The Three Yanas – Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana – encompass the entire path, from the Four Noble Truths to the Sacred World of the Vajrayana. The programs takes place outdoors under a large tent on the grounds of our center in Ward, CO, where a schedule of meditation, teachings, and social interaction provides a wonderful environment to appreciate our great fortune together as a sangha. During the Mahayana section Rinpoche will teach on, “The Mind Training in Eight Verses” by the great 12th Century sage, Geshe Langri Thangpa. These eight verses cover in condensed form the essence of the Mahayana teachings known as lojong, and form the basis for a compassionate and wise approach to all life situations. Attend in Person Live Stream About The Teachers Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche Occasionally we encounter people in our lives who have an immediate effect upon us. We are struck by the selfless nature of their presence, the strength of their confidence, the wisdom in their eyes, or the warmth they radiate. Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche is one of these people.
