Finding Comfort and Ease in Meditation
Younge Khachab Rinpoche returns to Kansas City to teach the profound
methods of Dzogchen Semde (Mind Collection) from Longchenpa’s
“Finding Comfort and Ease in Meditation” (Samten Ngalso).
Longchenpa, also known as Longchen Rabjam, ‘Infinite, Vast Expanse of Space’, or
Drimé Özer (1308-1364), was one of the most brilliant teachers of the Nyingma lineage.
He systematized the Nyingma teachings in his ‘Seven Treasures’ and wrote extensively
on Dzogchen. He transmitted the Longchen Nyingtik cycle of teachings and practice
to Jikmé Lingpa, and it has since become one of the most widely practised of traditions.

Younge Khachab Rinpoche
The Four Aspects of Buddha Nature &
An Introduction to Channels and Winds (Tsa Lung)
Buddha Nature:
All sentient beings are said to have Buddha nature, the innate capacity to awaken fully i.e. become Buddhas. Khachab Rinpoche will explain Buddha nature in four profound points, drawing both on classical texts and his own experience.
Introduction to channels and winds:
Vajrayana practice is rooted in the idea that the anatomy of the body itself can be harnessed as a tool for awakening. In order to harness the body in this way, one needs to understand the meaning of the channels, cakras and winds (nadi, cakra, and vayu) that govern the
functions of the physical body, their role in the development of the body in the womb, and the functions of the sense organs and so on.
