knowledge of the state of contemplation. Please bring socks or soft leather soles.

In the Dzogchen teaching Vajra means our real nature, the true condition of all

phenomena. The Vajra Dance is an important method which uses sound and movement

for integrating the three aspects of our existence – body, energy and mind – in that

knowledge.

The Vajra Dance is also a very special and effective practice for restoring the natural

condition of our energy and harmonizing our whole being. As such it can be approached,

with due awareness and respect, by all people who are sincerely interested in it and wish

to receive its benefits.

In the Dance of the Six Spaces of Samantabhadra twelve practitioners, six females

and six males, dance together on a large Mandala of five colors which represents the

correspondence between the internal dimension of the individual and the outer dimension

of the world. They are accompanied by music and the chanted melody of the Mantra of

the Six Spaces of Samantabhadra (the primordial Buddha, symbol of our real nature).

In 2011 the Dance of Vajra has been recognized by UNESCO as humanity wordly

heritage.

Please join us in the opportunity to learn and practice The Vajra Dance at the beautiful 

retreat land of Tsegyalgar West, Baja Ca Sur. Please contact us for more information: tsegyalgarwestsecretary@gmail.com

Tentative Schedule 2011 - MAY 2012

This year Tesgyalgar West in Baja Ca Sur is pleased to offer a series of teachings and practice retreats very useful for newcomers and beneficial for older practitioners alike.  Starting with Yoga and Vajra Dance in November, which embody meditation and movement, then continuing with Santi Maha Sangha teachings for a more thorough understanding of the buddhist path and stages to realization. These teaching are based on the three main sections of "The Precious Vase" (Sutra, Tantra, Dzogchen) written by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche.  Please join us for some or all of these great opportunities to deepen our understanding. In the wonderful spaciousness of the land where mountains and sky are vast, may we grow in community together.

Yantra Yoga or the Yoga of Movement is an ancient system of Tibetan yoga based on the text The Union of the Sun and the Moon, written in the 8th century by the master and translator Vairochana. Chögyal Namkhai Norbu wrote a detailed commentary on the root text and started to transmit this teaching in the West at the beginning of the seventies.

Yantra Yoga is a fundamental method to integrate the profound essence of the Dzogchen Teaching in the three doors (body, voice and mind) of the practitioner. Through positions and movements combined with breathing one’s energy is coordinated and harmonized, so as to let the mind find the authentic balance and relaxation which is the basis for getting into contemplation.

Please wear comfortable clothes and bring a yoga mat

with Anna Neyman

In the Dzogchen Teaching sound and movement are very important because they are the means to integrate oneself into the state of contemplation. The Vajra Dance is principally a practice to harmonize the energy of the individual. If one has a more profound knowledge of the meaning of the Dance, it becomes a method for integrating the three existences of body, voice and mind into the knowledge of the state of contemplation.

This integration is one of the most important aims of a Dzogchen practitioner. The Vajra Dance is practiced on a Mandala which represents the correspondence between the internal dimension of the individual and the outer dimension of the world.
