When reflecting on the many beautiful wisdom traditions available today, it can seem that spiritual progress requires a monumental change or tireless effort. But the path of Dzogchen — the “Great Perfection” — invites us to a different realization: that the wakefulness we seek is already here, hidden only by our subtle oversight in recognizing it.

On August 1, Mingyur Rinpoche will lead a special free kickoff webinar to launch a historic, year-long transmission of Dzogchen instructions. Drawn from the Dzogchen text The Heart Essence of the Primordial Secret, this cycle of teachings offers a direct guide to discovering our indestructible nature — a state of fearless, unimpeded presence available in any moment. This free webinar is an introductory overview of this Dzogchen view, and a roadmap for the transformative year of study and practice to come.

This webinar offers a rare opportunity to explore the historical significance of the Dorje Drolö lineage teachings and discover why they are particularly relevant for modern practitioners. You will learn how this year-long journey is structured and how these Dzogchen instructions can help you recognize your own true nature. Ultimately, it is a chance to spend time in the presence of a living lineage master as he illuminates the path of fearless wisdom.

What will I learn?

an introduction to the Dzogchen approach to mind and its nature
an overview of the upcoming year-long transmission of teachings
how an ancient wisdom tradition like Dzogchen can help us navigate the complexities of modern life

Great news from 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha

We are pleased to share that Toh 12, The Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines, has been translated into English and is now available in the 84000 Reading Room.

The Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines (Aṣṭasāhasrikāprajñāpāramitā) is a keystone of the prajñāpāramitā literature, presenting the Buddha's teaching on the topic in a relatively compact text that nevertheless covers the entire range of important points he taught. It is therefore considered to be one of the six "mother" works. It has been hugely influential in Mahayāna Buddhist thought across Asia, and gave rise to many commentaries in India and Tibet.

For the first time, this Mahāyāna sūtra will be recited in full in English from May 27–31.

Co-hosted by Sravasti Abbey and 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha, “In the Presence of the Tathagata” marks a historic moment in the transmission of the Buddha’s words.

In this short video, Venerable Thubten Chodron from Sravasti Abbey shares the heart of this precious sutra: to listen to it, take it in, keep it in mind, chant it, master it, and pass it on, so that its wisdom and realization may continue for the benefit of beings everywhere.

We warmly invite you to join this global resounding in person or online.
