We are happy to announce that Khenpo Gelek Jinpa will continue to teach the experiential dzogchen instructions of Khandro Jyanchub Gyurmema on March 9-10. Her heart instructions are very special and point directly to the essence of one’s mind, how to practice on the path of liberation and how to abide in the natural state. Her experience is a great example and inspiration for all dzogchen practitioners.
The Finnish sangha Dechen Ritrö will organize this online retreat. The photo depicts the unfinished thangka of Jyanchub Gyurmema and her life.

Deeply understand that what we feel, other beings feel, their pain is the same as our pain, our struggle for happiness is their struggle, too.” More in speechofdelight.org

Khenpo Gelek Jinpa: ”Every thought, emotion and action leave a karmic imprint, as a foot leaves an imprint in snow. Every moment we have a choice to live a situation in a positive or a negative way. Our mind is a wonderful creator of everything, be aware of it. That’s why human life is so precious. It gives us a rare opportunity to discover peaceful, loving, compassionate qualities of the mind, its true nature, and let them prevail in our life.” Speech of Delight
