H.E. Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche Coming to Serenity Ridge!
May 21–22 Teachings on Pith Instructions of the Khandros
We are honored to have H.E. Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche join us at Serenity Ridge for this special weekend retreat focused on the Dzogchen Yetri Thasel. He will teach on the chapter of the pith instruction of the khandros (female enlightened beings). The weekend will include a combination of teaching and practice.
H.E. Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche is the abbot (khenpo) of Triten Norbutse Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal, one of the two main Bon monasteries outside of Tibet.
It is rare to find a recorded lineage of female teachers in the Bon or Buddhist tradition. The Dzogchen Yetri Thasel includes a succession of women from throughout central and inner Asia who received precious dzogchen teachings and went on to achieve enlightenment. Their wisdom has been passed down in an unbroken lineage of practitioners. The pith instructions were collected and written down by eighth century Bonpo master Drenpa Namkha.
This teaching has only been given in the West a few times, and we are honored that Khen Rinpoche is offering this teaching at Serenity Ridge. We hope you will join us for this rare occasion.
