Please note that Phakchok Rinpoche has stated that these teachings are open to participants who have already received Mahayoga empowerments. Ideally, these empowerments would be in the Chokling Tersar lineage, but those who have received a Mahayoga empowerment for Guru RInpoche in another tradition are also welcome. We ask that you respect this request.
We are delighted to announce that the next teaching in the series will occur on December 21. The instructor will be Drupla Sherab Dorje. The topic will be Visualization and is appropriate for students on the Path of Realization who have had Mahayoga empowerments. Teachings will focus on the key principles of Vajrayana development stage practice and how to train in the stages of deity visualization.

Out of his vast kindness and compassion, Phakchok Rinpoche has designed a year long monthly teaching program that will consist of live 2-day weekend teaching events. The topics and the specific texts were specially chosen by Rinpoche to create a nurturing support system for the students and to further strengthen their knowledge and assimilation on the paths of transformation and realization.
Samye Institute is delighted to announce the launch of our Samye Monthly Teaching series featuring live teachings from our esteemed Khenpos and Druplas.
These monthly teaching events will be held on the weekends, to accommodate the schedules of as many as possible. We also encourage each individual to use these teaching topics as a focus for a contemplative weekend retreat. By integrating the three trainings of listening, contemplating and meditating on each of these core topics over the weekend, one can gain some genuine insight and experience.
The topics for the first 6 of these online teachings will be:
- Mind Training
- Ngondro: Preliminary Practices
- Visualization
- Samaya
- Sang offering
- Chöd Practice
Rinpoche will appoint different Druplas to teach on these topics, and Rinpoche will also teach on selected occasions.
