Tsa-rLung
Traditional Healing
Tibetan
Traditional Medicine healing practice
‘Tsa-rLung’, may also be also called ‘hand
healing’, these two Tibetan words meaning, per se:
‘channels-wind’. Similar to the Reiki and Tai-Ji
this is a Tibetan version of these well known
techniques for energy healing. Similarly it may be
traced back in Central Asia and Tibet Himalayan
Shamans, either in Bon-Pos or Amchis Traditional
Healing since thousands of years ago, and so far
has been preserved in the Tibetan Materia Medica,
Tsa-rLung Lamas, Dzogchen Lamas and Nagpas Yoga
Lineages, presenting today various forms all
issued from the identical Shamanic Healing Roots,
but sometimes presented to Westerners nowadays as
part of an so-called secret knowledge. Practically, it simply can be
learned, practices
and experienced in ways being similar to other
sources, such as in Ajna Yoga, Pranadi / Panorama
Yogas, Reiki, Tai-Ji and Acupuncture developmental
curricula.
In
principle, learning the techniques of
Tsa-rLung healing involves various steps.
Firstly, the body must be attuned to the more
subtle perception level of the energy body for
giving healing. The channels are to be (re-)opened
by various embodiments, breathing exercises, body
movements and visualizations/meditations, and the
channels elements and humours must be
well-balanced. Thereafter, using the Tumo Yoga for
heat energy or the Tigle visualization for
channelling, again by means of the personalized
energy practices, one must become able to generate
Tumo heat and control the energy, then to release
and control the healing energy. IN principle also,
Tsa-rLung techniques use various type of
wind energy to guide healing energy to the person
undergoing treatment.
However, there is
also a more Tantric or artistic way to perceive
and control healing energies by using Performing
Arts, Archetypes Painting Visualisation, Sacred
Dance Embodiment, Divination Rituals, Pujas,
Mandalas Yoga and other Himalayan Shamanic tools,
which may apply their benevolent effect on the
soul, mind and body of oneself or of patients, by
opening channels, embody archetypes energy and/or
restoring the balance of the spirits and elements,
for purpose of inspiration, visualization, healing
and rejuvenation.
Shamanic
healing techniques, when duly controlled by an
experienced practitioner, may at a same time
cleanse the energy body and open possibility for
better communication between ones higher-self and
the normal consciousness. As soon as a channel
between the higher-self and the consciousness is
initiateds, healing and visualization can go much
further. Dreams, divination, intuition,
inspirations, visualization of energy body(ies)
and a new awareness directly will affect, on a
very practical and day-to-day basis, ones very
personal experiences. It helps to bring an entire
human being into a more harmonious state of mind
and relationship with people, their natural world
or any contextual circumstances.
Reiki, Shamanic Healing Traditions
and Tibetan healing tradition Tsa-Lung, are
working together. It seems to me as if a big
puzzle is very gently put together by invisible
hands and helps to give us an idea what our
existence could be about.
All
these healing methods whether they are ancient or
lately channeled, once we have worked with them,
integrated them into our life and felt and trusted
the inner, hidden message within these techniques,
help us to realize that our life is
changing. How could we possibly not hear the
message behind it. Healing and the development of
loving kindness are going hand in hand and help us
to do the next step further.
Cairn
Tsa-rLung Healing & Performing Arts always
will include explanations on the concepts, systems
and techniques involved, as well as the medical
knowledge required for proper healing. All
participants will be guided through the exercises
and visualisation, and of course initiated in
healing power, when necessary.

Tsa-rLung Healing Training
Seminars
The Tsa-rLung
Healing Training Seminars will
provide interested participants with an introduction, explanatory and indepth training,
either in a recognized European Psychotherapy
Training Center, or during a teaching retreat at the target-site Bodhanath Stupa
and surrounding KTM valley Tsa-rLung Lamas centers.
It will directly offer a personalized relation
with Tsa-Lung Nagpas Lineages and Retreat Centers
found in KTM Nepal,
Sikkim, or Tibet (TAR China). More precisely, the Parping
Nagpa centers (KTM) and local Sherpa Tsa-rLung Lamas
monasteries, will offer the participants with the
selected natural context needed for an
experiential quality training. The Tibetan
Medicine resources will be added from selected Tibetan Traditional Medicine
Amchis, who are based either in Clinics (Kailash,
Kunphen) or at Healing Lamas in Gompas (Bonpo
monasteries). These high quality resource for Tsa-rLung Healing introduction and
experiential training have been depositary from direct
transmission and teachings of Tsa-rLung and
Dzogchen holders and teachers.
