Two-Day Meditation Retreat in Boulder, Colorado
With Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche
April 25 - 26, 2026
Longchenpa’s Pith Instructions and Pristine Mind Meditation
Saturday, April 25th – Sunday, April 26th
In this retreat, Rinpoche will be using Longchenpa’s Precious Treasury of Essential (Pith) Instructions, the famous Mengak Dzo, and instruct participants in the meditation of “Pristine Mind”, which is rooted in the mind-class teachings of the Dzogchen tradition and is the subject of Rinpoche’s book, Our Pristine Mind.
Longchenpa said the following at the beginning of the Precious Treasury of Essential Instructions:
For the fortunate ones who aspire to liberation,
I have condensed the essence of the sutras, tantras, and pith instructions
And will teach these crucial and eminently profound points in verses of six instructions:Listen to them with respect.
It will be a weekend rich in teachings and practice and is appropriate for those newer to Buddhist teachings as well as practitioners with deep experience.
The location will be dependent upon the amount of those registered, but will take place in Boulder County and announced soon.
If this ends up taking place at a private home, there will be no charge for this retreat, but an offering to Rinpoche would be appropriate. If it ends up requiring renting a space, there may be a nominal charge.
Schedule for both Saturday and Sunday:
10:00-12:30
2:00-4:30
