Reflections and Photos from 2017 New Year Retreat

From Khenpo Karten Rinpoche Facebook Post, January 23, 2017:  “Such a wonderful retreat for 2017! This was our fifth annual retreat, and we were joined by Geshe Lobsang Kanshuk, my dear friend and Dharma brother from south India. Thank you to everyone who participated.  ‘May all beings minds turn towards Dharma; May that Dharma become the path; May the path be free from deception; May deception arise as innate wisdom.” (Four Dharmas of Gampopa)'”
