Bodhicitta Sangha

At the retreat center of Pukang Monastery, fortunate students begin by studying the “mind training” teachings with a qualified spiritual guide, a necessary condition for the spiritual path. Having used these teachings to develop renunciation and bodhichitta, they then move on to a course of practice based on the tradition of Okemin Orgyen Mindroling Monastery. Emphasizing the vast teachings of the Collected Tantras and the profound teachings of the Collected Sadhanas, students complete the practices of a number of supreme yidam deities, inclusive of the approach, accomplishment, and activity aspects of their respective practices. In reliance upon the two stages (development stage and completion stage), the short path of the Secret Mantra Vajrayana, an uninterrupted stream practice continues year in and year out.
