Frisbee with His Holiness

This is a truncated version of a full full week of teachings with His Holiness, the Chetsang Rinpoche and Drikung Kyabgon.  The original teachings and most events centered around the Nairatmya practice, however there was more.  I was on the team of organizers for the event, so I was extremely busy busy busy.  Yet anotherContinue reading “Frisbee with His Holiness”

Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen in C’ville

I didContinue reading “Spring Retreat 2010 – Bodhicitta”
