Embark on a transformative 12-week journey guided by Lama Michael, exploring Longchenpa’s renowned masterpiece, The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena (Chö Ying Dzöd). This sacred text encapsulates the essence of the 6,400,000 Dzogchen Tantras, illuminating the view, meditation, and conduct of the spiritual path, and guiding practitioners toward the final freedom of enlightenment. The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena synthesizes the three divisions of Great Perfection teachings—the Mind Division, the Space Division, and the Pith Instruction Division. Revered by Dzogchen masters and mahasiddhas since the time of Longchenpa, this text has been a cornerstone for meditation and liberation.

Dzogchen and Mahamudra, the Great Perfection and Great Seal, are powerful meditative systems for revealing the nature of mind. The meditation approach of Mahamudra as found in the Tibetan Kagyu tradition and the Dzogchen approach from the Nyingma tradition are identical in essence - you may follow one or the other - however, each has its own unique instructions. In each system, Mahamudra and Dzogchen, various methods are used to reveal the nature of bare awareness itself.
