Yeselling – Luminous since the beginning!
Yeselling, a non-profit association, is the Ling of the international Dzogchen Community in Austria and part of the worldwide Dzogchen Community. It is part of the heritage of Professor Namkhai Norbu, the founder of the International Dzogchen Community, and therefore one of the departments of the ATIYOGA FOUNDATION.
Professor Namkhai Norbu gave to the Ling the name “Yeselling” which means “Luminous since the beginning”. Yeselling was opened in December 2008 by Elio Guarisco and inaugurated by Yeshi Silvano Namkhai in February 2009.
A Ling is a spiritual place of the Dzogchen Community to preserve and further the Teachings and Transmissions of Dzogchen. Various activities are organized in a Ling, like retreats and seminars on the Dance of the Vajra, Yantra Yoga, or Khaita-Dances, and courses on Dzogchen.
In Yeselling one also can find one of the biggest collections of statues in relation to the Dzogchen Teachings. Such a collection of statues is hardly to find anywhere else. The statues are of extraordinary quality, gold plated and specially made for the Shang Shung Institute.
Yeselling is also a perfect place where members of the Dzogchen Community can do personal retreats.
YESELLING
Oh, how good it is being here,
to the fortress of presence,
adorned with the mantras of the fearless ones.
Come quickly here to the place of intensive practice,
where you can feel the phurbu of it-ness wherever go.
Come quickly here and feel the bliss
of our own state
of being.
Located on the top of a hill,
with a view in all directions,
a real gem
where the phase of mediation melts effortlessly
into the post-meditative phase
without being changed or modified,
just remaining in the state of presence.
Come quickly here and enjoy your own bliss of your one state.
