In our Longchen Nyingtik lineage, we study the ngondro practice from Patrul Rinpoche’s nineteenth-century text, The Words of My Perfect Teacher. Kongtrul Rinpoche will lead an online retreat in which he gives a full reading transmission of this text along with his own detailed commentary. Rinpoche will also give the transmission for the Longchen Nyingtik Ngondro liturgy, a terma revealed by Jigme Lingpa. 

The program includes two talks a day by Rinpoche, a daily session led by senior students designed to help practitioners understand and become more familiar with the practice itself and a three-hour guided practice session each morning.

Patrul Rinpoche wrote The Words of My Perfect Teacher in a retreat cave high in the mountains of Tibet. His observations about the human condition and his steadfast encouragement to spiritual practice in the Longchen Nyingtik tradition are so direct that even today it feels as if he is speaking straight to us. All attendees are encouraged to have a copy of The Words of My Perfect Teacher.
