Medicine & Compassion Retreat in Nepal
November 6 – November 12 +0545
With Phakchok Rinpoche, Lama Oser, and Dr. David Shlim. Kathmandu, Nepal is where Dr. Shlim met Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche and began the collaboration that has led to promoting the teaching of ways to train in compassion around the world.
This retreat will be of appeal to anyone who is interested in cultivating compassion while simultaneously gaining greater peace of mind. If you are curious about Buddhist philosophy, but have worried that it’s difficult to access, starting with compassion is a great way to begin.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn about the central role of compassion in our lives, to get teachings from authentic Tibetan lamas, and to share the streets and shrines with devoted Buddhists from around the world.
