We're delighted that registration is now open for the upcoming hybrid program with beloved Tergar Lama, Khenpo Kunga.

Please join us in person in Minneapolis, MN, or online on January 10-11, 2026.

Through teachings and stories, Khenpo Kunga will illuminate Yeshe Tsogyal’s life and realization, her connection to Mingyur Rinpoche and profound relationship with Guru Padmasambhava. Her example inspires our own journey of practice, devotion, and insight, which continues to guide practitioners of every background toward awakening.

During this special weekend, Khenpo Kunga will offer the reading transmission (lung) for The Concentrated Essence: A Sadhana of Yeshe Tsogyal by Dudjom Rinpoche, Prayer to Yeshe Tsogyal by Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro, and The Perfectly Clear Path to Liberation: The Foundational Practice Liturgy of Dorje Drolö, from The Heart Essence of the Primordial Secret by Khenpo Karma Ratna

About Yeshe Tsogyal
Yeshe Tsogyal, the luminous wisdom dakini and heart disciple of Guru Padmasambhava, is revered as the Mother of Tibetan Buddhism and the source of many of Guru Rinpoche’s most profound treasure teachings. Through her realization and compassion, the Vajrayana path continues to offer methods for awakening within everyday life.
