Information
The theme of the course is Bodhisattvas in Action: being representatives of the Lama's activity. During the course, we will spend time receiving teachings, meditating together, and developing our activity around the world. Many of us around the country are considering ways to bring the most benefit from the time with Lama Ole. In preparation for the course, we suggest reading Lama Ole's Riding the Tiger and gathering questions as centers and regions. In this way we will connect with the history of Diamond Way Buddhism in North America, and learn what great accomplishments unfold from a Mahamudra view, and a wish to benefit beings. Join in the preparation to receive the Lama - buy the e-book here or the hard copy here.

Special to this course is the opt out of breakfast option. We did this because we find a lot of people miss breakfast anyways and grab a cup of coffee or something on their way to the first lecture. If you are an early riser and need breakfast there is an option on registration to click yes for breakfast.

We had a limited amount of private (one person) rooms that are now booked. We are currently reviewing recent requests. There are still plenty of great options to room with others!
