WEEKLY TEACHINGS WITH YANGSI RINPOCHE

Rinpoche gives public teachings almost every week in the Jokang. Please see the main page for full current schedule.

THE JOKHANG at MAITIRPA INSTITUTE

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

The Jokhang strives to operate in a spirit of openness and community, and you are welcome to join us at any time for any activity 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 events in the Jokhang. 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 Institute. However there are administrative costs to running this program; therefore your donations are needed and welcomed.
