This is a monthly program of meditation, practice, and discussion and is a wonderful opportunity for folks who are new to Tibetan Buddhist Meditation practice, to receive introductory meditation instruction, guidance and support in establishing a meditation or Dharma practice in their day-to-day lives. Veteran meditation practitioners are encouraged to come and contribute to the group meditation environment, as well as deepen in their own practice.

We will be practicing calm-abiding, bodhicitta (awakened-heart), taking refuge in the three jewels, and contemplating the four thoughts that turn the mind. Together these practices form the basis to all other advanced meditation practices. By listening and discussing related teachings and commentary given by Khenpo Sherab Rinpoche, Garchen Rinpoche, Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche and others, we will learn how to apply the Holy Dharma. The intention is to stabilize our body, speech and minds through sangha meditation practice. We will examine how to apply this in our daily lives, so as to ease suffering and be a lamp unto the world.


The curriculum for this group has been organized by Khenpo Sherab Ozer Rinpoche and Khenchen
Konchog Gyaltsen Rinpoche specifically for their students in Tucson. This monthly program is intended to abide by Khenpo Ozerís wishes that we come together as a sangha while he is away teaching in Tibet the next couple of years.


These sessions will be facilitated by fellow sangha member, Matthew Vasquez at the request of Khenpo Sherab Ozer Rinpoche. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Matthew at 884-0554 or Email Matthew. Individual meditation instruction is available upon request.


These sessions are free and open to the general public. Any donations offered will be contributed to Drikung
Namgyal Ling.
