Dear Sangha,
We warmly invite you to join us on Zoom for 6 evenings of Vajra Recitation practice with Lama Dawa Zangmo (Zhuravka).
The Vajra Recitation practice is based on teachings given by H.E. Garchen Rinpoche while providing commentary on Mahasiddha Tilopa’s Pith Instructions on Mahamudra. This practice combines the recitation of the syllables Om Ah Hum with the subtle wind energies, enhancing awareness and helping to calm and clear the mind. At the start of each session, Lama Dawa will offer brief instructions, followed by 30 minutes of practice. You do not need to attend every session but you will miss the instructions that night as well as the practice. Here is the link:

We look forward to practicing together!
For those who are attending these teachings and practice, if you have questions, please send them to this email address. Zhuravka will incorporate the answers into her teachings: questionstoclarify@gmail.com

Amitabha Retreat with Ven. Khenpo Konchok Molam
During this retreat, Khenpo Molam will teach about Amitabha Buddha and the visualization of his Pureland. As Amitabha is closely related to Phowa, this will be beneficial for our future phowa retreat. Each morning we will recite the Long Aspiration Prayer to be Reborn in Dewachen (Amitabha’s Pureland) before insructions begin.
This retreat is in-person and on-line. The Zoom link is: https://us02web.zoom.us/
In-house participants are welcome to bring a lunch and stay over at the Center or go out for lunch.
Please, if you are able, make a donation of $35-$75 for this at the following Paypal Button. Please specify which program you are attending. Thank you!
