Yidam Practice: From Complexity to Intimacy with Lama Yeshe Chödrön – Half-Day + Potluck Lunch

October 5, 2025, 9:00 am - 1:30 pm

Hybrid Event

Teacher: Lama Karma Yeshe Chodron

We are pleased to welcome Lama Karma Yeshe Chödrön of Prajna Fire as a guest teacher this week, who will be teaching on moving from complexity to intimacy with Yidam practice.

With its richness of imagery and detail, Yidam practice can appear mysterious and otherworldly — at once alluring and daunting. This talk offers a shift of perspective, viewing that very complexity as an invitation to intimacy with our own direct experience. When we engage imagery, mantra, and symbolism as an array of instruments at our disposal, yidam practice becomes a vivid exploration of mind’s sacred creativity, supporting our path to embodying the true nature of mind.

Please join us for a potluck at the noon break!

Lama Karma Yeshe Chödrön is a scholar, teacher, and translator in the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, and a long-term student of Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche. Before studying Buddhism, she completed graduate degrees in biology and law, and worked as a litigator in Miami and Silicon Valley.

Since 2005, she has taught and translated Dharma texts and oral teachings from Tibetan to English for the Rigpe Dorje Institute for International Students at Pullahari Monastery in Nepal. Yeshe successfully completed the traditional Kagyu lineage three-year cloistered retreat at Vajra Vidya Retreat Center in Crestone, Colorado in 2016, under the auspices of Kyabje Thrangu Rinpoche. She then co-founded Prajna Fire, an online global community aimed at sharing traditional methods for transmitting experiential understanding of Buddhadharma with Western students.
