Essence of Development and Completion Stage (cUS.MSN-H-BE-260109)

Essence of Development and Completion Stage (1/9/2026 - 1/11/2026)

Khenpo Gyurme, Tergar lama and abbott of Mingyur Rinpoche’s home monastery, Tergar Ösel Ling, will share teachings on two key practices of the Vajrayana path, development stage and completion stage. Development stage uses our imagination as a path to see our true nature, develop our wisdom, and clear away our confusion. Completion stage is the direct recognition of our fundamental nature. Khenpo Gyurme’s teaching will cover the essential points of these two stages as described in the classic Tibetan Buddhist text, Creation and Completion by Jamgön Kongtrul.  This retreat will be an excellent complement to the current Tergar Vajrayana transmission.

Open to Everybody

Whether you are new to Buddhist teachings or a long-time practitioner, this event is an opportunity to deepen your connection to the Vajrayana and explore the wisdom of this path of liberation.
