Throughout his life, Rinpoche has devoted himself to the propagation of Dzogchen and the revealed treasure teachings. His realization is profound, and his compassionate aspirations are vast and deep. In response to the sincere requests of his disciples, Rinpoche will personally bestow the following teachings and he graciously agreed to broadcast them via Zoom, so more of his international students can benefit from his wisdom.
First teaching:
Date: July 14 (Tue.) – July 17 (Fri.) 2026
Time: 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm Paris time
Teaching on Guru Yoga Based on Guru Rinpoche's Seven-Line Prayer and Tsok Offering
The Three Jewels are the foundation of all Buddhist practice, while the Three Roots are the Vajrayana embodiment of the practice of the Three Jewels. They are the key to bringing the refuge practice of the Sutrayana into concrete realization. Among them, the Guru is the root and ultimate essence of the Three Jewels and the Three Roots. As Lord Naropa said: "Before the Guru, even the name of Buddha was unheard; all Buddhas of the three times arise from the Guru." Therefore, the practice of Guru Yoga is the foundation of all blessings, accomplishments, and enlightened activities, and is of utmost importance.
Guru Rinpoche's Seven-Line Prayer is a common practice shared by all four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Since Guru Rinpoche is the foremost master of all gurus in Tibet, and all lineage masters of Tibet are manifestations of Guru Rinpoche's compassion, practicing the Seven-Line Prayer is equivalent to practicing the Guru Yoga of all lineages.

Ineffable Ultimate Confession - Yeshe Kuchog
The Confession of the Inexpressible Absolute Meaning is an exceptionally profound Vajrayana practice of confession and purification. It embodies the essence of the "Dzogchen view" and the "inner three samayas." This practice emphasizes the view of Dzogchen. In ultimate truth, there is "no self who confesses, no wrongdoing to be confessed, and no act of confession"; however, through the view of primordial wisdom, confession is applied to purify the obscurations that prevent the clear recognition of awareness. Therefore, it becomes the most profound form of confession, purifying the misdeeds and obscurations of oneself and all sentient beings.
This practice also includes the complete view, meditation, and conduct:
The view is like a garuda soaring through the sky: It possesses the ultimate view of the "eighteen emptinesses," vast and far-reaching, completely free from any doubt regarding the nature of phenomena.
Meditation is like a spark that sets a prairie ablaze: Through the vast cultivation of the "Thirty-Seven Factors of Enlightenment," one is freed from dullness and agitation, and qualities increase vividly like a blazing fire.
Conduct is like an elephant crossing a river: Based on bodhicitta, one's conduct and deportment become dignified, steady, and graceful, with each step grounded and assured.
In summary, all blessings and accomplishments in the Vajrayana depend upon pure samaya. This confession practice swiftly purifies downfalls and misdeeds committed toward the Guru, the Yidam, and vajra brothers and sisters due to afflictive emotions and ignorance. In particular, it purifies the faults of losing awareness through ignorance and unmindfulness. Through this, the samaya of the inner three secrets is restored, making this practice the king of all confession practices.

Teaching on The Song of Experiential Realization of the Dzogchen View — The Melodious Sound of the Lute
The Liberating Sound of Dharma in the Midst of the Noisy World
Through the most compassionate form of a "song of realization," Rinpoche will guide us to glimpse the supreme primordial wisdom of Dzogchen. This "song of realization" is a wisdom song that naturally arose from the pure nature of Mipham Rinpoche. It integrates the ultimate view of Dzogchen and serves as the most direct introduction to the nature of mind:
Primordial Perfection: The buddha nature of all sentient beings is originally complete. The melody of this song is intended to awaken our lost primordial awareness.
Practice in the Present Moment: Without being confined by elaborate rituals, one abides in the originally pure nature, breaking through dualistic grasping and entering the practice of non-meditation.
Spontaneous Fruition: Beyond primordial purity, the fruition is the effortless and spontaneous accomplishment of enlightened qualities — the ultimate meaning of other-emptiness, in which all qualities are inherently present and naturally accomplished.
We sincerely invite all Dharma friends and members of the public to cherish this precious Dharma connection and participate enthusiastically, so that together we may receive the benefit of the teachings. Through Rinpoche's vajra speech, may we dispel the clouds of confusion and directly realize the tathāgatagarbha that is inherently present within us.
