According to the dzogchen teachings, resting deeply in the silence of speech can be our doorway to the refuge of the sambhogakaya — the pure, infinite awareness of our true nature. In this video for the cybersangha, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche helps us to enter through the door of silence.

In advance of the broadcast Rinpoche encourages creating a bit of space for meditation in your house — in a quiet, peaceful location where you can feel some sense of warmth and connection to yourself. You might provide a comfortable cushion to sit on, and a candle or stick of incense. A supportive outer space can support your inner space during meditation.
This broadcast marks the start of the Month of Speech in “A Year of Body, Speech, and Mind,” a free 2021 online program of live teachings, practices, and science & spirituality dialogs. Learn more

Hi, i enjoyed the wider practice and reflection on silence. One little confusion.
You sometimes suggest an “active dissolving of the “noise” and sometimes an “allowing” of the noise to dissolve. In my mind, these two ways or relating to sound and silence are a little different. The active dissolving is a ‘doing”, an upaya, and takes some even small effort. The more allowing way of transformation is more of a non-doing, an effortless awareness.
It seems today, you were integrating both in some way. Is that accurate or do you have a different view?
Thank you very much for your guidance, support and love.
Rinpoche, you are a great gift to all beings.
God bless you and your family.
Hi how are you I would love to study dzogchen.. with the Master.
Can you please give me more information about this course and others?
Hi Antonio, the next live broadcast in this particular series is scheduled for December 17 — see https://cybersangha.net/spaciousness-as-door/
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche offers a variety of online and in-person dzogchen teachings (the schedule is at https://ligmincha.org/). His many online teachings — including retreats and online workshops, which can be an ideal way to connect with him from afar and have questions answered — can be accessed at https://ligmincha.org/online/.
For those serious about following the dzogchen path, Rinpoche’s teachings of the Experiential Transmission are highly recommended. The entry to them is Part 1: the Ngondro. Ligmincha Learning offers an online course in the Ngondro, but I don’t know when that will be offered next. If you’re interested, you might ask the course administrator at https://ligminchalearning.com/ (click on “Contact Us” in the top menu).
Here on cybersangha.net, there are many recorded broadcasts available at no charge. See https://cybersangha.net/category/general-categories/pith-instructions-personal-reflections-on-the-heart-essence-of-dzogchen/. And … to learn about newly scheduled teachings, I recommend subscribing to the email versoin of Voice of Clear Light, at http://voiceofclearlight.org/
So, a lot to choose from. I hope this helps!
Hi my friends, is this speech , free or has to be pay?
Antonio, there is no cost to view the broadcast. You can it live on the Facebook page of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche (https://www.facebook.com/tenzinwangyalrinpoche/), or view here on this page. If the livestream doesn’t appear at the scheduled time, try refreshing the page.
Muchas gracias
Merci sincère.
Dear friends,
I am interested in dzogchen and I would like to ask you whether there will be a transmission (direct introduction to the natural state) during this broadcast “Silence as a Door to Your Inner Refuge” ?
Thank you for your answer.
Kind regards
Peter
Dear Peter, Rinpoche does not specifically offer transmission during his public CyberSangha broadcasts. However, he recently started doing so during some of his online retreats. If you’re able to participate in such a retreat, you might ask the coordinator if transmission will be offered.
Dedicated silence to those whom keep the lamp of Dharma alive. Now if we can find that place, where silence resides actualizing the fundamental point? Move in, or practice till it occurs. Thank you.
Thank you Rinpoche for your beautiful teaching
It fils me with gratitude in this difficult times
