The Home Retreat

A weekly online study program
This seven-year program is a comprehensive, authentic program of study and practice embedded in the Longchen Nyingtik lineage and Sogyal Rinpoche’s Dzogchen teachings.

The Home Retreat is one of the most comprehensive and authentic Tibetan Buddhist teaching and practice programs offered anywhere in the world.

The Home Retreat is an on-line study and practice program intended for Rigpa students who wish to follow the vast and unique teachings of Sogyal Rinpoche. It incorporates all of the teachings from Sogyal Rinpoche’s 2006 Three-Year Retreat plus some additional topics.

The Home Retreat is embedded in the Longchen Nyingtik lineage and the teachings of the ‘Great Perfection’, Dzogpachenpo, a dynamic, unbroken, living lineage of wisdom and compassion that leads us on a journey through the three yanas.  

In addition to the weekly on-line study program, the Home Retreat offers regular Zoom study sessions and monthly Zoom group gatherings. The Home Retreat does ask that you maintain a stable commitment to your study and practice each week.

(Completion of all Home Retreat modules, and 50 percent of the Ngöndro accumulations is a prerequisite for entry into Rigpa’s Dzogchen Mandala.)

 Due to popular demand, this exciting and dynamic seven year program is being offered to all Rigpa Mandala students, with the program starting in May 2025.
