Yeru Bön Center holds meditation practice on Tuesday Nights
Join us to deepen your connection to Bön, support others & engage in genuine spiritual practice
Minneapolis: Tuesdays 7pm to ~8pm | Los Angeles: Tuesdays 7pm to ~9pm
Because our individual sangha members are engaged in distinct daily practices, we do a variety of Bön meditations under a loose schedule outlined below. When Rinpoche is in town, he will usually join us in practice, offer his guidance, and may decide to change the practice focus to what is needed at a given time.
NOTE: During this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, Rinpoche has requested that we practice Sidpa Gyalmo Healing Practice often.
