Lama Tsultrim Events

Explore the history, core teachings and practices that guide Buddhist practitioners in the Tibetan tradition in waking up to their true nature of innate compassion and wisdom. Each five-week course builds upon the previous while standing alone as a complete teaching, and may be taken individually.

Course One of “The Heart of Buddhism: A Year Long Buddhist Studies Program.” Experience how the Buddha’s own journey offers profound guidance for navigating today’s challenges. The exploration begins with five weekly sessions, each carefully designed to build understanding and practice.

Course Two of “The Heart of Buddhism: A Year Long Buddhist Studies Program.” Learn how the Buddha’s insights into suffering and liberation speak directly to our modern experience. Delve into the essence of the Eightfold Path: the Buddha’s step by step instructions for liberating ourselves from suffering. 

Course Three of “The Heart of Buddhism: A Year Long Buddhist Studies Program.” Discover Mahayana Buddhism’s revolutionary teachings on wisdom and compassion, illuminated through the feminine embodiment of Prajnaparamita, transforming personal awakening into boundless benefit for all beings. 

Drawing from over 50 years of training and practice in Tibetan Buddhism particularly in the Dzogchen tradition, Lama Tsultrim will guide us in the identification of this natural state of self-cognizing awareness through traditional teachings, stories, experiential exercises, and meditations in nature. This retreat takes place in British Columbia, Canada.

Course Four of “The Heart of Buddhism: A Year Long Buddhist Studies Program.” Experience the transformative power of Vajrayana Buddhism, the “diamond vehicle,” in which the sacred feminine and householder tradition illuminate a revolutionary path that transforms every experience into an opportunity for awakening.

Course Five of “The Heart of Buddhism: A Year Long Buddhist Studies Program.” Dzogchen (the “Great Perfection”) and Mahamudra (the “Great Seal”) are considered the highest teachings of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Discover how these teachings offer a direct path to realizing the mind’s innate clarity, and a training ground for abiding in wakefulness.
