Sukhasiddhi Foundation

Dear Sukhasiddhi Friends, if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, please join us for this wonderful opportunity to see and hear Lama Döndrup as a classical musician and support Sukhasiddhi Foundation too.

Lama Döndrup breaks down the word 'Sangyé' for us in the latest Buddhist vocabulary blog post: sukhasiddhi.org/buddhist-vocabulary/sangye.

Join us for a four-day non-residential retreat that offers an opportunity to engage deeply with the practice of Chöd as transmitted in the Zurmang tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

Mahamudra Chöd: Opening to Fearlessness and Compassion
August 13-16 | 9 AM - 5 PM daily
Led by Lama Döndrup Drolma

This retreat is intended both for those new to the practice and for those wishing to deepen an existing connection to Chöd within a supportive practice environment.

Lama Palden Drolma will offer a Chagdrukpa Teaching on Saturday, June 20 at 3 PM.

Chagdrukpa is the fierce form of Chenrezig, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. He removes obstacles, both inner and outer, on the path to awakening, and protects practitioners, again on both an inner and outer level. He is dearly loved by those who come to know him as he is like a best friend. Connecting with this enlightened protector also brings many blessings, both spiritually and in our daily lives.

Prerequisites: You need to have taken Refuge Vows and Bodhisattva Vows as well as having done some Chenrezig practice.
