The King of Noble Prayers
Meditation and Discussion Groups
&
Tibetan Qi Gong

We are delighted to announce our Summer Retreat and welcome you all to attend. The King of Noble Prayers Aspiring to the Deeds of the Excellent describes the aspirations of all the buddhas and bodhisattvas as the greatest benefit to all beings. This prayer challenges our persistent ignorant dualistic perceptions dissolving them into the boundless ultimate reality of the awakened mind.

We are very blessed to receive commentary from H.E. Garchen Rinpoche on the King of Noble Prayers. Earlier in his life Garchen Rinpoche was in prison with one of his teachers named Adeu Rinpoche who was a highly revered Drupa Kagyu lama. Adeu Rinpoche hand wrote the entire King of Noble Prayers and added his notes, in a very small booklet.

Adeu Rinpoche gave this small booklet to Garchen Rinpoche who brought it to America over 20 years ago. For the first time Garchen Rinpoche has decided to share this extraordinarily powerful profound prayer and notes from Adeu Rinpoche with his students.

We are very fortunate to announce that visiting Khenpo Tsering Tashi, a great scholar, will be leading Q and A and discussion groups during this summer retreat.
Khenpo Tenzin will also lead discussion groups to help deepen our understanding and experience of this essential aspirational prayer.

The lineage of Tibetan Qigong comes directly from Garchen Rinpoche’s root guru the great Dzogchen Master Khenpo Munsel Rinpoche who taught it to Qigong Master Zhi Sheng Wang. Kathleen Davis is a student of Master Zhi Sheng Wang and will guide us in the powerful qigong practice. It is a standing meditation form which helps us to gather fresh, elemental energies with which to heal and to support us on our path to understanding our true nature. It is simple to learn and yields profound results with practice.

We will livestream the teachings and discussion groups.

We invite you all to attend this powerful retreat offered for the first time!
