Pith Instructions on Practice of the Kadam Masters

A retreat with the Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi 

Sunday, September 28, 2025 (Doors open at 9AM)

Way of Compassion Dharma Center, Carbondale, CO

The Kadampa Tradition, not to be confused with the New Kadampa Tradition, emerged in Tibet during the 11th century, and traces its roots to the profound teachings of the great Indian master Atisha and his foremost Tibetan disciple, Dromtönpa. Known for their sincerity, humility, and scholarship, the Kadampa Masters exemplified the integration of all the Buddha’s teachings into daily life through the practices of listening, contemplation, and meditation on the stages of the path to enlightenment.

In this day-long retreat, Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi will offer commentary on the pith instructions of the Kadampa Masters—concise, practical teachings that distill the essence of the path. These timeless instructions, grounded in clear wisdom and altruistic ideals, have profoundly influenced all schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

Our retreat will include teachings, guided prayers, meditation sessions, and group discussion, offering an opportunity to connect with these transformative practices.  A tentative schedule includes a morning session from about 10am- noon, time for a lunch break, and an afternoon session 2 – 4pm.  All are welcome to join us.
