Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche recorded and posted to YouTube a series of dzogchen teachings known as the Fivefold Teachings of Dawa Gyaltsen.
Rinpoche has mentioned he wants everyone to know that he has invested some effort into making these teachings available online, and therefore, he asks that if you find these teachings personally valuable, please take the initiative to let other people who are likely to be interested know about these teachings, either directly or through other email lists you subscribe to.
These heart-essence teachings are remarkable in part because someone of Rinpoche’s capacity is making them available to such a wide audience, and also because they offer such a direct introduction to the nature of mind. In the few days since these recordings were posted, they have received accolades from people worldwide, many of whom are receiving their first introduction to Rinpoche’s teachings through these videos. For example:
“The Fivefold teaching is the best Dzogchen/Mahamoudra teaching I ever heard. I am very much impressed by the way Rimpoche is teaching…. Your students are very lucky.” – Jeanory
“Profound and life changing teaching. People who stumble upon this are truly blessed…” – OneOracle
“Rinpoche – Beautiful and profound teachings! We are so fortunate to have you here in the West. May the dharma flourish!” – cmallison143
“THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THESE TEACHINGS RINPOCHE . I live in northern Alaska and have no access to teachers here. So to receive teachings from you through You Tube makes me VERY HAPPY . Again THANK YOU VERY MUCH.” -manateeak
“This is an invaluable lesson. Detailed strong awareness is the most healing thing one can obtain. Short and clear, very good guidance!” -briach
About the Teachings
In this eight-part series of dzogchen teachings, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche explains the essence of a heart teaching by Dawa Gyaltsen, an eighth century meditation master from the Bon Buddhist tradition of Tibet. These teachings are designed to guide one directly to the root of one’s self, to the clear and blissful experience that is the true nature of mind.
