Well done! How did you do that? Did you have personal contact?
All best wishes

Thanks Josef. I am not familiar with this teacher. Which lineage/tradition are they from?

You can find some info about him here; http://denverdzogchen.com/teachers.html
Chöying Dorje Lama Norsok Rinpoche was born in the Eastern Tibetan region of Kham to an ordinary farming and herding family. Although from a young age he showed deep interest in spiritual development and meditation, he was never officially recognized as a Tulku, or sacred incarnation.

Spending more than 50 years in strict meditation retreat, Rinpoche became famous as a siddha - one possessing the magical powers born of meditation - and well known throughout Kham as an emanation of Marpa the Translator. Practicing mainly the instructions of the Sakya lineage, he nevertheless received teachings from all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, and in particular took the practice of Dzogchen to the ultimate degree. To simply enter the valley where he lived was to immediately experience the power of his realization. The entire area was pervaded by the empty, clear and awake quality common to many realized practitioners, but to an astonishing degree. To be in his presence was to automatically recognize him as a fully accomplished master and absolutely incredible being.

After a short illness Rinpoche passed away amidst extremely amazing signs in 2010.

Thanks Magnus.

So the claims that it is a Bon gathering are unfounded then.
