Denver Dzogchen

Chönyi Ling is a Buddhist meditation center focused on Nyingma & Kagyu Tibetan meditation practices Yates St., Denver, CO 80219). location.

Denver Dzogchen is a Buddhist Dharma center focused on the essential Tibetan meditation practices of the Nyingma and Kagyu schools. Open to all, we offer an opportunity to connect with and refine the understanding of one’s true nature. Rather than the complex visualizations and mantra recitation so common in Tibetan Buddhist practice, this group focuses primarily on the direct experience of one's true nature through yogic exercises and seated meditation. We also offer instruction in the various forms of Vajrayana practice for those who seek a more traditional path of practice. Denver Dzogchen is led by Joseph Wagner and Darren Fisher, sincere practitioners with more than 30 years of meditation experience each. Both are fortunate to be guided by some of the greatest masters of the 20th century, including Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Adzom Paylo Rinpoche, Nangchen Adeu Rinpoche, Terton Rinpoche, Gangteng Tulku Rinpoche, Chokyi Trichen Rinpoche, HH Sakya Trizen, Chöying Dorje Lama Norsok, Garchen Rinpoche, Sokse Rinpoche, Tulku Rigdzin Pema, and many others. We meet weekly on Sundays 6:45-7:45pm at The River yoga studio (1212 Delaware St, Denver, CO 80204) and Tuesdays 7:00-8:45pm at our SW Denver location (1966 S. The final Sunday of every month the group also meets in Boulder from 9:30-11:30 at 1800 30th St., Suite 307, Boulder, CO. The meditation sessions are interspersed with Tibetan yogic exercises to center one's awareness and relax the body as well as teaching points to guide and inspire one's practice. Please bring loose-fitting clothing and bring a yoga mat and cushion or use the blankets at The River. Cushions and chairs are provided at the Yates St. For more information, see the Chonyi Ling website, http://www.chonyiling.com/

Here's great advice from the Indian mahasiddha Tilopa that reflects our meditation approach:

Don't recall - Let go of what has passed

Don't imagine - Let go of what may come

Don't think - Let go of what is happening now

Don't examine - Don't try to figure anything out

Don't control - Don't try to make anything happen

Rest - Relax, right now, and rest

"There is no ease within samsara's realms;
Ease is found in the awakened state.
Through effort this awakened state is never gained;
It is not achieved with effort, but by letting be and never striving.

By rejection, samsara is not left behind;
It is freed within itself by letting be.
Your attempts to cure your miseries have brought no ease;
You are at ease by loosely letting be..."
...Quote from "Treasures from Juniper Ridge; The Profound Treasure Instructinos of Padmasambhava to the Dakini Yeshe Tsogyal;" Translated by Erik Pema Kunsang and Marcia Binder Schmidt
