The Chöd Fest
With Khenpo Ugyen Wangchuck, Lama Tsultrim Allione
August 18 - 22, 2012
Tara Mandala, Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
The Chöd Fest is an exciting addition to Tara Mandala’s retreat season and is a response to many requests from students who want to deepen their knowledge and practice of Chöd. In-depth teachings on the historical roots of this lineage will be complemented by our practice of the Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche Chöd in several locations on the sacred land of Tara Mandala. In addition, Khenpo Ugyen Wangchuck will teach the Parchangma Chöd from The Exceedingly Secret Dzinpa Rangdröl cycle to those people who wish to learn it.
There will also be instruction on many other aspects of the practice, including how to fix your ritual implements and the deeper meanings of these instruments.
All registration payments made above the lowest fee go directly into our scholarship fund.
Suggested Dana: $100 – $200
Pre-requisites: The Chod Retreat
