We cordially invite you to join us for the 32nd Treasury of Knowledge retreat with Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche in Austin, Texas, the weekend of Friday, January 22 – Sunday, January 24, 2027. Rinpoche’s teachings will fall during the closing weeks of the Fire Horse year, in the quiet reflective season leading into Losar – a fitting time to gather, study and turn inward before the new year of the Fire Sheep begins.
The title of Rinpoche’s program is Mind-Free Awareness: The Vital Points of Dzogchen. This is a continuation of Dzogchen teachings that Rinpoche began at TOK in 2024.
The program will be hybrid – both online and in-person. This is the onsite –residential or commuter– registration page. Onsite attendees should register by January 10, 2027.
