This is first empowerment often given in the extensive cycle of meditations and contemplations of the Drikung Gonpo Yangzab Dzogchen tradition. It is a profound yoga taught by Padmasambhava and revealed by the 16th century saint Gyalwang Rinchen Phuntsok. It’s aim is to increase longevity so we can realize deathless primordial wisdom. Lama Mark will also give instructions for the Longevity practice and guidance to understand the reasons and methods for generation and completion phase meditations.
Attendance for the complete transmission is recommended.
