Khenchen Tsultrim Lodro Rinpoche
Khenchen Tsultrim Lodro Rinpoche will teach an incredible text on mind training by the great master Dodrupchen Jigme Tenpe Nyima titled Turning Happiness and Suffering Into Enlightenment. This text explains in clear, direct language how to skillfully use our everyday thought processes and experiences of happiness and suffering as supports for developing beneficial qualities.
Please see important general and parking information below.
Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche has also requested transmissions for two additional practices, the Gurkhukma Kilaya and Vajrasattva: The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel. Both of these deity practices are from the visionary revealed teachings of His Holiness Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. Please join us in receiving these beautiful and practical teachings from a peerless master.
Khenchen Tsultrim Lodro has graciously consented to live stream his teachings at Gar Drolma. This event will be broadcasted live only. CLICK HERE for the Live Streaming Link.
