In this online retreat, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, together with Lama Rabten Tshering and Mitra Tyler Dewar, will explore how the timeless wisdom treasure of the great Tibetan meditation master Milarepa applies to us today – by looking especially at Milarepa’s wonderful Songs of Realization.
The Tibetan master of yogīs, Milarepa taught Mahāmudrā through the song called Ultimate View, Meditation, Conduct, and Fruition, which is his culminating instruction to Rechungpa, his main disciple besides Gampopa. In this series Mitra Dean Karl Brunnhölzl will discuss Milarepa’s Mahāmudrā teachings by primarily looking at this song.

Located in a peaceful environment & beautiful surrounding, Nalandabodhi’s Mahasiddha Retreat Centre (MRC) was established to offer a quiet, supportive space for contemplation and retreat – solo, with family & friends, or participating in a group program. You can fully relax and return home refreshed and rejuvenated.
Nestled in the breathtaking Canadian Rockies, MRC is in the Columbia River Valley surrounded by the Banff, Yoho and Kootenay National Parks. It is a wonderful spot for going out and exploring nature as well as turning inward and explore your mind.
“The whole purpose of mindfulness is to bring us back to this tiny spot of the present nature of ordinary mind.” (Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche). MRC offers many opportunities to take a break from the busyness of daily life, experience the present moment more vividly and practice mindfulness of body, speech & mind.
