Seminar Overview
Rinpoche will give ‘Heart to Heart’ advice. Rinpoche’s teachings encompass the whole of the Buddhist path. Rinpoche has a wonderful knack of focusing on those topics which are most pertinent to his audience.
The seminar will begin on the evening of Friday 22nd August with a welcome talk from Khenpo Pema Nyamgal. If you are staying on-site, we kindly ask you to register between 2.30–4.30 pm on the 22nd and supper will be served at 5.30 pm. The Seminar will conclude on the afternoon of the 28th August please note teachings sometimes overrun on the last day — generally teachings will be concluded by 2pm.
We anticipate that the Ngakso Puja will take place on Saturday 23rd August and will confirm this as soon as possible. It is possible to attend the puja as a stand alone day (available in booking options).
