Pilgrimage Tour to Dharamsala in 2006
Namgyal Monastery Institute of Buddhist Studies in Ithaca, NY, in conjunction with Namgyal Tantric College in India, is pleased to announce their second Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage tour to Dharamsala, India from February 24 through March 17, 2006. Led by experienced monks, teachers and guides from Namgyal Monastery, this exclusive tour will focus on the Tibetan Buddhist sites in and around Dharamsala, and will include a 3-day side trip to holy Tso Pema in Rewalsar, a sacred site of the famous 7th-century Tantric guru, Padmasambhava. We will also attend the first two days of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's teachings in Dharamsala before returning home.
The tour group will be kept small (10-12 people) and will move at a slightly slower pace to facilitate a more insightful experience and allow for more personal interaction between participants, teachers and guides. Get an intimate look at Namgyal Monastery; receive teachings from high lamas and yogis; learn about Tibetan Buddhism, monastic life and the Tibetan refugee community in vibrant North India while experiencing the natural beauty of the Himalaya region. Join us for this wonderful spiritual adventure!
Cost of the tour is $3645 (includes international airfare).
