Dzogchen Community of Namgyalgar

About

Activities of the Dzogchen Community of Australia.

Story

Namgyalgar was established in the Glasshouse Mountains region in December 2010. Situated inland of the Pumicestone Passage and Bribie Island in the South and the Sunshine Coast to the north, this Gar is nestled within the benevolent gaze of the Glasshouse Mountains and principally the mother and son mountains of Beerwah and Coonowrin.

Gekö or caretaker resides at the retreat centre and all visitors are welcome. Personal and group retreat facilities are available for practitioners. While the centre provides a focus for the activities of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu in the area, teaching and practice retreats are held in various capital cities and regional centres on a regular basis.

Regular courses are held in Yantra Yoga, Vajra Dance and Santi Maha Sangha study programs. Choygal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche also teaches at Namgyalgar when he is in Australia.

Mission

Dzogchen or 'The Great Perfection', is considered the summit of all Tibetan schools, the highest and most immediate path towards spiritual progress. Rather than a religious doctrine it is better defined as a system of inner knowledge, given the great importance to the development of individual awareness. This spiritual path, which is open to all, involves working towards self-awareness; personal freedom is an essential aspect so there is no obligation to follow rules or take monastic vows. The fundamental practice consist of reaching a deep knowledge of oneself and one's essential existence through the various experiences of daily life. For this reason, Dzogchen is particularly well suited to the needs of modern society.
