Vipashyana through the Three Turnings of Buddhism
The Three Turnings of the Wheel of Dharma are a classification of the views and practices expressed by Shakyamuni Buddha in his forty-five years of teaching. In Vajrayana Buddhism as preserved in Tibet, we embrace each of these systems in our study and practice as complementary rather than contradictory. This retreat will prove suitable for anyone with even just a few months of practice background
