After many years, we are delighted to welcome Khandro Rinpoche again at Dechen Chöling!

Mindrolling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche is a unique teacher in many respects. She is one of very few women lamas in the Tibetan Buddhist world, and is recognised as a lineage holder in both the Kagyu and Nyingma schools.

This programme includes:

• a two-day retreat (Maggio 12 e 13), led by senior teachers Catherine Eveillard and Tessa Racine, as a preparation for and introduction to the teachings offered by Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche
• two days of teaching (Maggio 14 e 15) on the Refuge and Bodhisattva Vows by Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche
• for those who wish to take the vows, there will be a ceremony on the evening of the 14th (Voto di rifugio) and on the afternoon of the 15th (Bodhisattva Voto).

Here is a teaching of Rinpoche on the meaning of taking refuge.
