Membership

The Dzogchen Community is a nonprofit cultural association founded on the principles of the Dzogchen teaching. Its primary focus is the study and dissemination of these profound teachings through the active commitment of participants. Supporting the life of the Dzogchen Community through membership is fundamental to sustaining our Gars and Lings for the continuation of our activities in the future.

Apart from specific fundraising programmes, we rely on membership fees and generous donations for all of our running costs and many supporting projects such as Webcast, IDC, and coordination of the Dzogchen Community worldwide.

Why Become a Member?

Those who wish to make a more concrete commitment to the Community can apply for membership. Full membership is obtained after three continuous years holding a Welcome Card. Holders of the Welcome Card can purchase restricted books and access the Webcast.

Full members receive all Welcome Card benefits, plus voting rights at Annual General Meetings and eligibility to work as Gakyils. Some retreats and courses require membership or a Welcome Card in order to attend.

With Gratitude

Dear all, we extend our sincere thanks for your incredible support in sustaining our Global Gar. Your contributions play a vital role in the growth, development, and diverse monthly activities at Dzamling Gar.

Membership embodies more than financial support for projects or Gar maintenance. It represents our commitment as practitioners to uphold the continuity of the Dzogchen Community, preserving our Master’s teachings. It is an integral part of our practice as students of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu.

We invite everyone to renew their membership for 2024–2025 and continue this path together.

Love,
Dzamling Gar Gakyil
