TULKU DAKPA RINPOCHE GIVES TEACHINGS IN DENMARK – The 2. of June. to 5. of June 2026 in Gjerrild

We are, as usual, very happy to tell you that Tulku Dakpa Rinpoche returns to Gjerrild in the early summer 2026.

The theme for this years teaching will be the continuation on a Dzogchen text written by the great master Longchen Rabjam (1308 – 1364). Longchenpa is considered to be one of the most outstanding and brilliant teachers of the Nyingma school. He systematised and clarified Dzogchen and many other aspects of Buddha’s teachings, in the many texts he wrote in his relative short lifetime.

The text will be ‘The Natural Freedom of the Ultimate Reality’ (chod nyid rang grol). The text is in three parts: Ground, Path (meditation) and Fruition (result). It’s a text which belongs to the trilogy named: ‘The Trilogy of Natural Freedom’ (rang grol skor gsum).

There is, as far as we are aware of, only one published edition of the text in english:

A kind of loose translation but with commentary in Traleg Kybgon’s, ’Three cycles of natural freedom’ (Shagom 2023).
