Tibetan Buddhist Retreat Center

Baja Ca Sur has a Dharma Center named Tsegyalgar West situated on Los Naranjos Road in the San Jose Mountains. The beautiful ranch was given to the International Dzogchen Community, under the direction of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche in 2003. Since then he and his senior students have been giving teachings such as Yoga Yantra, the sacred Dance of the Vajra, various tantric practices such as Mandarava, Chod, Ganapuja and practices of Dzogchen which are pure awareness practices.

Dzogchen teachings are also known as Ati-yoga, or Primordial Yoga. The word yoga is used as the equivalent Tibetan term naljor, which means awareness of the authentic condition of each individual at the core (without layers of ego). Dzogchen teachings have been transmitted through the culture of Tibet. Now in recent years they have spread around the world.

Tsegyalgar West, in the San Jose Mountains is a rustic retreat center. This beautiful and wild 3,000 acre land has natural springs, granite boulders, grand vistas and deep quiet for retreat. 
There are 12 casitas available for sleeping and camping bathhouses as well. The mission is to preserve the Dzogchen Tibetan Buddhist teachings and preserve a very special and natural environment for spiritual practice. 

This year Tsegyalgar west invites everyone interested to special retreats, practices and introductory talks.  There will be several retreats on the retreat land from February to May 2012. Public introductory talks will be held in Todos Santos with each visiting teacher. Please see schedule of events or the web site www.tsegyalgarwest.org for more information.

Tashi Delek! Auspicious wishes!

In the Dzogchen teachings the word Vajra means our true nature, the true status of all phenomena. The dance of Vajra is an important method that uses the sound and the movement to integrate the three aspects of our existence - body, energy and mind - into that knowledge. It is a very special and effective practice to restore the natural condition of our energy and harmonize our whole being.

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 world heritage.
