This summer’s course will present Mahamudra from a unique perspective and should be of interest even to those who have previously studied Ocean of Definitive Meaning with Ponlop Rinpoche at Nitartha’s Summer Institute.

Join us for this precious opportunity to learn directly from a genuine Mahamudra master.

The 2024 Summer Institute will also offer three levels of Mahamudra courses based on the Ocean of Definitive Meaning: Mahamudra Shamatha and Mahamudra Vipashyana-II, taught by Acharya Lama Tenpa Gyaltsen, and Mahamudra Vipashyana-I taught by Mira Lee Worley and Dr. Sandra Roscoe.
Enjoy a full summer of Mahamudra and learn how the study of Buddhist philosophy enriches our meditation, and vice versa! 

One full shedra level (Sessions 1, 2 and 3) is included in your Summer Institute tuition, regardless of whether you register for one, two or all three Summer Institute sessions. All shedra classes will be recorded for viewing asynchronously through our Online Campus (Moodle).

Shedra Level 1: Mind and Its World I & II and Clear Thinking

Shedra Level 2: Madhyamaka Philosophical Tradition
