🌑 Entering into the Mandala of the Yangti Nakpo Lineage 🌑

To support our community and those that feel drawn to the Yangti Nakpo and a connection to Chung Tulku Rinpoche, we are happy to introduce our new Yangti Nakpo Ngöndro Platform. This is an open-ended online container for practitioners entering the path of the Yangti Nakpo lineage.

Inside the platform you have access to:
༜ The necessary practice texts
༜ High resolution refuge tree images
༜ Recordings of past monthly sessions from Lama Justin & Chung Rinpoche
༜ Monthly Sunday Sessions
༜ Access to a Community-Led WhatsApp Group

We gather on the last Sunday of each month from 4–6pm ET for instruction, group practice, and to address questions about the concise and medium-length Yangti Nakpo Ngöndro practices. Based on guidance received from H.E. Chung Tulku Rinpoche, Lama Justin has confirmed a clear path for practitioners to progress through the lineage Ngöndro before receiving the Trikaya Guru Empowerment and beginning the associated mantra accumulation retreats. This platform gathers the necessary support so that all aspiring practitioners have what they need to engage these practices fully.

What comes to light in the dark? What becomes clear when you strip away all visual stimuli for a sustained amount of time? The advanced Vajrayana practice of dark meditation practiced in the Nyingma school’s Dzogchen (Great Perfection) tradition aims to answer these questions and accelerate practitioners’ path to awakening. With new retreat centers opening and high-profile athletes and actors taking part, this once-secretive practice is gaining popularity. But dark meditation, also known as yangti yoga, is meant for experienced students under qualified teachers.

On Wednesday, June 17, our own spiritual director Justin von Bujdoss joins Tricycle to share more about the purpose of this advanced practice, how one prepares for it, and the transformative potential of the dark. We hope you’ll tune in.

Pilgrimage day 5

Our first day in the Bumthang valley we reunited with Chung Rinpoche joined by a group of young Anis from his nunnery. We visited Jambay Lhakang and Tamshing Lhakhang. Tamshing is sacred to Pema Lingpa, containing an iron shall said to eliminate one's negative karma. The main statue in the temple is said to have been formed by dakinis while the face was finished by Pema Lingpa himself.

Following these visits we enjoyed lunch at a Swiss restaurant before journeying to Kenchosum Lhakhang where we were incredibly fortunate to receive an audience with H.H. Sungtrul Rinpoche, the speech emanation of Pema Lingpa. During which he gave a brief lung (reading transmission) and showed us a few sacred relics held within the Lhakang.
