WALKING THE PATH OF THE BUDDHA
LOPÖN BARBARA RYAN

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 21, 2015
9:30 AM – 5:30 PM

The path of the nine yanas (or journeys) provides an overview of the Buddhist teachings and was generously taught by H.E. Mindrolling Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche on her recent visit to Osel Ling. This one-day program will provide the opportunity to review and explore more fully the first three of these yanas: God and Human Yana, Shravakayana, and Pratekyabuddhayana.

Spending more time with each of these yanas is helpful in increasing our understanding of their view and skillfulness and in learning more about the way in which they are a natural expression of our meditative journey. With this perspective we can more easily benefit from each opportunity on the journey towards awakened mind.

Open to Everyone, this program is for those who attended Rinpoche’s August 2015 teachings, as well as those who were not able to be there. $75 tuition.
