Lama Karma Drodhul
Teachings on Song of the Mani Mantra by Khenpo Gangshar Wangpo
Saturday & Sunday, March 21-22, 2026
During this weekend Lama Karma will teach on a song by the twentieth-century Tibetan master Khenpo Gangshar Wangpo explaining the mantra of Chenrezik, the bodhisattva of compassion. He will also bestow the empowerment of Chenrezik. The refuge vow is a prerequisite for receiving the empowerment and will be offered just before it. [NOTE: You must attend in person to receive the refuge vow and/or empowerment.]
