Tulku Theglo Rinpoche is the son of Dzongter Kunzang Nyima, the Speech Emanation of Dudjom Lingpa and as a result of this connection and through his own training and practice, he is thoroughly saturated with the blessings of the lineage of Dudjom Lingpa, and those of his own father who revealed more than 60 volumes of termas. His mother was Rintso of the Tug Gya family. Read more ~~~>
The “Sole Mother” or Troma Nagmo, the Black Wrathful Dakini, is one of the most profound termas (treasures) revealed by Trakthung Dudjom Lingpa. This cycle represents the union of method and incisive knowledge as it combines the heart of sutra practice, the Prajnaparamita and the essence of tantra, the mahamudra chod, as the quintessential method of the Secret Heart Essence cycle of the Great Perfection. Chod, or Severance, is the practice that directly severs the root of suffering, self-fixation, with exceptionally expedient wisdom methods. It is well known that through the Troma Nagmo cycle of practice thirteen of Dudjom Lingpa’s disciples attained the rainbow body, and it is predicted that many more will continue to do so for three generations to come.
At the request of Lama Sonam Rinpoche, Sangye Khandro will return this year, 2016, to lead the Troma Retreat. Sangye Khandro will teach from Master Pema Lungtok Gyatso’s extensive commentary to Terton Dudjom Lingpa’s terma revelation, Heart Essence of Saraha. This commentary was composed at the request of the Terton himself and is a comprehensive treatise that underscores
the preliminary instructions in detail that surpasses Patrul Rinpoche’s, Words of My Perfect Teacher. Each word of the terma is embedded in the commentary entitled An Ambrosia Ocean of Sublime Explanations [Dudjom Lingpa’s Chod].
During this practice oriented retreat, we will practice the four feasts each day and the intermediate ngondro will be accumulated along with instructions that will be given during the mid morning and afternoon sessions. Each evening the concise sadhana and tsok will be offered. The intermediate sadhana will launch the retreat and conclude it on the final day.
It is advised to attend every session to derive maximum benefit and keep continuity with the instructions.
New students who have an interest in the Troma Cycle
are welcome and encouraged to attend the retreat.

Buddhahood Without Meditation
A Visionary Account Known as Refining Apparent Phenomena
Part One of a Teaching Series @ Pema Osel Ling
The lung will be given on Saturday, February 27th
The Nang Jang is a collection of Dzogchen (Trekchod) instructions that Dudjom Lingpa received in a series of visionary encounters with various enlightened beings. Dudjom Lingpa remarked that, of his teachings, the “Nang Jang is so powerful that even hearing it read aloud ensures that the listener will eventually escape the suffering of samsara.”
His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, who wrote a structural analysis and outline of this precious text, said, “The Nang Jang was prepared as an inexhaustible treasure trove of the gift of the Buddha’s teachings, the relics of the dharmakaya.”
“The Nang Jang teachings with Tulku Jigme Wangdrak Rinpoche are very special, not only because of the Dudjom Tersar lineage but because Tulku Jigme Wangdrak Rinpoche holds the family blood lineage as a descendant of Dudjom Lingpa, so the blessings are very direct. I encourage you all to please come and connect with these teachings.“ Lama Sonam Tsering Rinpoche
