Dzogchen Tantras English Transmissions

Chris Wilkinson is offering the reading transmission, or Lung, for all of my translations of the Tantras of the Great Perfection, or Dzogchen. The class meets on Zoom on Monday and Thursday mornings from 10:00 to 12:00 AM Pacific Standard Time. He will read the Tantras one by one in a style intended to make their meaning clear. He may add in translator’s comments as he reads. There will be time for questions or discussion at the end of each session. He hopes that by offering this reading transmission people empower themselves to carry on the transmission by reading them to others. In this way the Dharma will grow. Please be a part of this!
