Lojong: Compassionate Heart, Awakened Mind

April 12 and 13, 2025; Two-Day Retreat, In person only

with Dungse Chakung Jigme Wangdrak Rinpoche and Anam Thubten

In an age of chaos and confusion at all levels, mind training, or lojong, is the right spiritual remedy for all of us. It can provide us with the means to embrace all circumstances as the path of love, courage, and inner liberation. Dungse Chakung Jigme Wangdrak Rinpoche and Anam Thubten will teach lojong from the point of view of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism as well as from their own experiences.
