Every meditation center is guided by experienced instructors who provide attendees with a variety of introductory programs and information that help them select the most appropriate curriculum.
Basic Meditation Courses
We all yearn for happiness, but the pressures and challenges encountered in daily life preclude us from discovering true happiness.
Through the wisdom of meditation, we can find inner peace and contentment and maintain a subtle awareness to help us rid ourselves of troubling thoughts and emotions. Our true nature is already within us, and through meditation we are able to gradually restore our essence of mind.
The meditation courses developed by Rinpoche teach participants to experience ancient Tibetan wisdom methods to enrich their daily lives.
Under the guidance of experienced instructors, participants have the potential to inspire within themselves increased confidence, compassion, creativity, and other practical, real-life benefits.

The Ultimate Achievement
”Ultimate Achievement” represents the foundational traditions of Dzogchen practice. Rinpoche is well-versed in applying these teachings that are commensurate with the disciples’ abilities.
Transforming Mind
Modern life is full of uncertainties. Each one of us is plagued by our fears and desires. Through the practices, one can cease being bound by pain and suffering in life, and instead we will enter a realm of luminous mind.
