It is with greatest delight and heartfelt joy that we announce the
bestowal of the Künzang Gongpa Zangthal transmissions at Lotus
Garden in fall 2010 by Kyabje Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche. The
bestowal of these immeasurably profound and rare teachings is a
truly fortunate event. It is surely due to the blessings of The
Three Rare and Sublime Ones and the ripening of the gathered merits
and aspirations of many lifetimes that we will have the
incomparable privilege of receiving these precious
transmissions.
Künzang Gongpa Zangthal (kun bzang dgongs pa zang thal), meaning
'Showing Directly the Realization of Samantabhadra,' is a complete
set of Mahasandhi instructions, from the preliminary level up to
thögal practices. It is the highest Dzogchen teachings of the
Northern Treasures tradition and is renowned throughout Tibet as
one of the three most supreme Dzogchen transmissions along with
Nyingthig Yabzhi and Ati Zabdön Nyingpo. It was revealed by
the great tertön Rigdzin Gödem (1337-1408) who was one of the three
foremost tertöns who were emanations of Guru Padmasambhava
himself.
The dates set for the bestowal of these profound transmissions are
from August 27th to 12th September, 2010. Kyabje Taklung Tsetrul
Rinpoche has most graciously agreed to transmit the entire wang
(abhishekas) and lung (reading transmissions) of Künzang Gongpa
Zangthal. Kyabje Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche is not only one of the
greatest living Nyingma masters teaching today but also one of the
principal lineage holders of the Jangter or the Northern Treasures.
And as such, the Künzang Gongpa Zangthal teachings are the very
essence of his very own lineage the renowned tradition of the
Northern Treasures.
