Dzogchen Community UK
Address: Flat 5 Bernard Hegarty Lodge

Spiritual Director: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Notes and Events:
Dzogchen is an ancient spiritual teaching developed in Tibet within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It does not belong to a school or religious system. Rather, it is the knowledge that Tibetan masters have transmitted without being limited by sectarianism. The word \\\'Dzogchen\\\', meaning \\\'total perfection\\\', actually refers to the true inherent nature of all beings, their primordial state, which is free from all limitations and conditioning. The master\\\'s transmission of this state of knowledge lies at the very heart of the Dzogchen teachings.
The Dzogchen tradition has been passed from master to student in an unbroken lineage over the centuries, right up to the present day. Due to its direct and unelaborate approach, it transcends cultural boundaries making it accessible to all nationalities alike regardless of their spiritual background.
The Dzogchen teachings are divided in three series: Semde, Longde and Mennagde. The three series are three ways of presenting the teaching, each with its corresponding methods of practice; the aim of all three, however, is to lead the practitioner to final realization.
In Semde, the \\\'mind series\\\', the practitioner is introduced to the nature of mind in order to have a actual experience of it.
Longde means the \\\'space series\\\': in this instance space refers to the primordial dimension of emptiness which serves as a base for manifesting the clarity of the practitioner, and for developing their understanding.
Mennagde, the essential series of \\\'secret instructions\\\' or Upadesha, comprises special teachings and methods based on the experiences of masters, with the aim of helping the practitioner progress up to complete realization.

We meet as a group twice a week, plus about three half-day sesshins per year.
The accent is on silent meditation, although newcomers are given whatever instruction they need to get started and occasionally one of the more experienced meditators will offer instruction upon a particular technique.
However, while we are all sitting there silently, what people do inside their own minds is entirely their affair!
Meditations tend to last 30-40 minutes and are preceded by tea and chat.
KOAN TRAINING is offered by the teacher, Kaishin Inshu, aka Michael Pockley.
Details of upcoming meetings are posted on www.kidlington-zendo.org.uk

The group is affiliated to The Order of Buddhist Contemplatives. The Order is dedicated to the practice of the Serene Reflection Meditation tradition, known as Ts’ao-Tung Ch’an in China and Sōtō Zen in Japan. The Order was established by Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett to serve as the international umbrella organization for the monasteries, priories (local temples), and meditation groups led by priests of our lineage in Britain, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States. The group has strong connections with Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey, a Zen Buddhist monastery and retreat centre situated in Northumberland - its Abbot is Rev Master Daishin Morgan. Senior members of the monastic community there, regularly visit the group, and also lead short retreats in Lancaster.