It is
expected that all who undertake Tsa-rLung training
in one lineage will adhere to both the particular
lineage significance, as well as with an Holistic
approach to present modern context. All rituals
and symbols belonging to one lineage, and given to
trainees during initiation and training will be
held in trust and not used for bartering or
trading for other forms of healing or
training. This will help maintain the pure
transmission of the teachings and lineage with no
deviation or extraneous material being
introduced.
A
declaration is to be signed before commencing the
training agreeing to the guidelines and honouring
the tradition and course material of the specific
master.
There
are contextual and physical limitations on the
time and resources which each Lamas can allocate
to trainees in a natural environment of local
monasteries, Healing Centres or Retreat Centres.
As such, trainees should understand that their
progress are as much the result of their own
personal efforts, than that of the teachings of
Lamas. For new practitioners, practices
should be commenced a minimum of 18 months before
one can start to receive Tsa-rLung Level2.

The Tsa-rLung Healing conferences and
experiential seminars will be organized as the first
part of an ethically elaborated and always personalized
Tsa-rLung Healing indepth training. The tsa-rLung
teaching is based on the Tibetan Medicine Materia Medica,
Vajrayana Tantric Yogas practices and a continuous
reference to the precious heritage of Transpersonal and Holistic Psychology
(Tibetan Psychotherapy Tarab Tulku Rimpoche) as applications to Healing, Self-healing,
Embodiment, Divination and
Rejuvenation techniques, being found in the related
Tibetan Yoga practices.
These will be linked with a personalized presentation of
the basic concepts of the Tibetan Energy Body (Lung and
Tsa) and use of the Five Elements energies. Such will
start with an invitation to the
necessary cleansing and further introduction to
energy visualization and mobilisation though known “Elements
Preliminary
Practices”.
Preliminaries are the authentic starting
place and doorway through which every practitioner
interested in pursuing the Tsa-rLung experiential
transmission may receive the blessings of the lineage
holders. These preliminary practices aim to tame the
mind, prepare perception, reboot energy control and turn
it towards the healing path, purifying illnesses, and
other obstacles, which are naturally encountered along
our the path of the Sacred Body of Light enduring
Quest...
They would be
best easily performed in the Nepalese natural
tested context of Tsa-rLung Nagpas Lamas Retreat
Centers or Teaching Seminars organized in Nepal. Please
click here for more details...
This programme will propose both the conceptual
content and experiential covering the Sacred Tsa-rLung
Healing and Divination, as they may be found in Nepal,
Tibet and N-India powerplaces, and in the daily
practices in Tibetan
Medicine Materia Medica nowadays.
Comparison of the
Tsa-rLung practices visualization, with other Roots
Shamanic Divination and Healing, such as: Celtic
Archetypes, Reiki, Tai-Ji and
modern Musico-Energotherapy will enfold naturally.
This encompasses as
well as the introduction to the Nyingma and Bonpo
Tsa-rLung Dzogchen Lineages Protectors and
Rituals, which will allow a cross-cultural appraisal of
the archetypes and fields of consciousness being
approached.
Cairn R&D
General Methodology requisites will
accordingly focus upon a truly comparative
conceptual, hermeneutic (symbolic) and
experiential study of three inputs:
1- Inputs from the
Celtic Archetypal paradigm, reviewed under
reference of the Grail Lore, embodied in selected
powerplaces,
2- Inputs from the
Tibetan Tsa-rLung Yoga, Tantric Healing and
Traditional Medicine practices, both theoretical
and practices,
3- Inputs from a
renewed R&D epistemology approach
including Energo/Chromo-therapy concepts,

A
Stepwise Ethnographic Approach
Due to the need for
experiential congruence with the Tibetan Himalayan
archetypes and Tsa-rLung yoga techniques
presented, it is the view of the Cairn Training
& Research Supervision that the Tsa-rLung
Healing Experiential Training, per se, would
rather and better be implemented (for the
participants own benefit) within the natural
context and lineage energy surrounding of Nepal.
