About the event
Join Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche and the PBC Sangha, for this auspicious day of Chokhor Duchen honoring the Buddha’s first teaching in Sarnath, India. Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche will lead meditation practice centered around our Great Kindness Teacher, Buddha Shakyamuni.
For Buddhists, this is one of the most sacred days of the year when karmic effects are naturally multiplied millions of times, so meditation practice and virtuous deeds are strongly encouraged and celebrated!
