Retreat and Tara Initiation with Khandro-la

Registrations Open!

JUNE 29 – JULY 3

We are so fortunate that Khandro Kunga Bhuma, fondly known as Khandro-la, has agreed to give teachings—in a retreat setting, on the unification of wisdom and compassion—and a Tara initiation.

“Although Khandro-la, the young Tibetan lady, has been publicly recognized as an oracle, she is much more than that. She is beyond that; she is beyond all of us.”

—Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Don't delay in registering

In order to host this event and have enough room for all participants, Land of Medicine Buddha is hiring a large marquee, which will hold 200 chairs and a stage. Sponsorship levels of $500 – $1000+ will have premium reserved seating. Other seats will be first-come, first-served at the start of the retreat. We request you keep your seat for the duration of the events.

If you are planning to stay at Land of Medicine Buddha for the retreat, we recommend booking your accommodation (on the event registration page) as soon as possible. Onsite accommodation is limited and we are expecting to book out quickly.

Organizing an event of this size requires a lot of planning and logistical challenges. Registering early enables us to better be able to run this event smoothly and ensure there is enough food, water, chairs, and shuttle buses for everyone to be comfortable.

About Khandro-la

Described as a living embodiment of the Bodhisattva ideal, Khandro Kunga Bhuma is truly an inspiration. Although she received little formal education or training, she was recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as a realized practitioner and an oracle of the Tibetan people.

Khandro-la's life story is not linear. It is filled with visions and prophecies that often extend beyond our understanding. As a young woman, she received a vision to leave her homeland of Tibet and head to Nepal. Upon arriving in Nepal, she met a man who told her that she must meet with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. After great hardship, including extreme health challenges, she finally met with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and began to serve in her current role as oracle and dharma teacher.

Khandro-la believes that the essence of life is to realize bodhichitta and emptiness. In turn, her sole focus is on helping beings achieve indestructible faith in these two. In the end, she says that If she cannot help people realize bodhichitta and emptiness, meeting with her is just a waste of time.

“People try spiritually to achieve realization. The true realization is to achieve a kind heart. Other than that, there is nothing really that is useful.”

— Khandro Kunga Bhuma
