Transmission of Longchenpa’s Seven Treasuries

by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche 

4-13 November 2023, Wānaka, Aotearoa New Zealand

The_eminent master Longchen Rabjam (Longchenpa) (1308-1364) had an unparalleled ability to transmit the essence of the Buddhadharma according to the most profound view of the Nyingma School. To this day, his potent instructions are accessible to fortunate practitioners around the world.

The Seven Treasuries are Longchenpa’s most renowned and influential treatises. They are a synthesis of the entire path to liberation, providing a systematic overview of exoteric and esoteric topics from the view of the Great Perfection. Dza Patrul Rinpoche said:

“Simply hearing one line of such an excellent text
Can bring your saṃsāric experience to a halt.”

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche has kindly agreed to offer the reading transmission (lung) of these precious works in Aotearoa, New Zealand, along with teachings and has given clear advice for all those considering coming to the event.

By receiving the reading transmission from a qualified lineage holder we will connect to the blessings and instructions that trace back to the Omniscient Longchenpa himself:

“As the power of the blessing lineage is unbroken,
You will receive the wisdom of the true lineage through his entrusted intention.
Sealed with his entrustment to future disciples,
It is equal to meeting the Omniscient Master in person.”*

What to Expect
A lung is when the lineage master reads an entire text for the audience to hear, usually very quickly in Tibetan. There will be times when Rinpoche stops to give explanations in English with Mandarin interpretation, but most of the time will entail sitting still allowing the transmission to enter your mind-stream. Consider carefully if this is the type of event you wish to experience.

Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche has also very kindly agreed to bestow the empowerment of Tikle Gyachen, The Sealed Quintessence, the innermost secret guru practice of the Longchen Nyingtik cycle, at the beginning of the Seven Treasuries event, as well as the empowerment of Ju Mipham Rinpoche’s Gesar Dorje Tsegyal: Gesar, the Vajra King of Life.

The Seven Treasuries transmission and the Tikle Gyachen and Gesar empowerments will take place on the outskirts of the small & friendly town of Wānaka. The township is located along the foreshores of a crystal clear lake that vividly reflects the surrounding snow capped peaks and vast sky in a unique light.

The alpine wilderness area is located in the centre of the South Island of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Please go to the registration page of this website to purchase a ticket and other registration information for this auspicious event.  

UPDATE: The event is currently heavily booked, but if you register you will be placed on the waiting list and advised by email if spaces become free.
