Join Geshe Denma Gyaltsen on April 25–29, 2019 at Chamma Ling Retreat Center near Crestone, Colorado for a retreat on “Longevity Practice of Lama Tsewang Rikdzin,” the first in a series of three retreats on Soul and Life Force Retrieval that will be taught over the next year. This ritual, although complete in itself, is part of a group of of practices that is called Soul and Life Force Retrieval that will be taught in three consecutive retreats. 

Lama Tsewang Rikdzin was the son of the great Bön sage Drenpa Namkha. Literally, tsewang translates as power of life or power of longevity. Geshe Denma Gyaltsen will teach from the ancient text of the Tsewang Jarima.

Geshe Denma Gyaltsen is the resident lama of Ligmincha Texas, resides in Houston, and has taught at centers throughout the United States and Europe. Born in northern Nepal, he began his studies at Menri Monastery in 1981, receiving all the teachings, initiations and transmissions in sutra, tantra and dzogchen, and was awarded the geshe degree in 1996.
