Lama Tharchin Rinpoche will present in-depth teachings on the foundational practices (ngondro) of the Dakini Heart Essence (mkha 'gro thug thig). To our knowledge, this is the first extensive presentation of these important practices of the Dakini Heart Essence. Lama Dechen Yeshe Wangmo will facilitate practice sessions and translation will be provided by Lama Ngawang Zangpo.

These foundational practices are given as the preliminary training for all Vajrayana practices, such as yidam (personal deity), tsa lung (subtle energy), and dzog chen (Great Perfection). But equally important, they are quintessential in themselves because they target all the key points of the Vajrayana path: personal orientation and spiritual motivation, purification, positive accumulation, and union with the mind of the guru which leads to the direct experience of our innately enlightened nature. In short, these foundations are the life-long companion of any vajrayana practitioner.

This event will be held at the Nazareth Retreat Center which offers a peaceful oasis only minutes away from downtown Boise. All rooms have private baths. Nazareth does not have a website.
