A Two-Month Series of Teachings and Retreat on Je Gampopa’s Jewel Ornament of Liberation

Lama Mark Webber will give a survey of Je Gampopa’s famous Jewel Ornament of Liberation, thereby giving out contemplations, meditations and life advice. This is designed as a practical retreat course. Gampopa’s text is one of the great masterpieces of the entire Mahayana path; clear, precise and liberating no matter which century we live in.

Those who want to attend in person retreat will have support and direction from Lama Mark. Housing options are limited so inquire early to get details if this interests you.

Options:

1) In-person classes on Galiano Island
2) In person solo retreat for up to 3 months with or without classes.
3) Online Classes

The classes can be attended in-person, by zoom, or as part of a solo retreat on Galiano Island. In person classes will be held at Namgyal Choling. Solo in person retreat on Galiano Island supported by Lama Mark for up to three months is also available with or without attending classes. For the in person option, full vaccination is required  and current provincial Covid protocols will be followed.
