Following the advice of Buddha:
“I give you the path for having realization, but your realization depends on you. You should do practice, you should realize.”
The International Dzogchen Community at Tsegyalgar East is happy to offer the Guruyoga of the White A with the Invocation of Garab Dorje intensive practice weekend retreat taught by authorized Santi Maha Sangha instructor Oliver Leick. This course is transmission based.
During the retreat in Warsaw in 2015, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu explained: "In the Dzogchen teaching we have Ati Guruyoga and we always apply it. When we speak about 'Guruyoga of White A,' then there is also some invocations of Guru Garab Dorje. The essence of the Guruyoga of the white A is that we are in a state of contemplation. We are relaxed and we are not judging, thinking, or visualizing something. All our attitude, all our daily life, and our relative condition - everything is governed by that knowledge, by that understanding. This is what we learn. Slowly we integrate everything in that state of contemplation. The most important aspect is that we should go in essence of the Guruyoga.“
Oliver Leick has been a student of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu's since 1977. Oliver is the Director of the International Shang Shung Institute, and a member of the Board of Directors of the International Atiyoga Foundation. In 2002, Oliver Leick became an authorized first level Yantra Yoga instructor, and in 2010 he also became an authorized Santi Maha Sangha (SMS) Base instructor. Oliver has led more than 130 of seminars, courses and public talks in different countries all over the world.
