17th Annual Amitabha Retreat 2024

Important Notes:

  • The retreat will be held exclusively in Tibetan and no translation is available, but all are welcome to join.  Western students who have gone in the past say the good energy is well worth the trip.
  • Rinpoche encourages his students to join in the second weekend/closing weekend, and we have started a google doc to share carpool/travel arrangements. Attendees will be responsible for their own transportation and accommodations, but the Portland sangha is offering to pick folks up from the airport.
  • Breakfast and lunch will be provided (vegetarian)
