Event Overview

A Rare Opportunity to Receive In-Depth Teachings from Drupon Lama Dorje

Course Officially Begins: April 9, 2025

One more preliminary class will occur on March 26th @ 4-6pm Costa Rica time to further explain the course, and invite your questions.

Dear Dharma Friends,

We are honored to announce an extraordinary opportunity to engage in the Five-fold Path of Mahamudra, a profound meditation system practiced by the great Drikung masters in solitary retreat. Under the experienced guidance of Drupon Lama Dorje, this in-depth training will not only provide teachings but will also support genuine transformation, ensuring that realization takes root in your mind. Drupon La has skillfully designed this course in union with the 3 Precious Trainings of the Buddha: Shila (discipline), Samadhi (Meditative Concentration), Prajna (Wisdom).

We will be taking our time going through each of these 3 trainings thoroughly and integrating the essence into our lives with at-home daily practices.

This is not just another course—it is a graded path to awakening, passed down from master to student in an unbroken oral tradition for countless decades.

It will be taught with great care so that we may deepen our practice and expand our capacity to benefit all beings.
