STARTING JANURARY 27TH 2026
TUESDAYS 12 -  2 PM EST | 9 - 11 AM PST


The 16th century Tibetan meditation master known as Jatsön Nyingpo (trans. Rainbow Heart) was a very important tertön, or treasure revealer, dzogchen master, and teacher of very prominent masters of the time including: 10th Karmapa Choying Dorje, the 4th Goshir Gyaltsab Rinpoche Drakpa Dundrub, the great dzogchenpa Tsele Natsok Rangdrol and the great yogin Lhatsun Namkha Jigme who was an important figure in the propagation and subsequent thriving of dharma in Sikkim.

Jatsön Nyingpo revealed a number of termas written by Yeshe Tsogyal, one of the most important ones being the Könchok Chidü, or The Embodiment of the Precious Ones. This expansive terma cycle is best known for a Guru Rinpoche sadhana that is well known throughout the Tibetan Buddhist world and commonly included within the 3-year retreat curricula within the Karma Kagyu Lineage.

Much less practiced, and included within the larger Könchok Chidü terma cycle is the Dzogchen cycle known as the Khamsum Yongdrol or The Complete Liberation of the Three Realms, compiled and organized by the 19th century master Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye. This cycle is a very important part of the way that the practice of dzogchen entered into the Karma Kagyu tradition and is a powerful guidebook for the practice of the full path of Ati Yoga in a way that supports the practitioner in an even, steady way.

Dzogchen (Sanskrit: Ati Yoga) is the most simple, direct, and profound path to reveal the sky-like nature of our own mind which is clear, vast, and unobstructed by the clouds of afflictive emotions.

During this year-long on-line program we will explore the direct instructions that Jatsön Nyingpo offers on touching into the mind’s true nature in daily life and liberating afflictive emotions so that the rigpa-state is able to be experienced.  This unique lineage, combined with Lama Justin's (Ngakpa Jatsön Rangdrol) clear explanation and practical instructions make this retreat an invaluable support for both beginner and advanced meditators of any lineage.

Join us for this immersion into the heart of Dzogchen meditation from the Könchok Chidü.

  • Immerse in this unique Dzogchen cycle with a mix of live & pre-recorded classes with Lama Justin along with a weekly Friday Community Sit

  • All participants will receive access to limited edition translation of The Complete Liberation of the Three Realms by Jatsön Nyingpo.

  • Receive a 7-day online Trekchö Retreat included with registration for deeper integration and opportunity for intensive practice

  • Additional optional camping style Rushen Retreat at the Yangti Yoga Retreat Center in Buckland, MA.
