Please join us for a teaching on Mindfulness and Compassion, given by David H. Koons. A York County native, David has been interested in Tibetan Buddhism for over 45 years, and is affiliated with the Drikung Kagyu lineage. He has taken two India pilgrimages to the holy sites of the Buddha, taken his refuge and bodhisattva vows from H.H. Chetsang Rinpoche, and has received teachings from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, H.E. Garchen Rinpoche, and many other Tibetan teachers. Since 1986, he has been a student of Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche, retired Abbott of the Drikung Kagyu lineage in North America. Khenchen is the author of more than ten books, and a prolific translator of meditation texts. Khenchen has asked David to share teachings of Buddhist principles as a benefit to Westerners to use in our daily lives. Cost is a love offering.
