He spent more than 20 years immersed in the rigorous study of Buddhist philosophy\, debate\, and medi tation at Sera Je Monastic University\, followed by advanced Vajrayana tra ining at Gyume Tantric College. Today\, he serves as Abbot of Segyü Tantr ic College.\nWhat makes this visit especially precious is the chance to en counter these teachings directly from someone who has devoted his entire l ife to studying\, practicing\, and preserving them within a living lineage . You do not need to be Buddhist or an experienced practitioner to benefit .\nAcross three weeks\, Rinpoche will guide us through some of Buddhism’ s most essential teachings\, including Lamrim\, emptiness\, bodhicitta\, B uddha nature\, mind training\, and transforming anger\, culminating in a W hite Tara Long Life Empowerment and retreat\, with the opportunity to rece ive or renew the Bodhisattva Vows. 🙏\nWhether you are simply curious ab out Buddhism\, looking for practical wisdom for everyday life\, or have pr acticed for many years\, this is an exceptional opportunity to experience these teachings at their source.\n✨ Join us for one evening\, a weekend retreat\, or the full three-week journey.
