Practice & Study

The Office of Practice and Study coordinates the spiritual activities of Mindrolling Lotus Garden Retreat Center. As such, the Office works closely with the Spiritual Advisors (Her Eminence Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche and Jetsün Dechen Paldrön), the lopöns and drupön (senior teachers and retreat master) and the Lotus Garden Study Group facilitators to care for the spiritual well-being and needs of Lotus Garden as well as the greater sangha worldwide.

Our office is responsible for the development and coordination of teaching programs, individual retreats, group practice sessions, shrine management as well as the activities of the Neighbors Group and Lotus Garden Study Groups around the country. We may be reached by email at practiceandstudy@lotusgardens.org.