Practically, the Nepal approach will also allow
the participant a more long-term and beneficial
stepwise chronology of inputs and resonance, in a
more cost-effective and naturally enfolding
transmutation process, than imported seminars in
the West. However, due to the fact of time and
resource constraint, options are being studied
nonetheless to answer eventual interest in
relevant operation to be conducted in Europe and
Canada. It will also allow a more studied linkage
with clinical and anthropology academic units. We
do however advise all persons interested to rather
come for a cultural immersion in Nepal.
The
first part of the Tsa-rLung Healing training, per
se, will be based upon Tsa-rLung Yoga concepts and
practices, the Tibetan Medicine Materia Medica
supporting it, and the Holistic Psychology
(Psychotherapy) paradigm compatible applications
to such methods for Healing, Self-healing,
Divination and Rejuvenation techniques, as found
in the Tantras and related Ajna Pranayama Yoga
practices.
The methodology will
include the debriefing of each participants'
previous Dharma, Healing or Yoga practices and
academic or clinical background, to be linked with
the personalized implementation of Tsa-rLung basic
concepts of the Tibetan Energy Body (Lung and Tsa)
and dequate use of these energies, such as an
invitation to the necessary cleansing and
further introduction to subtle energy
visualization and mobilisation “Preliminary
Practices” exercises.
These preliminaries
are the authentic starting place and doorway
through which practitioners interested in
Tsa-rLung experiential transmission willreceive
the teaching and blessings of the lineage holders.
These preliminary practices aim to tame the mind,
prepare perception, reboot energy control and turn
the mind-frame towards the healing path, purifying
illnesses, and other obstacles, which are
naturally encountered along our the path of the
Sacred Body of Light enduring
Quest...
This
programme proposes the conceptual content and
experiential content for Tsa-rLung Healing and
Divination, as they may be found in Tibetan
Medicine Materia Medica in Nepal, nowadays.
The
comparison of the Tsa-rLung practices
visualization, with other Roots Shamanic
Divination and Healing practices, such as : Reiki,
Tai-Ji and other modern Musico-Energotherapy
Healing techniques will enfold naturally, as well
as the more personalized introduction to the
Lineage Protectors and Rituals which allowing a
cross-cultural appraisal of the archetypes and
fields of consciousness
approached.

CAIRN
Tibetan Medicine Tsa-rLung Healing,
Divination and Energy Body of Light Energo-therapy
Training curriculum is generally divided
into seven (7) sub-modules, which are flexible and
can be tailored to any particular background,
praxis, needs or audience. Although the content is
of a rather sophisticated nature, for being linked
with conceptualisation, visualization and control
of the Subtle Energy Body and channels, the
language and practices are accessible and
jargon-free, making the training and material
user-friendly for participants, at all levels and
disciplines.
The training is a dynamic
combination of priorily- tested conceptual
references and experiential exercises. Emphasizing
the critical concepts of awareness, empowerment
and developmental collaboration, CAIRN training
focuses on three major goals:
-
A theoretical
framework to guide work in healing, self-healing
and counselling
-
Specific diagnosis
and intervention techniques to use either with
clients or self
-
Attention to the
internal needs of consensual archetypal
coherence, tantric awareness procedures,
cleansing and lineage protection or powerplaces
In addition, the
curriculum cogently addresses the common
questions, concerns, and skepticism about the
Tibetan Medicine Materia Medica, Traditional
Shamanic Healing, Hermeneutic Awareness in Tibetan
Group focused praxis and on treatment efficacy.
Participants are given many opportunities to
question conceptual references, address core
issues with Trainers, as well as test and practice
their new skills. More details are available

Cultural Immersion
In-depth Training
CAIRN experience,
based upon its Seminar organization conducted both
in the EU and in Asia since the early 1980s, is
that Experiential Training's contents and outcomes
will largely differ if either conducted in their
natural energy setting in Asia, or during some
seminars or retreats in the EU. Our point of view
is that if participants can afford it at both the
resources and stamina level, the cultural
immersion scheme within the natural setting of a
selected Nepal / Himalayan power-site will be
better supervised, more beneficial on the
initiations point-of-view and offer more coherence
and awareness. However, CAIRN Introduction
Seminars will also offer day-long workshops that
will introduce and familiarize participants with
the potentials of the Tsa-rLung practices or
effective treatment, as well as with related
divination and Rejuvenation approaches. CAIRN
presenter will explain the basic principles of
Tsa-rLung Healing and Rituals, and format it
within a consensual curriculum with both didactic
and experiential components. CAIRN workshops
experiential in Nepal or EU are rich with
self-awareness, clinical and application. More

CAIRN Introductory
Training Seminars
The workshops
elaborate the points of an experiential training
curriculum: the concepts of healing, the
traditional therapeutic relationship in the path
to healing, the expected crises to be managed from
a experiential training framework assessment, the
role and status needed for a legal treatment
relationship, and developments affecting the Ego.

