I will teach each of the forty-two secret essential points of the Tӧgal from Heart Drops of Küntu Zangpo, that are able to achieve the result of the three bodies of enlightenment in one life and one body, explained one by one as stated in the root text. Practitioners who have been seized by these special oral instructions will naturally purify all the appearances of saṃsāra, which are deluded appearances, and naturally seize the natural ground of awareness in the body of the great transference of the body in the space of the original purity of the ground.” Geshe Gelek Therefore, Geshe Tenzin Gelek welcomes all fortunate disciples, wherever they are, who wish to engage properly in the practice of the Great Perfection of Tögal.
Sessions include time for teaching, questions, answers, and guided group meditations.
This material will be presented in a way that is open to those who are both brand new to learning Dzogchen and/or the Yungdrung Bön tradition and those who have practice experience.

This is all of the 42 essential points of the luminous Thögal practice, which was taught by Küntu Zangpo, and which the Khandromas bound them in coded verses. The past experts were not able to decode and explain them. I (Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen Rinpoche) have had the fortune to do this. Now Geshe Tenzin Gelek Rinpoche will give a clear and concise explanation of this topic, using the words of the text. Therefore, please consider this.
