- What is Dāna?
Teachers who freely give teachings of awakening (Dharma) ensure that finances will not restrict who can attend their classes. Each time someone receives a gift of valuable teachings, it is an opportunity to consciously practice generosity. Gifts of money and other means of support express gratitude, help sustain the teachers, and assist the survival of the teaching. People giving Dāna decide the kind and amount of Dāna according to their level of appreciation and financial means. Gifts of Dāna are also potent guestures of personal significance that integrate mind, body, heart, and will in establishing the intention to make the most of a significant learning opportunity that could potentially produce great benefit to oneself and to others.
May all Beings guide themselves to Inner Liberation and Enlightenment.
Lama Lodro is currently on a private Sabbatical.

- ANAPANA-SATI (Breath Mindfulness) for Mental Clarity and Better Memory
Focused meditation in which the meditator concentrates attention on the natural and uncontrolled movement of the breath. Regular practice of Ananpana-sati can help reduce mental dullness, increase mental clarity, enhance cognition, and improve memory.
Anapana-sati is one of the classic techniques of Satipatthãna. In the Satipatthãna Sutta, the Buddha said: This is the direct path for the purification of beings, for the down-going of grief and suffering, for the realization of the Inner Peace and Great Bliss that is Nibbana (Nirvana). - MEDICINE QI GONG (Energy Attainment) for HEALTH, HEALING, and CALMING
Special exercises developed in the Traditional Chinese Medicine system (TCM) for cleansing, strengthening, and nourishing the Energy Body and the major organs of the Physical Body.
Medicine Qi Gong uses gentle physical movements, visualizations, sound, and focused breathing. All the exercises can be done standing, sitting, or reclining.
