This two module course (begins next Sat. Aug 15) will introduce the salient points related to the Six Bardos - with an emphasis on meditation.

We will begin to explore:
•How the Inner Yogas and meditation relate to the teachings related to the Bardo
•How Meditation is progressively cultivated to prepare us for our own eventual journey
•How we can show up for others
•Prayers, modified rituals and accessible practices for community and grief healing
•Overview of traditional texts and instructions relevant for community sharing and practice

Although this program will feature structured material, as always the nature of the topic and the community space invites dialogue and personal sharing. This course will be appropriate for those who might attend a number of the sessions live.

10am NY EST *select Saturdays
To register: [email protected]

Suggested Dana: $125-175
Partial scholarships available

Required reading: Natural Liberation: Padmasambhava’s Teaching on the Six Bardos - A Companion to the Tibetan Book of the Dead

(If you were part of our group that received Guhyagarbha Tantra or Karling Shitro, as well as other Shitro empowerments, the discussion will be especially relevant.)

🌿 Taking advantage of the beautiful summer, we invite you to an exceptional online meeting with Latri Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche!

On Thursday, August 20th at 6:00 PM, there will be a lecture "On the Elements in BON Tradition" 🌈

Details: Wykład online: “O żywiołach w tradycji BON” ✨ Starożytne nauki Bon w praktyce

💫 For centuries, the elements have been one of the most important topics in spiritual tradition and healing systems. In Tibetan tradition, Bon speaks of five elements: air, fire, water, earth, and space. They describe not only the world around us, but also the internal processes taking place in a person. Understanding their meaning allows one to better understand oneself and the relationship between the body, emotions, and mind 🌟

💫 The event will be held as part of the Latri Online membership.
We invite you to join!

🌿Registration: latri.org
(if you are already in Latri Online, you don't need to do anything :)) we will send you the link to the Zoom meeting soon)

🌿If you can't be there live - the recorded lecture will be available on the Latri platform 😊

🌿The monthly subscription fully supports the school in Tibet - more information on the website.

See you online! ❤️

Registration is now open for a very special retreat and dialogue at Ligmincha International’s Serenity Ridge Retreat Center this October: Being Present to the Moment of Death: Wisdom, Medicine and the Journey Through the Bardo.

I’m really looking forward to being part of this gathering with my teacher Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, who will offer teachings and practices on the bardo of death. This is the fifth of our six yearly retreats exploring different aspects of the Mother Tantra, and once again we will bring the teachings into dialogue with perspectives from medicine, scholarship, contemplative care, and lived experience.

We will be joined by Menpa Phuntsog Wangmo, who will share the perspective of Tibetan medicine; Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim, Ph.D., who will explore death and dying through her scholarship as well as reflections from the Jewish tradition; and Susan Bauer-Wu, Ph.D., R.N., clinician, researcher, former president of the Mind & Life Institute, and author of Leaves Falling Gently, who will bring her experience with serious illness, mindfulness, compassion, and end-of-life care. Leslie Blackhall, M.D. and I will have the pleasure of serving as moderators for these dialogues.

Death and impermanence touch every one of us. I hope these days together can help us explore how we can meet these transitions with greater awareness, clarity, compassion, and presence, both for ourselves and when accompanying others.

The retreat is open to everyone, and you can participate either in person at Serenity Ridge in Virginia or online. These will also be Rinpoche’s final teachings of 2026.

October 6–11, 2026
Serenity Ridge Retreat Center, Virginia + Online

I hope you can join us for this very meaningful retreat and conversation.
