Guru Rinpoche Mantra Accumulation Retreat

Join us for this powerful practice to relieve the suffering of beings through elimination of self-grasping and the generation of bodhichitta (the intent to benefit all sentient beings). Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche and the international sangha have the good fortune to be present for this profound and powerful practice at GBI.

Please visit Garchen Buddhist Institute’s website for more information regarding the retreat, mantra accumulation and text.
