Secret Drop of Nectar: Three Essential Pointing-Out Instructions

With Greg Patenaude

September 22 - December 22, 2024

Join our Sangha-led journey through the profound teachings of Rinpoche’s “Secret Drop of Nectar: Three Essential Pointing-Out Instructions,” a text he authored in 2019 for the summer Dzogchen retreat. Building on the foundational practices introduced in “Secret Path of the Siddhas,” this course delves into the introductory teachings on recognizing the nature of the mind as presented by Rinpoche. Designed for students who have previously engaged with “Secret Path of the Siddhas,” especially those who have completed the recent 100-day practice intensive, this course is ideal for anyone ready to deepen their understanding and practice of the Dzogchen path.

What the Course Offers:

  • Weekly group discussions and Dharma talks led by senior students, focused on going through Rinpoche’s teachings as delivered during the summer retreat.
  • Access to course materials including audio recordings, the original text by Rinpoche, and detailed transcripts of the teachings.

Course Schedule:

  • September 22 to December 22 (Note: Dates are subject to adjustment based on the pace and completion of the course content).
  • Regular sessions every Sunday at 4 PM Pacific time, conducted via Zoom, emphasizing a practice-oriented approach with opportunity for dialogue and questions.

Suggested donation: $50, which includes full access to all course materials.