The Bonpo and Nyingmapa
Traditions of Dzogchen![]()
Although nowadays Dzogchen teachings are
found only in the old
unreformed Tibetan schools of (Buddhist)
Nyingmapas and so-called
non-Buddhist Bonpos, these teachings
are substantially the same
in meaning and terminology in both
traditions, as each can
claim
to have an unbroken lineage coming down to the
present time from
the eighth century and even
before.
Both schools assert that Dzogchen did not
originate in Tibet itself,
but had a Central Asian origin and was
subsequently brought to
Central
Tibet by certain masters known as Mahasiddhas or
great adepts.
There thus would appear to exist two ancient
and authentic lineages
for the Dzogchen teachings, the Nyigmapa and
the Bonpo.
Keeping in mind that the
Celtic/Aryan tribes
also historically migrated
from Central Asian steppes to Central Europe (La
Tene) for one part,
with another going down to the Indian
subcontinent, and that current
Celtic tradition research heritage shows many
similarities between
the Himalayan and Celtic root concepts in
Healing and Divination
Shamanic Artefacts, Cairn Elixir hereby
endeavours to pursue with
experienced practitioners the experiential
research and related
powerplaces rituals survey of both the Nyingmapa
and Bonpo
tradition of Dzogchen known as the Zhang-zhung
Nyan-gyud.
This may not only lead to why some Tibetan
Dzogchen masters
had been interested late 1960s/early 1970s to
build new Gompas
(Monasteries) in Scotland and S-of-France on
some selected Celtic,
Cathars and/or Templars historical powerplaces
(and why the rituals
or practices performed there by Tibetan Lamas or
Western disciplines
become operational), but this may also be
especially important for any
researchers attempt for synthesis based on
experienced practices and
on the historical (archetypal) origins of
Dzogchen at the West of Tibet.
Keltic- Trilogy (Cairn
Elixir) invites you to
join Venerable Lama
Tenzin

Lineage), Venerable

Tsa-Lung Energy Body
Healing![]()
Tibetan Traditional Healing
"Tsa-rLung" technics, are
literally
found in the
scriptures dealing with 'channels-wind' and
are
also called 'hand healing', they being special energy projection
/
visualization process for energy healing
preserved in Tibetan
Medicine knowledge.
Historically, as per the Tibetan tradition, it
is said that it has been
the source from which
the technics of Reiki and Acupuncture
have
been developed...
For learning
the technics of Tsa-Lung healing, our own body
and
mind must first be
prepared for accumulating the giving
healing
energy. The channels
in our body must be opened, cleansed,
be rendered
more conscious by various breathing,
visualization
and meditation exercises, and the elements and humours
must
become well-balanced.
The " Tumo" heat energy is to be
generated, again by
means of
tantras meditation,
and when we become able to generate
this
energy source (heat),
we then can consciously release the
healing
energy from certain
locations.
Next, we use
various types of diagnosis methods and of
visualization
of the energy flows,
either with sound, colours, mantras,
mental
powers, crystals or else, to guide this energy to self-
healing,
rejuvenation
or treatment areas.
The Tsa-Lung
Healing and Tibetan Medicine Introduction
Seminars
include explanations
of the paradigm, philosophy system and
various
healing technics involved, as well as a simple but very
practical
development on the
relations between the Tibetan Tantras,
Vajrayana, and
Thangkas paintings with the medical
knowledge
required for proper healing.
Cairn Elixir
Seminars have conceptual root- teachings based on
theories
transmitted and
developed through current practitioners by either the
Nyingma,
Geluk or Bon-Po
traditional lineages.
In this sense, a particular documentary attention has been
brought to the more recent research and
publication of Tarab Tulku Rimpoche (Tarab Ladrang),
Namkai Norbu Rimpoche, Tenzin Wangyal Rimpoche, as well as of
several reputed Amchis and Nagpas who are practicing in
Nepal, Tibet TAR / China and/or in India/Sikkim. Links have been seeked and maintained with
several US, UK or EU-based Himalayan and Tibetan Studies
Digital Archives.
