Crestone, Colorado Retreat – Sept. 29 – Oct. 4: During the first 3 days of the retreat Rinpoche will teach the Experiential Teachings of Adzom Drukpa. Adzom Drukpa was one of the greatest lineage holders and propagators of the Longchen Nyingthig teachings. He achieved the Rainbow Body at his death in 1924, as did 13 of his disciples. This is only the second time these pith instructions have been taught in the West.

The second half of the retreat will be devoted to the practice of Dorje Trolo, a practice for overcoming external, internal and secret obstacles. Ad.zom Paylo Rinpoche and Adzom Gyalse Rinpoche have both said this is the best practice for our turbulent times. Adzom Gyalse Rinpoche will give the Dorje Trolo empowerment and then we will hold a Dorje Trolo Drubcho for 2 days. A drubcho is an intensive practice that accumulates significant merit for the practitioner and the environment and brings many blessings.
