OR

3)      Having received the transmission of the Vipashana section of Mahamudra Ocean of Definitive Meaning by Guru Vajradhara the 12^th Kenting Tai Situpa and completed a minimum of 100 hours of these practices. (Please note that if you are taking part in Guru Vajradhara’s current transmission of this text that started in 2016, since the section on Vipashana hasn’t been taught yet, being part of this batch does not qualify you to join the last year of transmission of Mingyur Rinpoche’s Moonbeams transmission in 2020.)

Composed by Dakpo Tashi Namgyal this treatise is one of the two main Mahamudra Text for the Kagyupa Tradition.
During this last year of transmission, Rinpoche will continue the teaching on the Nature of Mind, including the 4 yogas of Mahamudra. 

The Words of my Perfect Teacher is a well known text from the Nyigmapa Tradition composed by Patrul Rinpoche.
This year topics are: The Yogi Accumulation of Merit (Kusala or Chod), the Guru Yoga and The Transfer of Consciousness at the time of death (Phowa).

Milarepa is a renowned yogi from Tibet famous for his songs of enlightenment (dohas). Receiving the transmission of the profound meaning of his sacred words from Guru Vajradhara is a precious and extraordinary opportunity to connect with his blessings and deepen our insight into the nature of the mind and phenomena.

After receiving the transmission of Milarepa's songs of enlightenment (dohas) we will have the auspicious opportunity to gather and practice together for a seven-day retreat on the Guru Yoga of Milarepa. Practicing together in this retreat will surely bring inspiration and insight in each participant's mind. During the retreat the Vajra Master will give instructions on how to perform the sadhana (practice text), visualization, etc., so each participant will then be able to do this practice at home.

If you have attended the Discovering the Buddha Within Year 1 in another country, please register directly with us : [email protected]. Send us your name, surname, email and the name of the Palpung center where you have received the first year.
