Reclaiming the Unbroken Lineage Buddhist principles and practices for survival in the concrete jungle or any place you may be at any given time
Wednesdays, 7 to 9 pm at Yeshe Nying Po
with Tej Hazarika Every session will be a guided inquiry into the causes of our experience,
to expose the underlying self-generating entity
which manifests as a complex system of billions of organisms
breathing and co-existing symbiotically, all within view of
our own five senses, describable by words, with the mind aware of itself as the
mirror of it’s objects.
The aim of this presentation is to allow us to see how solutions to problems are usually found in the close proximity of our nostrils...
The course will familiarize seekers, skeptics or believers, with the un-fabricated bases of what are known as the
Preliminary Practices or Ngondro of the ‘lightening path’ (Vajrayana).
Far from being ‘preliminary’ these practices are in reality highly skillful and essential to learning how to ‘stand up’ our inner gyroscopes so that our paths and the goals become one, not two,
along the great highway of boundless compassion.

The guide About the Guide: In 1979 Tej Hazarika (Sherab Dorje) received this Ngondro teaching from Dudjom Rinpoche.
Since then, he made efforts to keep his connection to it and now enjoys every opportunity to present it as a course of discovery.
The Tradition These Ngondro teachings and practices have been passed down to us by unbroken lineages of realized masters, male and female, of the Nyingmapa or Ancient tradition initiated in the 9th Century Tibet by Buddhist master Padmasambhava also known as the Lotus Born.
Outstanding examples of realized men and women are Vimalamitra, Yeshe Tsogyal, and Vairotsana (9th century), Machig Labdron (1055 – 1149), Longchenpa (1308-1363), Jigme Lingpa (1729-1798), Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820-1892) and Dudjom Lingpa (19th century), the immediate predecessor of H. H. Dudjom Rinpoche (1904-1987).
The Location Yeshe Nying Po was the historic New York City residence of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche (Jigdrel Yeshe Dorje) in New York City.
Established in the mid-seventies the Center with its Temple (recently expanded), has served as a hub for Nyingmapa Buddhist teachings and as well as a place for offering services.
The lineage continues under the guidance of H. H. Shenphen Dawa Rinpoche.
