Please join us this Fall as we discuss Our Pristine Mind by Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche. Rinpoche's topic is uncovering our inherent Buddhanature, something he strives to clearly show in as straightforward a manner as possible. While Orgyen Chowang is a meditation master in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, his prose is plain spoken and practical. Discussion this winter will revolve around readings from the book.
