Teachings
May 28, 29 and 31st (no teaching on May 30th). Mahamudra literally means 'great seal'. Mahamudra is an advanced form of Buddhist meditation practice, comprising methods of attaining a direct introduction to the nature and essence of the mind. These teachings are open to all and you may attend any or all of the classes.
Empowerment
Heruka Chakrasamvara is one of the main tantric deities in Tibetan Buddhism and this is an empowerment into Highest Yoga Tantra. This is a three day empowerment and one must attend all three days to receive it. Rinpoche is allowing those who want to take it as a blessing (no commitments) to come for the night of June 4th ONLY.

Venerable Chöden Rinpoche was born in 1932 in eastern Tibet. At the age of 3, he was recognized as the reincarnation of one of the high Lamas of Rongbo Rabten Monastery. At the age of 8, Rinpoche entered Sera Je Monastery. He completed his studies by the age of 29, with a focus on the Vinaya. When the Chinese invaded Tibet, Rinpoche started retreat in Lhasa. Lasting for 19 years, Rinpoche was in strict retreat without moving from the room until he came out in 1980. In 1985, Rinpoche was able to leave Tibet where he settled at Sera Je Monastery in south India. He travels extensively to teach and his kind manner and profound knowledge are an inspiration not to be missed.
