Sadhana of Mahamudra

New & full moon days, 7 - 8 pm (see our Clickable Calendar)

It embodies a way of invoking the energy and wisdom of the Kagyü and Nyingma schools of Tibetan Buddhism and cutting through all forms of dogmatism. The practice involves chanting the text and relaxing into the atmosphere that doing so creates. More
