Saturday & Sunday July 22-23, 2000
   10 AM - 5 PM
95 Robinwood in Little Rock

The viewpoint of Great Perfection Dzogchen and the complementary meditation practices of the Ngondro Foundations are central and unifying practices in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. These were presented by Lama Yeshe Wangmo through a series of images, interpretations, and experiential exercises that were suitable for beginners and advanced.

Breaktime! Six pots of coffee were consumed, although
they certainly weren't needed to keep energy levels
high. The EBS on-site book store did a booming business
also during break.

Lama gifts at the end of a retreat. It is hard to tell who has more fun -- the teacher or the students. Here Lama Wangmo gets her very own Arkansas Razorback!

A crystal dorje (left) will be much prized by the teacher. Our gracious hosts were not forgotten either. Opening their beautiful home to our weekend retreat was much appreciated and we shall never forget it. Oh, yes, they got gifts too!!!
