24 hour Retreat at PCD Dallas
We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us for this very special and powerful practice that will be conducted by Khenpo Tenzin Norgay and our new PCD Dallas resident Lama: Lama Jigmey.
For those attending, please report to the temple Saturday, April 11th between 10 and 11 am. At 11:30 am, we begin with Riwo Sangcho (The Mountain Smoke Offering Ritual) and then the Bodhisattva Vow. We will then receive specific instructions by Khenpo Norgay, who will guide us throughout the day. Following our practice and teachings, we will recite mantras repeatedly, throughout the 24 hour period. A more comprehensive schedule will be provided upon arrival.
On Sunday at 11:00 am, Khenpo Norgay will provide us with another teaching. Following this teaching, we will have a Tsok offering, so please to bring items to offer. We will also have an appreciation offering for Khenpo Norgay and Lama Jigmey. The cost for the two day event is $25.00 per day, which will include lunch, dinner and drinks. If you cannot be there both days, you are welcome to attend the teaching on Sunday.
