Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism
‘Without knowing anything, there can be no practice. Our study and practice will be like a lamp which illuminates the darkness, like the sun rising to light the morning.’ – Sang-ngag Rinpoche
The institute offers a rare opportunity for theoretical and meditation training in all levels of the Buddhist tradition.
