About this Retreat
Details of this retreat
Join us online for dzogchen teachings with Geshe Tenzin Yangton. Geshe-la will teach from the Experiential Transmission of Zhang Zhung by Dru Gyalwa Yungdrung, also known as the Chaktri. Specifically, Geshe-la will teach from the 2nd chapter, the ngo zhi, which includes the main practices of this important cycle of teaching.
The Experiential Transmission has been a cornerstone of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's Winter Retreat teachings at Serenity Ridge for over 30 years.
Geshe Tenzin Yangton was the first permanent resident lama of Serenity Ridge Retreat Center. All who met Geshe-la or were blessed to study with him recall his gentleness, kind nature, and deep knowledge of the teachings. Whether teaching sutra, tantra or dzogchen, Geshe Yangton made the teachings approachable to all.
After leaving Serenity Ridge and residing at Menri Monastery, Geshe Yangton, then went on an extended personal retreat. In November of 2024 he came out of retreat and returned to Kathmandu, Nepal, where he currently resides. This will be his first teaching since leaving Serenity Ridge and his first time teaching on line.
We hope you will join us in welcoming Geshe-la back to teaching western students, and take advantage of this special opportunity to receive the wisdom of the Bön teachings and his direct experience. That will be a very special gift for all who come.
Geshe Tenzin Yangton was born into the profound Yangton Lineage in 1974 in Chharka, Dolpo, Nepal. As a child he completed the customary three-year retreat at Yanggon Monastery. In 1990 he became a monk at Triten Norbutse Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal, taking his vows from Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche. In 1992 Geshe Tenzin arrived at Menri Monastery in Dolanji, India, and enrolled in the Bön Dialectic School. There he studied sutra, tantra, and dzogchen. He was awarded the auspicious degree of Geshe in 2006. For several years, Geshe Tenzin served as the resident lama at Serenity Ridge Retreat Center, the headquarters of Ligmincha International located in rural Nelson County, Virginia, U.S.A, until health issues led him to seek treatment and support in Asia. He is the coordinator of Yanggon Thongdrop Phuntsog Ling Monastery and Dolpo Tsaga Welfare Healthcare Clinic. He is putting his best efforts towards maintaining and developing facilities in Chharka in order to preserve the culture and teachings of Bön in general and of the Yangton lineage in Chharka in particular.
