We are so happy that our dear Khenpo Karten Rinpoche is taking a few weeks away to go on retreat.   Normally, a one-month retreat (or longer) is the goal each year for Rinpoche, but this year due to many circumstances, he has chosen a short retreat.  He will be staying in Santa Cruz at the home of his dear friend Lama Lekshey.   He will have all the food and provisions needed and will enjoy the time he needs for deep meditation and practice in solitude.   We wish you well Rinpoche!

Rinpoche will return on Sunday, December 8, time TBD.   We hope to welcome him home with a “kata ceremony.”
