Dharma Drive-In

Sunisa has curated a series of Tibetan Buddhist documentaries to deepen our collective understanding of the rich tradition we are part of. Drawing from across the Tibetan Buddhist schools — not only our own Nyingma lineage — these films offer a window into the living heart of the dharma. We hope they will also be joyful occasions to be together as a community over the summer months.

Popcorn will be provided. Those who wish are warmly invited to stay afterward for an informal conversation about the film. Please feel free to bring your favorite snacks and beverages, as well as blankets, pillows, or whatever makes the evening cozy and comfortable for you.

We are delighted to share the full lineup for this summer's Dharma Drive-Ins here.

to Mar 14

Residential Retreat at Menla, NY: 4 Maras, 4 Feasts

Join us Thursday through Sunday for the next part of the Path of Chod Healing. The subject is 4 Maras, 4 Feasts.

What troubles us in these times? Machig taught in the 12th century that demons exist inside as our neuroses. This 4-day retreat will be a deep-dive into our neurotic habits. We will look at the ways we suffer as taught on the Buddhist path– a classic way of facing-the-truth with courage and determination. Then we will discuss the 4 Feasts, which are ways to cut through suffering.

This retreat includes 4 Chod ceremonies. It is open to everyone who feels drawn to it. In exciting news, Menla is co-sponsoring Heart Sangha’s retreat.
