Dear Vajra Family,
We cordially invite you to the Sangha Retreat Vienna 2017!
We wish to meet in honor of our teacher Chögyal Namkhai Norbu and deepen our understanding and capacity together, showing the strengths of the community of his students. With heartfelt gratitude for Rinpoche’s trireless teaching activity for the benefit of all beings!
As we need to rent a new – beautiful and suitable – retreat venue, we need to know how many people would like to participate. If you plan to come and have not yet registered for the alternative event, please do so by Sunday July 23rd by sending a message to [email protected]. Thank you!
Looking forward to welcome you in Vienna!
