This four-day immersive experience will be focused on the Lotus Trilogy as well as the lens provided by “The Light of Lotus Master,” the teaching manual prepared by Rinpoche to guide faculty. All three books, Lotus Body, Lotus Language, and Lotus Mind will be featured in our discussions.

For those who may be on a teaching path, while there are further requirements that must be satisfied, you will be taking your first step toward the possibility of teaching this precious material in one to three years.
