WHAT WE WILL EXPLORE
This gathering with Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche is a unique opportunity to connect to the unbroken living lineage of Tibetan Buddhism coming from the Buddha to Guru Rinpoche and the lineage masters to us. We can tap into its extraordinary vision of the flawlessly radiant and sky-like nature of our mind and heart.
As spiritual heir of the great Kyabjé Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche offers teachings that invite us to gently explore and practise Vajrayana together.

At the heart of this event are Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche’s teachings on Guru Rinpoche, regarded not simply as the person who brought the Buddha’s teachings to Tibet, but as the embodiment of the wisdom and compassion of all the buddhas and the ultimate reminder of our own buddha potential. The teachings show that by invoking the blessings of Guru Rinpoche, we are able to open our mind and heart beyond their ordinary limitations—this is seen as the essence of the Vajrayana path.
In this context, "blessing" points to something experiential: the way that teachings, practices, and the loving and profound atmosphere of realization created by the spiritual masters can inspire and reawaken something within us, which, like the sky momentarily covered by the clouds, is always there.
Running through this introduction to the path of Vajrayana is the theme of devotion—understood here not as blind faith, but as a skillful way of revealing our innate wisdom. In a fragmented and distracted world, this quality of trust and inner connection can become a genuine source of protection and serenity.
WHO THIS EVENT IS FOR
No prior experience with Tibetan Buddhism is required—only an open mind and a genuine interest in exploring these teachings and this living tradition.
As Rinpoche will teach on the Seven-Line Prayer and guru yoga, the event is especially beneficial for students practising the Vajrayana Preliminaries (Ngöndro) and Vajrayana practices.
