Nangjang was revealed by Dudjom Lingpa, a great visionary, terton and meditation master who lived and taught in the Golok region of Eastern Tibet in the 19th century. In this text he presents the view of Dzog Chen through the practice of Trek Chod ("cutting through solidity"). Among Tibetans the Nangjang is a standard text for training in this practice. Dudjom Lingpa's rebirth, the late HH Dudjom Rinpoche said of it, "The Nang-jang was prepared as an inexhaustible treasure trove of the gift of the Buddha's teachings, the relics of the dharmakaya." An excellent translation by Richard Barron, including the original Tibetan text, is available from Tibetan Treasures.

The teachings will be presented in a series of three or four weekends. The third weekend will be in 2008, time and date to be announced. If you would be interested in a make-up session or review session for the first weekend, please contact us at nyc@palyul.org

This teaching is open to those who have received Ngondro teachings and a Guru Padmasambhava empowerment or any other inner-tantra empowerment. A review session of the first session will be offered a few weeks prior to the teaching upon request via internet.
