Paramita of the Month
The Paramita for May is Meditation: "How you wake up to the brilliant clarity and panoramic awareness of the experience of emptiness."
Tara Practice
The practice of Green Tara can help overcome fear and anxiety, enabling one to open up to one’s own heart of compassion. The practice consists of visualizations, songs, and prayers, composed by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche and Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche.

Deepen your experience of meditation - and of your own mind. In this experiential workshop, we will use guided meditation and discussion to begin to see through the root cause of unhappiness-our misperception of reality.
