Garab Dorje’s The Three Statements that Strike the Vital Point
February 1 @ 9:30 am – February 2 @ 6:00 pm UTC-8
Teachings by Lama Mark Webber (Lama Chokyi Gyaltsen)
The Dharma community of Bowen Island is pleased to announce that Lama Mark Webber will be teaching on Feb 1st & 2nd, 2025. These classes are open to practitioners of all levels, from beginners to advanced, and to anyone wishing to deepen their sense of freedom and compassion for all beings. He will instruct on “thoroughly cutting through” based on a famous and lucid text called the Three Statements that Strike the Vital Point: a root text and commentary written by Dza Patrül Rinpoche, a great Dzogchen master of the 19th century.
The training is called Trekchö or “thoroughly cutting through’ to the root or nature of mind. Trekchö, is a form of natural and effortless Penetrative Insight, taught within the tradition of Dzogchen — Great Completion. It requires a unification of wisdom and compassion and a profound understanding of the inseparability of the view, meditation and conduct of a bodhisattava. Introducing and clarifying these three key points is essential and is given through direct guidance.
