First Floor - Retreat Center for Local Community
Ten single bed rooms
The Monastery provides the community (both Tibetan and local) with regular Dharma activities, like poojas, classes by H.H. Khamtrul Rhimpoche, H.E. Dorzong Rhimpoche. They teach the community ways to practice and live the life with Dharma.
"It is through the meditations of the Buddha that we try to realize the true meaning of the dharma. It is through insight meditation (Vipassana) that the Buddha instructed that laypeople would be able to realize the dharma themselves. The Buddha taught that direct realization on an individual level was superior to relying on speculation or traditional beliefs".
