August 18 – 23

In-Person or Online Via Zoom

7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

For students with busy schedules who can’t join the full retreat (Path to True Freedom Retreat) but are eager to deepen their understanding, Rinpoche has made an “evenings only” option available. This allows participants to attend just the evening teaching sessions, either in person or online via Zoom.

Rinpoche will offer teachings on the Special Insight Chapter of the Lam Rim Chenmo by Lama Tsongkhapa. This chapter focuses on how to develop the wisdom of realizing emptiness. Rinpoche will present these profound topics in simple, accessible language to help all participants understand how understanding emptiness — the fundamental nature of reality — is essential for true freedom and well-being. By presenting these teachings in a clear and relatable way, Rinpoche aims to ensure that all participants leave with practical insights they can apply in their daily lives. This retreat is designed for all students, regardless of background or level of experience.

 “The only requirement for this course is a genuine wish for happiness.” – Serkong Tsenshap Rinpoche II