Current
International Affairs enfolding in the strategic region
of Nepal have
lately brought their
share of interesting times, bringing to the fore the
urgent
need for comparative
studies of Western and Tibetan political, philosophical,
psychological and
scientific theories to address current
misrepresentations
and to seek for more
effective development approaches.
Publishing
of abstracts, organization of field-studies and
arranging of training
seminars want to
answer to the points listed above.
Working with the
Elements ![]()
Indigenous healing and spiritual traditions
around the world are based on
an understanding of the five elements. In the
Tibetan tradition, these are
known as space, air, fire, water and earth, and
are understood as the
underlying energies from which the physical
world, our bodies, our emotions,
and our minds arise. The elements are addressed
in all nine levels of
teachings of Bön, including shamanism, tantra
and Dzogchen.
“The Healing Practice of the Five Elements
Goddesses” was composed
by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, and is explained in
his latest book,
“Healing with Form, Energy and Light: The Five
Elements in
Tibetan Shamanism, Tantra, and
Dzogchen”.
Melong
Divination ![]()
The Melong is a small metal mirror of a shining
yellow color.
The Melong is used for
Divination.
Ta-Pa Nagpa can see the mirror change into a
dark-color, then
either smoky designs or wave-like curves in a
lake, before other
manifestations and signs occur either pictures,
like sequences
in a film or letters. Letters require written
questions, which have
been given to the diviner.
A Nagpa
Ta-Pa is a Tibetan Yogi who foretells using
such
shining metal mirror called Melong to read the
signs or
letters, while a
Mo-Pa is a person who does
divination
using a pair of dice
or mala to see the numbers are both
same, in
that sense both fall under the common
higher
practices attainments.
Melong or
Shamanic Mirror is an ancient mystical device that
has
far ranging
applications. Its origin dates back 5000 years to
the ancient
pre-Buddhist era of
the original Tibetan Bon shamans, who were
the
astrologers, healers,
soothsayers and magicians of the nomadic
inhabitants
of the Tibetan plateau. When Buddhism came to
Tibet ,
many of these
practices were absorbed into it giving Tibetan
Buddhism
some of its
distinctive qualities. Today the melong is still
used and
worn by many lamas,
astrologers and shamanic healer.
Although
means of telling the future were employed in Tibet,
before
the advent of Buddhism, they are not regarded as an alien remnant
outside
the Buddhist
framework that it is occasionally convenient to call
upon.
Rather, they
are used within the sphere of Buddhist concepts,
functioning
in accordance with
Buddhist principles such as karma. There are
no
references to
divination in the collections of sutras, but many can
be
found in the tantras.
The person
who performs ‘Ta’ is called Tapa or Ta-thapkhen.
Most of the Ta-Pa’s
have a Ta-Mig. Ta literally means
hair
and Mig means eye.
The
divination power from a "Ta-Mig" lineage is
extremely rare.
Ven. Dilgo Khyentse
Rinpoche was the only realized
master-scholar
who possesses all the
knowledge of discovered treasure-texts
teachings
and practices thoroughly.
Ta-Pa Nagpas
practice long retreat, as per the
instructions
of their Guru and in
accordance with the
‘Treasure-texts’,
so that their
meditation deity or root object of
visualization
appear as clear as a crystal.
The
appearance of ‘Ta’ signs are usually like a stupa, a
river,
a rainbow, a highway,
a flower, a vajra, a house, a bird or any
animals or anything. Then, in order to give the meaning or
the
explanation for any signs that appeared in the
metal mirror
(melong) Nagpas go
through the "Treasure-text" for
reference and to get

Healing
Performing Arts
The Sacred
Dance and other Mystical Arts of Tibet are
performances and features have now become well
known in the Western world. Monks in Pujas
presenting dancing or multiphonic singing, wherein
each monk simultaneously intones three notes of a
chord, use instruments and pray while other dance
with masks, have been repeatedly scheduled in
concerts, wherein they also utilize the Tibetan
Gompas (monasteries) traditional instruments, such
as 10-feet long dungchen trumpets, drums, bells,
cymbals and gyaling horns. Rich brocade costumes
and masked dances, add to the exotic
splendor.
But in our view, there may be much
more potential in these acts, than just
entertaining spectators!
