April 3-5 Dr. Nida – Tummo Meditation
Public talks and courses by Dr. Nida Chenagtsang

Dr. Nida Chenagtsang is director of the Academy and for many years, he has taught courses on Tibetan medicine and other related sciences all over the world. He has extensively researched ancient Tibetan medicinal treatments, specializing in the revival of external therapies, which has brought him high acclaim in the field of Tibetan medicine.
Sexuality and Spirituality in Tibetan Culture
Join us for public talks by Dr. Nida Chenaktsang on Sexuality in Tibetan Culture, and the role of sex for energy and health. Dr. Nida will also look at Buddhist views on sexuality, as well as the historical masters and texts that cover this subject, including the Kamasutra and Karmamudra.

Tummo – the inner fire
This two day course on Tummo teaches breath retention and the visualization of the lower ends of the three chakra channels which is primarily used to focus body awareness in the subnavel area. The heart rate slows, the karmic winds suspend and the venous blood returns less impurities into the blood stream. This leads to longevity and many health benefits. With the flow of Tummo inside you, your physical, mental, emotional and intuitive levels will progress much faster.
Tummo is the foundation of other practices including Karmamudra. It purifies all negativities and enhances the innate bliss. Illusory body is an essential support for Tummo, and it helps our mind become free from attachment and aversion.

The rejuvenating and restorative benefits and functions of Ku Nye are mentioned in many original Tibetan texts including the Bum Shi, Gyud Shi and all its commentaries and Ton Huang medical text. Some of the benefits include the elimination of and increased vitality, the reduction and alleviation of various types of pain, the calming of nervous disorders.

26-28 September: Dr. Nida Chenagtsang – Dream Yoga – Bardo Yoga
Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, is the founder of IATTM. Traditional Tibetan Medicine is a natural and holistic medical science that addresses the individual’s needs of the body, mind and spirit in an integrated way. IATTM is currently represented in more than 30 countries worldwide.
Tibetan Dream Yoga
Fri, Sept 26
14.00 – 21.00 u. Cost: €70
*Cost: €60 if tickets are pre-booked.
Tibetan doctors have a well-developed understanding of the relationship between dreams and health; thus dreams are analysed from both a religious as well as a medical perspective. Both the Tantric spiritual tradition and Traditional Tibetan Medicine describe three basic components – Consciousness, the subtle rLung energies, and the chakras and channels – as being necessary for the manifestation of dreams.
• The Basic theories underlying Traditional Tibetan Medicine
• Fundamentals of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and its relationship to TTM
• Concepts of Mind and Consciousness in the Tibetan culture.
• Dreams in Tibetan culture, in general
• Medical analysis of Dreams
• Attitudes and philosophies affecting Healing
Bardo Yoga
Sept 27-28
Sat: 11.00 – 18.00 u.
Sun: 12.00 – 15.00 u. Cost: €100
*Cost: €90 if tickets are pre-booked.
Bardo Yoga is one of the advanced practices of the Six Yogas to be found in Vajrayana Buddhism. During the course, the experiences of life, death and what happens after death are described and analyzed. The teaching includes transmission, explanations and exercises.
Through the practice of Bardo Yoga one learns to face life and death with inner peace, being aware of the great potential during the bardo after death. Skill and yogic experience hold the opportunity of achieving enlightenment and choosing the next rebirth.
The course can be taken as a ‘follow-on’ from the Dream Yoga course, but also independently.
13-15 juni: Namkha Rinpoche over Dream Yoga deel II
Tijdens dit weekend gaat Namkha Rinpoche verder waar hij in april is gestopt. O.a. komt de Dream Yoga in de Bardo aan bod. Ook als je deel I niet hebt bijgewoond is het mogelijk deel II van deze zeer bijzondere teachings bij te wonen.
Droomyoga wordt ‘de beoefening van de nacht’ genoemd. Het is een methode om met onze dromen te werken of om te rusten in de heldere natuur van de geest.
Rinpoche zal ons op 4 t/m 6 april een uitleg geven waar we goed mee verder kunnen zodat we ook ’s nachts door kunnen gaan met onze dharmabeoefening. Het is een onmisbare methode, want hoewel we overdag helder kunnen nadenken, kan onze slaap ervoor zorgen dat we weer helemaal vertroebeld wakker worden, omdat we geen grip gehad hebben over wat we hebben gedroomd.
Sommige mensen weten niet eens dat ze dromen, het is een methode om in het begin te herkennen dat we dromen. In een ander stadium kunnen we meer controle over onze ervaringen krijgen en als de beoefening echt succesvol is dan zijn er veel mogelijkheden. Wat deze zijn gaat Rinpoche ons uitleggen.

21-22 Oct. Tibetan Mantra Healing – Dr. Nida Chenagtsang
Dr. Nida Chenagtsang is now visiting Amsterdam.
He will teach Mantra Healing at Dzogchen Ling as a 2 day course.
Mantra is a form of healing that dates back to antiquity. The mantras described here arise out of the ancient Tibetan medical and spiritual traditions. They are simple to use, profoundly effective, and are immediately accessible to everybody – regardless of age, gender, ethnic or spiritual background.
What is Tibetan Mantra Healing?
Tibetan Mantra Healing is a powerful form of healing dating from ancient times, which is based upon the philosophy of Interdependent Origination of all Phenomena. The philosophy of Interdependent Origination purports that all phenomena in the Universe are intimately interconnected: no single object, person or event can exist in isolation; every action, thought or event impacts on all other existent phenomena.
Mantra Healing focuses specifically on the energy of sound as a healing medium. Tibetan Mantra Healing utilises ancient and secret mantras: sometimes encapsulating the essence of natural sounds, and often using ancient words from the Sanskrit and Tibetan languages.
Mon-Tues, Oct 21-22, Time: 16:00 – 22:00.
€120 for the 2 days (10% shortage for Rigdzin memebers).
Dr. Nida Chenagtsang is the Founder and Director of the International Academy of Traditional Tibetan Medicine. His effective, comprehensive and miraculous teachings are considered by the leading Oriental medical schools and Tibetan authorities including the 14th Dalai Lama as one of the most developed, advanced and comprehensive teachings of the Traditional Tibetan Medicine.
Namkha Rinpoche, the founder of the The Rigdzin Community, has a strong connection with Dr. Nida and he has also visited the Rigdzin Community center in Switzerland in 2010.
The International Academy for Traditional Tibetan Medicine (IATTM) was established by Dr. Nida in 2006 and currently has its active branches and representative offices in 22 countries worldwide. More info at: www.IATTM.net
