This is a Vajrayana event, open to Rigpa Ngöndro and Dzogchen Mandala students and to students from other sanghas who have already received a Tendrel Nyesel empowerment and fulfil certain Vajrayana requirements. See more details on requirements below.
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche has offered to teach on the terma (spiritual treasure) of Tendrel Nyesel, bringing fresh insight into a practice and profound teaching that lie at the very heart of the Rigpa sangha. He has generously agreed that his general teachings may also be followed online by those who have already received a Tendrel Nyesel empowerment.
The teachings from Lerab Ling are presented live on Zoom in English with translation into French, German, Spanish and Chinese.
Provisional schedule
It’s very likely that Dzongar Khyentse Rinpoche will grant the Tendrel Nyesel empowerment to those following onsite in Lerab Ling on the first day, 14th December. In that case we will start the online transmission with the first teaching in the afternoon at 14.30 CET (Paris time).
Please check this page regularly for updates!From the 15th-16th we expect two teaching sessions a day with a teaching in the morning starting around 09.30 CET and early afternoon starting around 14.30 CET, but the schedule is not yet finalised.
Afternoon sessions in which we will practise Tendrel Nyesel together will also be streamed.

About Tendrel Nyesel
Tendrel Nyesel, which literally means “eliminating flaws in interdependent circumstances,” was revealed in 1900 by the great Tertön Sogyal, Lerab Lingpa (1856–1926), the predecessor of Sogyal Rinpoche. It is said that Tertön Sogyal felt more joy at the moment of revealing this terma than at any other time in his life.
At the end of the empowerment text composed by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche at the request of H.H. the 14th Dalaï Lama, he praises the Tendrel Nyesel by saying :
"This profound teaching, so pertinent in this age, is like a secret treasure of advice never known before, one that is easy to practise and simple to apply."
Tendrel Nyesel is said to be one of the most powerful practices for bringing peace and stability in the world. The brief sadhana (liturgy) of Tendrel Nyesel is the main daily Vajrayana practice upheld by the Rigpa community worldwide.
The timing of these teachings by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche is particularly meaningful as 2026 will mark the 100th anniversary of Tertön Sogyal’s parinirvana.
With global events hanging in the balance, this powerful practice is considered by many lamas to be particularly timely and of very great significance. There is an all-encompassing, universal quality to Tendrel Nyesel, both in the number of buddhas and deities whose blessing is invoked, and in its reach and effect throughout the universe in eliminating, preventing, protecting against and transforming harm and conflict.
