Discover Your Pure Nature
Public Talk | 7:00–8:30 PM
In the Buddhist tradition, our true nature is understood to be fundamentally pure, awake, and full of potential. Yet our everyday experiences, habitual patterns, and confusion can obscure our recognition of this inherent nature.
Through this public talk, Khenpo Tenkyong will explore our innate nature of wisdom and compassion and offer guidance on recognizing our pure nature through meditation and daily life.
Donations: Give what you can. There is no fixed donation amount, and no one is turned away for lack of funds.

Mindfulness & Bodhicitta
Weekend Dharma Teachings
Khenpo Tenkyong will offer special teachings on mindfulness and bodhicitta, guiding us in cultivating present-moment awareness and the compassionate heart that is the essence of the Mahayana path.
With warmth and clarity, Khenpo-la will illuminate how mindfulness deepens our practice and how bodhicitta—the wish to awaken for the benefit of all beings—transforms our daily lives into the path of liberation.
