Sangha – the blessed community of Dharma practitioners – is one of the Three Jewels that supports us on our path of practice and study. Through community we receive the support and encouragement to deepen our personal journey; in meeting others on the path, we expand our horizons and refresh our perspectives. 

The Magyu Sangha Gathering is a special opportunity to join with fellow practitioners on the Magyu path in a day of teachings, practice and shared conversation. Lama Tsultrim will join us for a dharma talk and Q&A. You’ll hear from other Magyu teachers; engage in group practice; and have time for discussion in small groups to deepen your connection with fellow practitioners.

As a living lineage, Magyu offers us ongoing blessings and inspiration to meet ourselves and our current world with vast view and an open heart. 

We look forward to seeing you!
