Dear students and Dharma friends,
Khenpo Tenzin is setting aside time each month for new and continuing students for teachings, practice and Q& A for the 5-Fold Path of Mahamudra (aka 3-Year Retreat Home Study program). Ani Chodron will also join from time to time. We will have Kusang available for translating Spanish and assisting Khenpo as needed with Tibetan translations during these sessions (unless otherwise noted for a specific session).
This session’s teachings will begin the preparation for starting Refuge practice, which is referred to as the Uncommon (Inner) Ngondro practice. Students engaged in this study will begin the Refuge section in February.

The 5-Fold Path of Mudra offers step-by-step instructions and practice to progress along the Buddhist Path towards Enlightened Mind encompassing Bodhicitta, Wisdom, Compassion, Loving Kindness and progression in Meditative concentration and absorption. The curriculum includes all the practices of the traditional 3-Year Retreat. As started by Drupon Samten Rinpoche, we will follow the 3-Year Retreat “Home Study” approach. This means that you primary continue in your place of residence, as your time permits between other commitments you may have with work and family. In accordance with His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgo Chetsang, we have flexibility as to the number of mantra accumulations for each practice during the “Home Study” program.
In engaging in these practices, one receives the blessings of the precious root and lineage lamas and gives us support to bring clarity and stability in our practices and in our minds.
