Greetings! We are pleased to announce our Dharma program that will take place from July 2026 through to November 2026.
This semester, the English language Dharma class is titled “Overcoming the fear of death: A Buddhist view”. It will introduce the Buddhist view of death, the methods for coping with death and utilizing them in one’s spiritual cultivation.
The Tibetan language Dharma class will be based on the Foundation of All Good Qualities, a Lamrim text and is for beginners to Buddhist studies.
In October, we will be conducting a two-week Yamantaka Retreat (in Tibetan language only) solely for thosewho have received the Solitary Yamantaka initiation. In preparation for the retreat, there will be Yamantaka Sadhana practice sessions (in Tibetan only) on Saturdays.
