Lopön Ögyen Ten'dzin Rinpoche
UK 2004
Empowerments & Teachings from the Düd’jom
gTér Cycle
October to December 2004
 Lopön
Ögyen Ten'dzin Rinpoche is a Nyingma Vajrayana master who teaches
in English with effortless good humour. He was born into the family lineage
of Pema Lingpa and has studied with many of the greatest Lamas of his
generation. His heart teacher was Kyabjé
Düd’jom Rinpoche (Jig’drèl Yeshé Dorje)
until his passing away in 1987.
Rinpoche has devoted his life to realising and passing on these teachings.
He served as head of the Nyingma Students Association at the Institute
of Higher Tibetan Studies in Varanasi for many years, is founder of the
Boddhicitta Foundation, a non-profit aid group in India and is now director
of the Lhundrüp Topgyé
Ling School in the remote Pemakö region on the border of Tibet
and India. This traditional school offers the only educational opportunities
in this area and its cultural preservation efforts include the full range
of education, arts, ritual, yogic traditions, music, dance and much more.
During this first visit to the United Kingdom, Rinpoche will give teachings
and empowerments from the Düd’jom gTér discovered by gTértön
Düd’jom Lingpa (1835-1904 - a Ngakpa and member of the White
Sangha of non-monastic Vajrayana practitioners). His lineage continued through
his incarnation, Kyabjé Düd’jom Rinpoche.
Lopön Ögyen Ten’dzin Rinpoche has kindly offered a rare
and wonderful opportunity for practitioners in the United Kingdom to receive
these empowerments that are hard to find as well as detailed and extensive
teachings.
You can receive close personal instructions in the central profound Düd’jom
gTér cycles from this extraordinary and inspiring master over a
period of 3 weeks during the Littlebourne Programme. He will also give
a series of seven weekly public evening talks as guest of The Buddhist
Society in London suitable for anyone interested in Buddhism.
