Triyana
With blessings and guidance from our teacher, Khenpo Lama Migmar, and in honor of his Guru's lineage, we are pleased to offer Triyana, a three-part/ three year series based on the central teachings of the Buddhist tradition.
The Triyana training is an immersive program that will provide a comprehensive overview of the turnings of the wheel of dharma and the dharma of the Buddha. The course will focus on methods and practices that integrate the Buddha's teachings to awaken an enduring spiritual life of harmony, peace and purpose.
