Khentrul Lodrö T’hayé. Rinpoche of Katog Choling

Khentrul Rinpoche returns to teach one more weekend on ‘Taming the Wild Horse of the Mind’, a continuation of teachings delivered in the area in 2019.

Learn how to use love, equanimity, compassion and wisdom to train our minds, and also learn how to transform suffering so that we can live free and with joy.

All are welcome, even if you didn’t attend earlier teachings on the subject. 

Please register for this event – in 2019, the space was at capacity, and organisers had a long waiting list at Marvell Hall. If you register, your place will be saved. Please cancel your registration if you find you are unable to attend. Students will benefit the most by attending the whole weekend and not coming and going.

Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 of February, 10am to 12noon and 2pm to 5pm. Both days are at Marvell Hall, 37 Marvell St, Byron Bay, New South Wales.

This is a free event sponsored by Rinpoche’s students, but you must register: https://katog.org/product/taming-the-wild-horse-of-the-mind/.
