Weekend Teachings with Khenpo Tashi
Highlights from the Beacon of Certainty by Mipham Rinpoche
What is our practice actually built on?
Many of us have spent years on the path: meditating, deepening compassion, engaging in Vajrayana practice, receiving profound teachings that have inspired and transformed us. Yet at a certain point, questions like this begin to arise. What are we truly recognizing in meditation? How do we distinguish genuine understanding from concepts, experiences, or passing states?
The great masters of the Nyingma tradition understood that these questions cannot be answered through faith alone. They require investigation, reflection, and a View that becomes clear through our own experience.
For these teachings, Khenpo Tashi draws on selected highlights from The Beacon of Certainty by Mipham Rinpoche, a profound text of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Structured around essential questions of view and meditation, the text guides practitioners with remarkable precision through the relationship between appearance and emptiness, analysis and direct experience, understanding and realization.
Deeply grounded in the lineage of Longchenpa and Mipham Rinpoche, Khenpo Tashi has a rare ability to make these teachings feel immediate and alive, revealing how they relate directly to our own path and experience.
These teachings are open to all practitioners with a grounding in meditation and Lojong.
The retreat, held in the new Dzogchen Beara temple, will include periods of silence including during tea breaks and some meal times.
