We are delighted to announce the upcoming Mani Drubcho, a Chenresig practice retreat and winter teachings. It will be a powerful and special time to deepen our connection with Chenresig, the Buddha of Compassion which helps to increase and strengthen our love with the unfailing guidance and inspiration of H.E. Garchen Rinpoche and the support of the Garchen Institute Lamas. The importance of practicing the Mani Drubcho every year was emphasized by the revered Mahasidda Drubwang Rinpoche. Garchen Rinpoche has stressed how crucial it is that this tradition continue for the welfare of all sentient beings.
It is a powerful way to conclude the year with an intense practice of deepening our love and bring in the new year with teachings from masters who can help us deepen our wisdom.
We look forward to gathering with you all soon in person and online to grow our love and wisdom together!
