Summer retreat update 2010-05-16
Sat, 05/15/2010 - 20:14 — PalyulDear 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.
2010 Summer Retreat
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
