Explore of the beginnings of the Chöd teachings and practice through a look at the lives and stories of the founders Machig Labdron and Padampa Sangye

The practice of Chöd has been cherished by all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism from the time it arose in Tibet to its transmission to the west today. This Earth Day we will look at how these technologies came together in the mindstream of Padampa Sangye and Machig Labdron. Delving into their life stories, we hope to connect to the roots of the practice through their legends, upbringing, realization, and teaching.
Join us to connect with these two powerful teachers.
