Our Guru, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, has now officially begun his three year retreat that he announced last year. While Rinpoche will be apart from us physically over the next few years, he will continue to be with us in his mind and in his prayers. During this time, Rinpoche encourages his disciples and students to continue their practice and, importantly, to join with the center practices and do short retreats when possible. In support of Rinpoche’s wishes, the Headquarters Center plans to do a Green Tara Retreat this coming August with Lama Trinley from Rinpoche’s Phoenix Center. This weekend retreat will be dedicated to Mingyur Rinpoche for his good health and longevity.

May our Guru be always in our hearts and prayers.

Best wishes,
Dorje Palmo
President, Yongey Buddhist Center Headquarters
