Re: Oppurtunities to be nyingma retreat yogi?
Why not just meet with a teacher get some instructions and then go away and just go for it. Maybe it’ll last a week, a month, a year but it will teach you stuff. If you want it then just do it.

Re: Lama Lena feat. Garchen Rinpoche: Dorje Phurba
I’m confused. Why do people not go directly to Garchen Rinpoche? Am I missing something? It's not uncommon for somebody to give the wang, and another the tri. Nowadays Garchen Rinpoche does not give many live wangs, but he insists that his recorded empowerments are valid. Yes not uncommon for someo...

Re: No guru, no dzogchen?
Although Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche suggests ngondro practice for dzogchen teachings, his ngondro focus is not so much based upon numbers. He suggests you feel the practice .
