Attendance is limited. Pre-registration is required. Please contact Pati Stein at 465-1882 no later than April 15 to register.There has beena change of venue for this teaching. Please see the new venue details below.

Mahamudra is a Sanskrit word that refers to both the nature of all phenomena, and the Buddhist system of meditation to help practitioners realize this nature. By realizing the nature of reality we are able to dispel our own confusion, thus being in a position to be of most help to others.
This three-day retreat will focus on the Mahamudra Practice and is limited to existing students of Khenpo Sherab Ozer Rinpoche. Participants are required to attend all three days of this retreat.
Retreat Fee: $100 (Vegetarian lunch included)

The “medicine” is the holy Dharma and all sentient beings are patients. As with other practices, the ultimate purpose is enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings.
