GREEN TARA RETREAT IN MISSOULA
Osel Shen Phen Ling, a thriving Dharma center in Missoula, requested Venerable Chodron to led a Green Tara retreat and give teachings on the practice. She kindly accepted. The sangha from the Abbey accompanied her, and we and had a wonderful weekend with our kind friends who hosted the sangha in their homes. The retreat was held at Tom’s home, a lovely, quiet, and comfortable space. All the participants were delighted to be able to spend such precious Dharma time with each other.

Ven. Tarpa and Ven. Jampel use the time to strengthen their practice
and understanding of the Dharma.
The retreatants share a vegetarian potluck lunch.

We divide into five or six groups for Dharma discussion, and folks learn about each others’ challenges and insights as Dharma practitioners.

While offering katas—scarfs—is a Tibetan custom, many Westerners enjoy doing it too.

The group radiates love and compassion after a weekend with Green Tara!
