President's Letter

Dear Dharma Brothers and Sisters:

Our precious Guru, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, returned to his Center on April 26th and held teachings at our headquarters in Milpitas, California and later at our branch in Flushing, New York. We welcome our Guru's return and we are very thankful for his teaching and guidance.

Rinpoche announced while at the New York Branch that he will be entering a 3 year retreat in May of next year to fulfill a vow he made 10 years ago. He told us that during his retreat he will keep his students in his heart and in his prayers. Rinpoche's humor and compassion has touched everyone around him. He will have more teachings and stories to share with all his students around the world when he returns in 2014. Rinpoche encourages us to continue our mediation and daily practice and hopes that we will find time to take mini-retreats.

We all pray for our precious Guru Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche during his 3 year retreat and wish him good health and a speedy return.

Your Sister in the Dharma,
Dorje Palmo
President

Very Venerable Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche's 2010 Retreat Programs
It was with much anticipation and gratitude that students welcomed our guru Very Venerable Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche's return to the Center for week-long programs. Rinpoche taught Level 2 and Level 3 Path of Liberation (Mahamudra) at Pal Karma Dorje Dzinpa Ling in Mendocino County. The weather was beautiful and students really appreciated Rinpoche's compassionate approach and clear teaching. Level 3 students received a certificate of completion on the last day of the program. An appreciation lunch at a local restaurant in Willits concluded the four-day retreat. >>>Photo links
