WEEKLY TEACHINGS WITH YANGSI RINPOCHE

Rinpoche gives public teachings almost every week in the Jokhang Meditation Hall. Please check the events listings on the home page for latest schedule.

THE JOKHANG MEDITATION HALL at MAITRIPA COLLEGE

The Jokhang Meditation Hall Program at Maitripa offers traditional Dharma teachings, pujas & prayers, and hosts visiting lamas. The Jokhang was given its name by Maitripa College's President & primary teacher, Yangsi Rinpoche, after the famed Jokhang temple in Lhasa, Tibet.

The Jokhang Program strives to operate in a spirit of openness and community, and you are welcome to join us at any time for any activity held in the Jokhang, regardless of your religious affiliation. The Jokhang is a sacred space, and we ask you to respect it. Please leave your shoes in the space provided outside the temple & dress appropriately.

See the calendar on the main page for current schedule of Jokhang Program events. In the spirit of generosity, all Jokhang programs are offered to the public free of charge, although you are invited to offer a donation as an expression of your support.


DISCOVERING BUDDHISM PROGRAM: An FPMT Introductory Program

The aim of the Discovering Buddhism Program, which is offered in the Jokhang, is to give participants a solid footing in the practice of Mahayana Buddhism. Participants will receive an experiential taste of the Buddha's teachings, some retreat experience, and skills they can use to make their lives most meaningful. The Discovering Buddhism modules are offered free of charge by Maitripa. However there are administrative costs to running this program; therefore your donations are needed and welcomed.
