Dzogchen Lineage curriculum
The Dzogchen Lineage curriculum comprises teachings and commentary on The Buddha Path written by Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche. The Buddha Path is a concise practice text that provides the key to all of the Sutrayana, Vajrayana, and Dzogchen teachings of Buddha. This accessible and effective book offers clear practice instructions for the beginning student as well as a lifetime’s wealth of profound instructions for the advanced practitioner.
The Buddha Path is also a core text for the Dzogchen Buddha Path Internet Teaching and Training Program. This program’s comprehensive approach balances scholarly study, group practice, and powerful meditation techniques.
Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche unites ancient wisdom with modern techniques, directly applying Buddha’s teachings to the challenges of today’s world. Rinpoche mainly teaches courses in English, drawing upon his knowledge of Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Chinese when appropriate. This program will be led by Khenpo Choga Rinpoche and authorized Dzogchen Buddha Path Bodhi Lamas and Dharma Acharyas who will teach, tutor, and facilitate group discussion. The Dzogchen Buddha Path Internet Teaching and Training Program provides all students with a firm grounding in Buddhist fundamentals, so they can help themselves and others increase personal happiness, create social harmony, and establish the roots of world peace.
The power of the Dzogchen Lineage lies in the unbroken succession of practitioners who have trained their minds by repeatedly applying Buddha’s teachings in their daily lives. It is for students who have faith in Buddha, and who understand that progress in Dharma requires comprehensive training and diligence in the three techniques: learning, contemplation, and meditation. If this describes your intentions and heartfelt aspirations, please join us in perpetuating the Dzogchen teachings.

He has received transmissions and teachings of the Buddhist Sutras, Tantras, and Shastras from forty-two different Buddhist masters, as well as specific instructions in the Dzogchen Tantras from his Root Masters — Khenchen Padma Tsewang, Drubchen Chatral Chochyab, Guru Dechen Namdrol, and Great Lama Athu.

“On one cushion, one person at one time can practice all of Buddha’s teachings.” – Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche
Establishing All Beings In True Happiness
Humanity is facing increasingly serious problems, including pandemics, multiple wars, climate change, and social instability. Although humankind has made unprecedented scientific advances, our inner well-being has not kept pace. Our focus on technological and material gain alone does not address the root of physical and mental suffering being experienced.
Negative thinking and negative karma are the causes of ill health and mental suffering, as well as disease, disharmony, social strife, violence, and war. The methods of the Dzogchen Buddha Path Lineage eliminate these causes of suffering and increase positive thinking, which leads to peace, happiness, and wisdom and decreases fear and worry. Studying and practicing under the guidance of a qualified teacher, Dzogchen
Buddha Path students clarify confusion and awaken, step by step, to their true nature: Buddha, True Happiness.
This world has a lot of problems and conflicts, but we must turn obstacles into opportunities. We are honored to unite the hearts of our Sangha community from all parts of the world in the learning, contemplation, and meditation of Dharma to establish world peace and benefit all beings. We are looking forward to having all Sangha join our in-person retreats, teachings, and programs at various Dzogchen Buddha Path retreat and Dharma centers, and especially our Dzogchen Lineage Internship Programs.
The Dzogchen Buddha Path Lineage
The Dzogchen Buddha Path Lineage is known for its synthesis of the entirety of Buddha’s teachings. In northern India 2,952 years ago, an enlightened human being named Bodhisattva Siddhartha attained Awakened Omniscience, and was thereafter renowned as Buddha Shakyamuni. For the next 47 years, Buddha taught Dharma, the path of enlightenment, to countless students in this world. Since that time, this unbroken lineage has been passed down from teacher to student for generations in India and Tibet. The teachings of Buddha have been continuously studied, practiced, transmitted, and protected up to the present day by the enlightened Dzogchen Lineage Masters.
The Mission of the Dzogchen Shri Singha Foundation
Dzogchen Shri Singha Foundation’s mission is to support the preservation, practice, and transmission of the
ancient and unbroken Dzogchen tradition in the modern world. The Dzogchen Wisdom Lineage—Buddha’s
entire authentic teaching—is a time-tested tradition of practice with specific techniques to achieve both the
immediate goal of individual happiness and the ultimate goal of Vast Awakening.
