Building on H. E. Kalu Rinpoche’s popular course The Illusory Body and Mind, this next chapter delves even deeper into the luminous wisdom of Niguma.
Journey through the Yogas of Niguma with Rinpoche as your guide, exploring foundational practices like guru yoga and tummo before he guides you into Niguma’s dream yoga. Together, these practices have the potential to create profound shifts in awareness and being.
Discover how to cut through the noise of praise and blame, identify and overcome distraction, and embrace impermanence—not as a limitation, but as a gateway to boundless compassion and joy. Rinpoche’s vivid teachings and guided visualizations open the door to abandoning identity, knowing the true meaning of renunciation, and inhabiting the essence of the path with clarity and courage.
This course represents a powerful encounter with dakini wisdom, rendered timeless through the voice of a remarkable teacher.
The course begins March 14, 2025. Scroll down for a full schedule.
