Connected to the Shitro Teachings of Namchö Mingyur Dorje, this short form of the Chang Chog ritual can be performed by all those who have received the transmission and wish to help their dear ones who have passed away.

On Friday evening and Saturday morning Elio Guarisco will give some public introduction about “Awakening upon Dying – How to deal with the moment of Death in Tibetan Buddhism”.
On Saturday afternoon Elio will explain the practice and on Sunday morning we will do the practice together. The last two parts of the retreat are only accessible for those who have received the transmission of Rinpoche.

YANTRA - COORDINATION OF ENERGY


Precise instructions on breathing as a preparation for the practice of Yantra Yoga
Weekend seminar with Oliver Leick
17th-18th April 2010 in Yeselling




Yantra – Coordination of energy
Precise instructions on breathing as a preparation for the practice of Yantra Yoga
Weekend seminar with Oliver Leick
17th-18th April 2010 in Yeselling

12 lucky people took the chance and participated in the first course ever held on Yantra – Coordination of energy.
All participants gained direct experience of the different kinds of inhalation and exhalation and some forms of holding the breath, performed controlled and yet relaxed movements in unification with inhalation and exhalation, and experienced the state of relaxation of their mind.

Based on the teachings of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, this seminar offered the possibility to understand the importance and to gain experience of one’s breathing.
This kind of seminar was a special introduction and preparation for the practice of Yantra Yoga and it was open to everybody interested in Yoga, breathing, health, Tibetan wisdom, and Tibetan culture.
The source of these instructions is the Teachings of Yantra Yoga – the Tibetan Yoga of Movement, written by the Tibetan Dzogchen master Vairochana in the eighth century. In this text it is clearly explained how one can coordinate one’s energy by harmonizing movement with breathing, and how one can gain a well-balanced and relaxed state of mind by performing the movements of Yantra Yoga. 
 
This weekend-seminar was divided in three sessions in which the Base, Path and Fruit of the practice were explained.
The explanations related to the Base included the various aspects and functions of the breathing, a brief description of the five Inner Pranas, and the understanding of our three existences of body, speech and mind. The importance of becoming aware of one’s breathing was strongly emphasized.
In the session related to the Path the students gained a personal experience of the different kinds of the breathings. They experienced the difference between direct and indirect inhalation and exhalation, they applied direct breathing while performing some movements of Yantra Yoga, they gained the direct understanding that different positions of the body influence one’s breathing, and they learned to unite the “outer” movements of the body with the” inner” movements of the breathing.
In the session related to the Fruit the students did not only experience the different kinds of holdings by performing some characteristic movements of Yantra Yoga, but they also understood that breathing can become one of the most valuable means of being awareness in everyday-life. They also learned how to coordinate the movements of the body with one's breathing, and they experienced a relaxed state of mind through practicing with presence and awareness.
 

Oliver Leick has been a student of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu since 1977. He is an authorized instructor of Yantra Yoga in Austria and has led more than 40 seminars in various countries.

Dzogchen Retreat with Elio Guarisco: 19.-21.2.2010

THE VISION OF CLEAR LIGHT
A pure vision of MINGYUR NAMKHAI DORJE on the key point of the Dzogchen practice in the words of Patrul Rinpoche


Dzogchen Retreat led by Elio Guarisco
Friday, 19th – Sunday, 21st of February 2010


This teaching, committed to writing by Paltrul Rinpoche (1808-1887), is a pure vision of the renowned master Mingyur Namkhai Dorje, in which his master Jigme Gyalwai Nyugu with few words leaves him a sort of spiritual testament pointing out the key point of the Dzogchen practice with essential instructions on Tregchö of Dzogchen Upadesha.
In a vision of clear light Mingyur Namkhai Dorje received this teaching in the form of a testament from his teacher, Jigme Gyalwai Nyugu, one of the foremost disciples of Jigme Lingpa. Gyalwai Nyugu was a wonderful master embodiment of the selfless compassion of Avalokiteshvara. No pretentious behavior was ever witnessed on his part in any circumstance. He displayed utter simplicity, benevolence, service and an incomparable yogic asceticism imbued with a total disregard for any difficulty in pursing the spiritual path. That what made arise in his mind the total realization of the primordial state, and made his activities blossom to influence in a lasting way to a great extent the transmission of the Dzogchen Teaching.
Mingyur Namkhai Dorje, the 4th Dzogchen Rinpoche, devoted his entire life in practicing and expounding the Dzogchen teachings. He was famed all over Tibet for having realized the great perfection and, for his clairvoyance. His activity continually manifested from his altruistic heart and steadfast armor of patience and non bias toward all beings. Never straying from the luminous state of his own mind, his actions were the expression a state of contemplation that knows no boundaries between meditation and non meditation. Among his other activities, with Gyalse Shenpen Taye he founded the famous Sri Singh college of Kathog Monastery.
A student of both Gyawai Nyugu, whom he served for many years, and of Mingyur Namkhai Dorje, Paltrul Rinpoche is famous, above all, for having lived an unconventional life of total detachment from worldly glamour, in complete accordance with the teaching, a life exemplified by his compassion, humility, humor, and direct way of communicating the Teaching. It is said that, at his time, there was no renowned master of eastern Tibet that somehow did not establish a spiritual relation with him, among them some of the most famous were Ju Mipham and Adzom Drugpa.

This invaluable teaching is for those who have received already a direct introduction into the Dzogchen state and are sincerely interested in applying the Dzogchen method for discovering their own innate enlightenment.

Elio Guarisco is a long time student of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, authorized teacher of Santi Maha Sangha, and one of the main translators from Tibetan for the Ka-ter Translation Project. It will be the second time that Elio leads a retreat in Yeselling.
