Dzogchen Beara

[4][5] Peter Cornish and Dzogchen Beara were the subject of a documentary made for Dutch television called The Retiring Hermit.

[6] Cornish's memoir describing the creation of Dzogchen Beara was published in 2014 under the title Dazzled by Daylight.

[9] The first closed one-year retreats, which follow a traditional Tibetan schedule of practice and study, began in 1994.

[10] It has also hosted events with several non-Tibetan teachers, including Father Laurence Freeman,[11] Sister Stanislaus Kennedy, Dr Tony Bates,[12] Christine Longaker, Patrick Gaffney, Sharon Salzberg[13] and Andrew Warr.

[14][15] The project is being guided by Orgyen Tobgyal, who consecrated the site by performing a fire ceremony in 2010.
