Is there a tradition of Dzogchen?

  • Summary

  • Series "What is Dzogchen?" episode 3: Is there a Dzogchen tradition? With Philippe Cornu and Damien Brohon. Host : Nils.

    For more information about the life and work of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, a great 19th-century Buddhist and Dzogchen master in Tibet, quoted by Damien Brohon, see: https://treasuryoflives.org/biographies/view/Jamyang-Khyentse-Wangpo/4291.

    Concerning the currents of the Nyingma schools ("traditions") which regroup several lineages - notably terma lineages - and which are then preserved in certain places, it is mentioned in particular the "chang-ter", the termas of the north, in reference to the monastery of Dorje Drak where this tradition was preserved, which is located on the north bank of the Yarlung Tsangpo river in central Tibet (the highest river in the world)... almost opposite the monastery of Mindrolling, on the south bank, where the tradition of the termas of the south was preserved.


    These two monasteries were rebuilt outside of Tibet, in India, following the annexation of the territory and their destruction by Communist China. They have since been rebuilt in Tibet.
