Pilgrimage to India and Nepal

Manjushri Dharma Center closed
& weekly newsletter on pause

Rinpoche along with his Dharma Brother Thay Kozen has concluded leading a pilgrimage to the Buddhist holy places from 11-29 October, and the group received a blessing from His Holiness the Dalai Lama on 26 October.   There were a total of 28 people on the trip, 22 for the full three weeks, and 6 joining for the Dharmshala portion.  While most travelers have returned, Rinpoche remains in India for a few more weeks.  He will then be traveling to the east coast for time with family and students there.   Rinpoche will return in early December, but no firm date yet.  In December, he may take a rest period or personal retreat.   We will keep everyone posted as to when regular practices at Manjushri Dharma Center will be resumed.
