Lama Lena - Dzogchen 'pointing out'

[Vajra Fist]

Just did a weekend inner mind rushen online retreat with Lama Lena, and would recommend it highly to anyone interested in Dzogchen or Mahamudra.

 

She's a fifty-year western disciple of the late Wangdor Rinpoche and has impeccable lineage credentials.

 

But what I liked most about her was the fact that the introduction was so easy to grasp, as we share a common native tongue. I'd tried receiving pointing out instructions elsewhere before but didn't really grasp it.

 

I'm not sure yet whether I'll go further into dzogchen with the three words teaching, and trekcho. Or whether to go the mahamudra route. (From what I gather teaches both through regular online classes)

 

Or whether I'll just wimp out and stick with the scenic route of samatha-vipassana, rather than attacking the sheer rockface that is dzogchen.

 

As said, just leaving the recommendation here for anyone who is interested in this but hasn't had the good fortune to run into a teacher.
