Pema Osel Do Ngak Choling is Mangala Shri Bhuti's study and practice center in Vershire, Vermont. Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche's vision for Pema Osel is that it serve his own students as well as the larger Buddhist community on the East Coast.
Every year Kongtrul Rinpoche teaches the Modern Day Bodisattva Seminar, and the Dzogchen Seminar here.
Sunday sitting takes places weekly from 10 a.m. to noon, followed by live web streaming of the LINK from noon to 1. We also have monthly work and practice weekends and host live streaming of Rinpoche's programs in Colorado.
Pema Osel Do Ngak Choling sits in a peaceful, secluded area of hills and valley near the Connecticut River, which forms the border between Vermont and New Hampshire. We are a 30 minute drive from Hanover, New Hampshire, three hours from Boston, and five hours from New York City.
