The Three Yanas – Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana – encompass the entire Buddhist path from the Four Noble Truths to the Sacred World of the Vajrayana.Rinpoche likens NSS to our community’s “Thanksgiving,” a time to celebrate the Buddhadharma through the Three Wisdoms of listening, contemplating, and meditating. NSS takes place outdoors under a large tent on the grounds of our center in Ward, CO, where a schedule of meditation, teachings, and social interaction increases our appreciation of the great fortune to gather as a sangha and study the teachings.
