One-Month Buddha Path Retreat
July 21 – August 24, 2012
The first month of the Internship is also the 2012 Buddha Path Retreat (for Chinese and English Speakers) a multi-national gathering of the International students of Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche. It is recommended that those who attend this one-month program be either those who have already attended at least one seasonal retreat within the Dzogchen Lineage, potentially the Summer Retreat referenced above; or, those able to be tutored by a graduate of a prior Internship, who can help you prepare.

Three-Month Internship (with One-Month Option)
July 21 – October 26, 2012
The full three-month program is intended only for graduates of prior Dzogchen Lineage Internships. This internship is intended for those who sincerely want to become Dzogchen Lineage teachers, benefit others, and realize wisdom and compassion in this lifetime. It is for students who have faith in the Dzogchen Lineage, and who understand that progress in Dharma, the root of happiness, requires comprehensive training and continuous diligence in the three techniques: learning, contemplation, and meditation.

Besides these two weekends, you are also encouraged to volunteer anytime at the DRC, especially during the next six weeks prior to the start of the Internship on July 21st. Contact us at the email or phone below to arrange your private volunteer retreat.
We are in particular need of people with trade skills such as carpentry, but we can use the help of volunteers of all skill levels. There are many jobs to do here including cleaning buidlings, gardening, and yard work that don't require much training in order for you to make a great contribution.

If you're not able to come to the DRC as a volunteer, you can still support us remotely by engaging in acts of generous giving. We need financial support for the completion of the shrine, improvements to the mandala stations, and the scholarship fund to support our full-time volunteers.
