The board of Dzochen Shri Singha Idaho regrets to inform the local Dharma community that we’re closing the doors of our Latah location. After five years in this location, we’ve decided to reduce expenses and allow for new opportunities to arise. There’s an upside of accepting impermanence and by embracing this change, it is our goal to keep bringing the Dzogchen teachings to the community.

We will still be meeting for group practice at 3 Shapes Aikido in the north end and hosting other teachings in various locations. We will be updating you through this newsletter and our dzogchenidaho.org web site. Thank you to everyone who has supported us in the past and we invite you to join us as we move on to new horizons.

From an early age he lived, trained, and studied with great Tibetan Buddhist Masters such as Khenchen Thupten Ozer Rinpoche, Khenpo Konchok Monlam Rinpoche, and Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche. He devotes his life to traveling around the world to support local Dharma centers around the world.

Kunchok is an authorized Upasaka Bodhisattva, or Dharma Teacher in the Dzogchen Lineage of the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

While all beings seek true and lasting happiness, they often look for it by placing false hopes and fears in temporary circumstances like love affairs, careers, reputation, and material gain. In fact, authentic happiness depends on one thing and one thing only—your single present moment thinking. Join Upasaka Bodhisattva Sean D. Young for a contemplative, comparative, and experiential approach to the core teachings of Buddhism.

Course begins Monday September 28th 7:30 pm
