Vajra Vidya

Khenpo Lobzang's teachings were informative, relatable and well expressed. Even though I am not formally a Tibetan Buddhist, I would highly recommend attending one of these offered retreats. I particularly appreciated Khenpo's non-dual perspective and reminders. He also offered interesting personal stories related to the spiritual path.

Khenpo Lobzang is a most exceptional teacher and for this retreat he was most brilliant. The teachings covered a wide expanse of texts and the Q&A sessions were illuminating. The Crestone area is also a great place to hang out, walk, and reflect. The meals, lodging, and ambiance at the center felt like home.

if you're interested in a true retreat space for Dharma practice, I can't recommend Vajra Vidya highly enough. The accommodations are clean, comfortable, beautiful, and simple. The food is high quality, thoughtfully prepared vegetarian fare. And the staff, themselves mature practitioners and teachers, are supportive of people's needs.

All of that, plus the Khenpos, who are senior Kagyu meditation masters and profound teachers, makes Vajra Vidya a rare and powerful retreat environment for practitioners of any level.

My first remote retreat, and it was a deeply profound experience! The stream was smooth, Khenpo-la answered my questions, and the sangha couldn't have been more welcoming. I've already signed up for the next one in person—can't wait!

Thrangu Rinpoche’s presence is felt in the midst of these Teachings and Meditation practices. The technical points are all good, yes: timely emails, receipt of materials, good internet connection. What matters most, though, is clear instruction, kind encouragement, and the transmission of Rinpoche’s essence. I felt almost as uplifted as when I had the good fortune to attend His Teachings in person.