The first step is of course to
explore the significance and symbolism of the
given sacred dance and its prayers, when linked to
the referenced list of ritual dances in Tibetan
Buddhism. Ones may examine the references given in
the four lineages that developed sacred
cham--the secret ritual dances of the
Tibetan Buddhist monks--and achi lhamo
storytelling folk dance and opera. Ones may get
atuned to the mental and physical process of
preparing for these dances, the meaning of
iconography, costumes and masks, the spectrum of
accompanying music, and the actual dance steps, as
recorded in the choreography.
But all ancient Shamanic societies,
throughout the world over, have conceived that
ritual performance of sacred music and dance at a
given auspicious time, may establish communication
with the higher powers and brings thereupon
healing, divination or inspiration to
environmental, social and personal issues.
Similarly, the Tibetan sacred music
and dances were not composed in any mundane
manner. Rather, each piece was born centuries ago
from a mystical visionary experience of a great
yogi, Terton saint or sage, and transmitted from
generation to generation in the unbroken lineage
legacy.
The second step in our approach is
accordingly to seek for and practices
with selected Tsa-rLung Masters and Nagpas from
recognized Tsa-rLung Healing Lineage Holders some
upgraded synthesis on a modern form to master the
process, generation and flow of sound healing, in
a pioneering work with sacred instruments,
artefacts and dance choregraphy which have been
recognized by the Tibetan Lamas practitioners in
sound based Tsa-rLung Healing work, Divination and
Sacred Dance in the Himalayas.
The last and third step, then is the
Keltic Trilogy of Embodiment, bringing East and
West together within a personalized rituals,
visualization practices and healing, using the
Body of Light as universal reference.
Musicotherapy East &
West
Bringing together East
and West, using the Tibetan Tsa-rLung Healing
power within dance and music will offer a much
needed clarification and fusion of the ancient art
of Tsa-rLung Healing within the modern context and
tools, including modern music. The Cairn Tsa-rLung
Performing Arts & Healing Center current
comparative research in the Celtic artefacts and
powerplaces for the utilisation, in situ and
thereupon, of Tibetan Tsa-rLung Healing practices,
embodiment, cleansing and divination, aims to
reveal to all concerned the transcendental
qualities of Sacred Dance and Chanting, and of the
Healing Powers which may be found and transmitted
sound, as well the transformational experience it
may release for those who can hear
it.
Comprising selected Tsa-rLung Lamas
Healing performers and professional musicians,
the Tsa-rLung Healing Sacred Sounds, Music,
Mantras and Dance... will use a wide variety
of Tibetan instruments, Himalayan bowls, tablas,
prayer flutes, guitar, tamboura, Celtic harp and
synthesizer to lift consciousness, and above all
to transmit the Powers of Healing within Sound,
Coulours and supporting
Archetypes.
Other Dzogchen and Healing Seminars
Although nowadays Dzogchen
teachings are found only in the
old
unreformed Tibetan schools of (Buddhist)
Nyingmapas and so-called non-Buddhist Bonpos,
these teachings are substantially the
same in meaning
and terminology in both traditions, as each
can claim
to
have an unbroken lineage coming down to the
present time from
the eighth century and even
before.
Both schools assert that Dzogchen did
not originate in Tibet itself, but had a Central Asian
origin and was subsequently brought to
Central
Tibet by certain masters known as
Mahasiddhas or great adepts. There thus would appear to
exist two ancient and authentic
lineages
for the Dzogchen teachings, the
Nyigmapa and the Bonpo.
Keeping in mind that the Celtic/Aryan
tribes also historically migrated from Central Asian steppes
to Central Europe (La Tene) for one
part, with another
going down to the Indian subcontinent, and that
current Celtic
tradition research heritage shows many
similarities between
the Himalayan and Celtic root concepts in
Healing and Divination Shamanic Artefacts, Cairn
Elixir hereby endeavours to pursue
with experienced
practitioners the experiential research and
related
powerplaces rituals survey of both the
Nyingmapa and Bonpo
tradition of Dzogchen known as the
Zhang-zhung Nyan-gyud.
This may not only lead to why some Tibetan
Dzogchen masters
had been interested late 1960s/early 1970s
to build new Gompas
(Monasteries) in Scotland
and S-of-France on some selected
Celtic,
Cathars and/or Templars historical
powerplaces (and why the rituals or practices performed there
by Tibetan Lamas or Western
disciplines become
operational), but this may also be especially
important for any
researchers attempt for synthesis based on
experienced practices and on the historical
(archetypal) origins of Dzogchen at the West of
Tibet.
