We'd like to invite you to join in the daily practice at the retreat center. This is a great opportunity to carry through the basic practices of the retreat from your own home. If you are in the office, bring a headset and you can listen as you work, while keeping in mind the sacredness of the chants you hear.

Dear Friends,
The 2010 Palyul Summer Retreat in upstate New York will proceed as scheduled (July 10 to August 10) under the direct command of His Holiness Karma Kuchen Rinpoche and the two Heart Sons (HE Gyangkhang Rinpoche and HE Mugsang Kuchen Rinpoche), and registration is now open.
Dear Palyul Ling students ,
It was always His Holiness Penor Rinpoche's wish that all Palyul students would develop good qualities. To provide the most conducive circumstances for that growth, he wanted them to study with only the best possible teachers.
In 2010, Palyul Ling will formally invited Tulku Thubsang Rinpoche, the eldest living holder of our tradition, to lead the 2010 retreat at the Upstate Retreat Center. A representative traveled to Tibet to make the request according to the traditional style. The U.S. one-month Summer Retreat takes place on 10 July to 10 August yearly.
The registration form and flier for this year's retreat is here
