Guru Rinpoche Mantra Accumulation Retreat

March 30 @ 9:45 am 11:30 pm Mountain Time

With H.E. Garchen Rinpoche, Venerable Khenpo Samdup 
& the GBI Lamas

At GARCHEN BUDDHIST INSTITUTE, Chino Valley, AZ

For the third year Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche invites all the sangha to the Mantra Accumulation (Padmasambhava) Retreat with HE Garchen Rinpoche.

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.
