Mandala Practice Weekend Retreat

with Drupon Thinley Ningpo Rinpoche

We warmly invite you to join us for a special weekend retreat devoted to the practice of Mandala within the Ngondro of the Fivefold Path of Mahamudra as part of our 3 Year program. Under the guidance of Drupon Rinpoche, our precious teacher and Retreat Master, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to deepen your connection with one of the most powerful methods of gathering the accumulation of merit in the Buddhist tradition. We strongly encourage all participants of the Three Year Fivefold Path of Mahamudra series to attend and all are welcome to attend whether participating in the Three Year program or not.

Online and In-Person

If you are not part of the 3-year program and plan to attend the retreat, donations are gratefully accepted.

You will want to bring all your materials: mandala set, bumpa, rice (or gemstones) to build your mandala with, lap cloth, a yoga mat or other pad to do half prostrations on, and a small table if you have one.
