Topic: The Dakini Niguma’s Extraordinary Tonglen
SATURDAYS | (2026 - 2027)
October 17, November 14, December 12, January 16, March 13, April 10
Time: 9 AM - 12 PM (Pacific)
Location: Virtual / Zoom
In this six month Sukhasiddhi Women’s Group series we will study, practice, and discuss the Extraordinary Tonglen meditation that has come down to us from the human wisdom dakini Niguma. It was passed through the Shangpa Lineage to the previous Kalu Rinpoche and on to his students.
Lama Palden Drolma has taught and wrote the book “Love on Every Breath,” on this meditation, so many of you may be familiar with it. This meditation is the pre-eminent way to open the depth and breath of your heart into love. It is also a profound gateway into experiencing your inherent awakened nature.
Whether or not you have done this practice previously, you will have the opportunity to deeply immerse yourself and more fully open to profound compassion and love.
Please note: There are limited openings in the group and you may be contacted for an interview to join the group.
For Those on Zoom
We request you be fully present with Zoom video on for classes and trainings. This is an opportunity for the lamas and teachers to connect with you. If this is not possible, please let the registrar or teacher know.
Registration closes Friday, October 16 at 12 PM Pacific.
