Mahamudra Vipashyana Retreat: The Nature of Mind

Sept. 6-8, 2024, ONSITE or ONLINE. We talk about having a mind, but when we look for it, where is it? What is it?

Join Nalandabodhi’s Chancellor Acharya Lama Tenpa Gyaltsen in West Hartford, Connecticut, for an ONSITE residential retreat or ONLINE, delving into the second Mahamudra Vipashyana pointing out instruction on the Nature of Mind. The Friday evening teaching is open to the public (ONLINE or ONSITE with advance registration).
