Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche: Sun and Sky Gazing (In Person & Online) September 25th—September 27th Date details + Price: $265 Full Price Room: Main Shrine Room Boulder Shambhala Center, in collaboration with Chamma Ling, Colorado, is delighted to host Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche again September 25-27, 2026. This retreat is a hybrid retreat, with both in-person and online attendance options. Rinpoche’s teaching will focus on the Bon Dzogchen tögal practices of sun and sky gazing. First the practitioner stabilizes the mind through trekchö meditation that cuts through mental elaborations and supports the experience of rigpa, the natural state of mind. Then the tögal practices combine meditation in the natural state with gazing at the clear open sky or the sun’s rays. These tögal practices support the practitioner to directly experience clear light and work with the visions that spontaneously arise from the natural state. Why This Teaching is Unique: Rare opportunity to receive authentic Bön Dzogchen instruction in the West Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is one of the foremost Bön masters teaching in English Direct transmission of practices typically reserved for advanced retreatants Integration of sky gazing, sun gazing, and dark retreat methodologies This Dzogchen teaching is open to all.   Early Bird discount ($250) available for registrations before August 7! REGISTER HERE Pre-retreat offering: Prior to this weekend retreat, Dr. Ale Chaoul will offer a 3-day teaching to support interested students to stabilize their meditative state through dzogchen practices of trekchö.

You are warmly invited to join Dr. Ale Chaoul for a three-day retreat designed to prepare the body, breath, and awareness in readiness for Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche’s Tögal teachings on sky and sun-gazing. Over three days, we will enter a space of deepening presence through essential practices: establishing a sacred boundary, engaging the Tsa Lung movements, resting in the Dzogchen practice of contemplative breathing, and the union of three spaces (heart, eyes, sky). These practices are gateways—softening habitual patterns and guiding us toward a direct glimpse of the natural state of mind: open, luminous, and endowed with the qualities of loving kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity. Through learning and practicing together for 3 days, you will gently become more familiar with both the methods and the innate wisdom that is already within you—your natural state of mind. Arriving a few days early also provides us a soft landing into retreat; to settle the body, quiet the mind, and open the heart. In this way, we will prepare the ground to receive more deeply the precious and subtle teachings of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. These preperatory teachings are optional but highly encouraged.

Sunday Teachings Resume — Yidam Tak-la Mé-bar 🙏 https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/W6zosmoyS5azPO6jF37OGw I am very happy to announce that our Sunday teachings will resume. For the past three months, due to various circumstances, I had to pause my teachings in Europe. Now, having successfully completed my travels and teachings, I am grateful to resume the Sunday teachings in response to the kind requests of my friends and students. Join the Sunday Teachings via Zoom:Zoom Registration — Join the Teachings https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/W6zosmoyS5azPO6jF37OGw Yidam Tak-la Mé-bar This time, we will enter into the profound practice of Yidam Tak-la Mé-bar, a powerful deity renowned for great strength and power, swift accomplishment of spiritual attainments, protection from obstacles, success in our activities, and the ability to bring our aspirations to completion. The practice of Tak-la Mé-bar is also deeply connected with protection from illness, overcoming negative influences and difficult circumstances, removing obstacles, and allowing virtue, positive qualities, and beneficial conditions to flourish naturally. There is also a particularly profound connection between this practice and the Khyung Ser Dha — Shell Lama Tsang Garuda lineage. Wal-bar Tak-la, as well as dha Trül Rinchen Pünthok, is regarded as a trülku, or emanation, of Tak-la Mé-bar. This makes these teachings an especially meaningful opportunity to connect with the blessings, wisdom, and powerful lineage of this profound practice. May these teachings become a source of strength, protection, wisdom, and positive transformation. I warmly invite all friends, students, and those who feel a connection with this profound practice to join us for these Sunday teachings. May the blessings of Tak-la Mé-bar remove obstacles, strengthen our practice, and help all our positive aspirations come to fruition. 🔥 Khyung Rinpoche
