the outer, inner and secret disciplines of the three yanas.

This is a special opportunity for practitioners within the Dzogchen and Nying Tig traditions to receive instruction on Longchenpa's famous treatise, part of his "Trilogy on Resting." It covers the ground, path and fruition, view, meditation and conduct of Dzogchen practice.
