The heart of the sun and moon
Retreat with Ngak’chang Rinpoche & Khandro Déchen
In-person only
Ngak’chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen will explore vajra romance as the living application and dynamism of the Nyi-da Mélong – a Dzogchen tantra from the cycle of visionary revelations, realised by the enigmatic Nyingma ‘treasure discoverer’ Khyungchen Aro Lingma (1886-1923). These teachings put to rest the myth that celibacy holds demonstrable spiritual advantages over a natural life. It opens the door to those who are inspired by the desire to integrate every aspect of human life with spiritual practice. Romance is portrayed as the pervasive stratum of the senses and sense-fields – and, as such, it is appreciated as the life-blood of the creative arts. Although this teaching is common, in its essential form, to all Vajrayana traditions, it has never before been extrapolated in such detail with regard to how it is lived within romantic relationships. Vajra romance is discussed in profound depth; the spiritual vivacity of: falling in love; perceptual intimacy; non-dual passion; liberated-lust; and the poignant possibility of remaining in love indefinitely.
To experience vajra romance is to enter the heart of the sun and moon.
