Brazos Buddhist Association Hosts And Invites You To Initiation and Teachings on the Yangtig Nagpo Lineage of Dark Retreat
October 29th – 31st, 2010
At Palri Pema Od Ling Austin, Texas
Jigme Norbu Rinpoche, born in central Tibet in 1983 and recognized by HH Dudjom Rinpoche at six months of age as Tulku of Longchen Yeshe Dorje (Kangyur Rinpoche), the great 20th century tertön who was one of the first Tibetan masters to accept Western students. His reincarnation was independently confirmed by HH the Dalai Lama, HH Sagya Trizin Rinpoche, HH Minling Rinpoche and HH Chogyal Tri Rinpoche. As a young child, Jigme Rinpoche was sent to India, where, under the protection of HH the Dalai Lama, he completed primary education at Tibetan Children’s Village in Dharamsala. His higher monastic education was completed at Namdroling Monastery in southern India.
The Yantig Nagpo, the "Single Golden Syllable of the Black Quintessence", is a cycle of teachings belonging to the yang ti class of Ati Yoga (Dzogchen). It contains practices upon the Hundred and Peaceful and Wrathful Deities and the Great Perfection, with some pith instructions upon the practice of meditation in complete darkness. It is a terma found by the later Dungtso Repa, 15th century. He was an emanation of Yeshe Tsogyal and Vairochana, and the immediate reincarnation of the first Dungtso Repa, who himself was a rebirth of Yeshe Dorje a disciple of Gampopa.
