Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche & Professor Robert Thurman

Please join us online or live in New York as part of our in-studio audience for this exciting episode on Monday, April 28 at 7:00 pm EST.

In this Wisdom Dharma Chat, Rinpoche and Thurman will come together for an exploration of wisdom, perception, and the nature of mind. Drawing from the vast philosophical traditions of Buddhist thought and the direct experience of meditative realization, this conversation will offer insights into how we can transform our habitual ways of seeing, recognize the mindโ€™s innate clarity, and embrace a path of self-liberation.

Zen and Vajrayana: Two Direct Paths to Awakening, Online 4/26

Teachers
Chris Jay Kokyo Henkel
Practice Center
Online
Date / Time
April 26, 2025 / 9:00


This online dialogue brings together two deeply experienced practitioners from the Zen and Vajrayana traditions to explore paths of awakening to our true nature for the benefit of all.
Chris Jay, with decades of immersion in both Rinzai Zen and Tibetan Buddhismโ€”including seven years of monastic training in Kyoto and a three-year Vajrayana retreatโ€”offers insight into the interplay between these traditions.
Kokyo Henkel, a Soto Zen teacher with extensive Vajrayana training, bridges these lineages through his years of practice and teaching.
Together, they will engage in an open discussion on themes such as Buddha-nature and guru devotion, inviting reflections on the convergence and distinctions between these approaches.
Participants are invited to send in questions and ask questions during the discussion, so the conversation can follow the interests of those attending. Information on how to submit questions in advance is included in the welcome materials.
Recordings:
All course sessions will be recorded, and registered participants will receive temporary access to the recordings for later viewing.
On April 20, 2025, Tulku Thadral Will Oversee the Transmission of Dudjom Rinpocheโ€™s Mind Treasure: Orgyen Menla

Orgyen Menla, also known as the Medicine Buddha, is a manifestation of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) in the form of a healing deity. In the Dudjom Tersar lineage, the practice of Orgyen Menla is encapsulated in the โ€œOrgyen Menla Dรผtsi Bum Zang,โ€ which translates to โ€œThe Excellent Vase of Nectar.โ€ This practice is part of the Tsokye Thuk Thik cycle revealed by Dudjom Rinpoche, Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, in 1929.

The primary aim of the Orgyen Menla practice is to alleviate both temporary and long-term ailments caused by disturbances in the bodyโ€™s elements. Dudjom Rinpoche noted that its purpose is โ€œto clear away all temporary and long-term deterioration that comes about through the disturbance of the elements and so forth of oneself and others.โ€œ

Dudjom Rinpoche composed the practice while in Lhasa, as indicated in the colophon of the text. He wrote: โ€œI, Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, wrote this down as it occurred to me during the auspicious time of the thirteenth day of the seventh month, on the eastern side of the Rasa Trulnang [Jokhang] temple in Lhasa, in the immeasurable palace of Napรถ, Lovely to Behold.โ€œ (Heartteachings.com)

For those interested in engaging with this practice, Tulku Thadral Rinpoche will give the Empowerment during The 2025 Dudjom Ngondro Retreat on April 20th along with the Refuge Ceremony, and Bodhisattva Vows.

RESOURCES:

Heart Teachings by Lama Tharchin Rinpoche offers the โ€œOrgyen Menla Recitation 1997โ€ mp3 and teachings.

To deepen oneโ€™s understanding, โ€œThe Excellent Vase of Nectarโ€ text is available through Dharma Treasures, providing comprehensive guidance on the ritual and its significance. They also offer statues and images of Orgyen Menla.
