Haven't posted in some time but I wanted to mention this fantastic opportunity for those close to Massachusetts to learn from a great teacher. I know I am looking forward to it. :om:


His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche, co-head of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, will be in Massachusetts during Labor Day weekend. He will be leading empowerments, teachings and giving a transmission on Phowa practice.

I’ve cut and pasted the info below from the Drikung Meditation Center (home of the US Jowo Rinpoche statue) website. I’ll be there for both session on Sunday and hope you’ll attend these important teachings from a truly wise and compassionate teacher.
