Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche: Psychedelic Experience & the Nature of Mind

Information and Registration

The Contemplative Resource Center presents a series of online interdisciplinary dialogues on Psychedelics & the Contemplative Path, including a May 5 session with Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche.

Psychedelics can intensify and transform sensory phenomena such that their status as the mere play of the mind, apparent yet unreal, becomes experientially obvious. Moreover, many users report life-changing experiences of selflessness and interdependence, which are closely correlated to therapeutic outcomes. 

Can “plant teachers” point out the true nature of mind and reality? Or are these moments that only appear profound under the influence of a drug? Rinpoche will discuss the relevance of these experiences to the contemplative path.
