Under the guidance of our teacher, Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo Rinpoche, and at the suggestion of Khenpo Tenzin Yeshi, we are gathering this weekend for a Rigdzin Dupa Retreat.

This retreat is dedicated to the purification of obstacles and the fulfillment of all wishes regarding the continued expansion of KPC’s activity and the humanitarian reach of KPC Buddhist Relief.

We strongly encourage our community to join us in person at the Maryland temple to practice together and accumulate merit for these vital activities. For those UNABLE to attend in person, most sessions will be available online, with the exception of Sunday evening drumming.

Check the KPC Calendar for practice texts and instructions to join via Zoom, Facebook, or YouTube.
