✨ Loving Life as it Is — Retreat with Chakung Jigme Wangdrak Rinpoche ✨

Join us at Pema Osel Ling for a special weekend retreat with Chakung Jigme Wangdrak Rinpoche, teaching from his book Loving Life as it Is: A Buddhist Guide to Ultimate Happiness.

Through clear and practical teachings drawn from the Dudjom Tersar lineage, Rinpoche will share methods for transforming the challenges of everyday life into the path of awakening. Rather than avoiding difficulties, we learn how suffering and happiness alike can deepen courage, compassion, and wisdom.

Topics will include:
• Taking suffering and happiness as the path
• Letting go of self-grasping
• Meeting inner and outer obstacles with stability
• Cultivating contentment, patience, and gratitude

📅 March 21–22, 2026
📍 Pema Osel Ling

Open to practitioners of all levels.

Rinpoche studied under Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok at Larung Gar and received profound Dzogchen transmissions from masters including Dakini Kunzang Wangmo. Now based in the Bay Area, he is the founder of the Abhaya Fellowship, a Dharma community rooted in the Dudjom Tersar lineage.

📖 Loving Life as it Is offers practical Buddhist wisdom for meeting life’s chaos and challenges with clarity, courage, and compassion — helping us discover genuine happiness in the midst of everyday experience.
