White Tara Empowerment and Teachings
With Younge Khachab Rinpoche
December 5 - 6, 2026
Join Younge Khachab Rinpoche in North Bend, Oregon, for a weekend of teachings and practice exploring White Tara and the foundations of Mahamudra and Dzogchen meditation.
White Tara is a female Buddha associated with compassion, healing, and longevity. Her practice helps us cultivate the conditions for a long and meaningful life, not simply for our own benefit, but so we can continue developing wisdom and compassion for the benefit of others.
During the weekend, Rinpoche will offer the White Tara empowerment and introduce the foundational principles of Mahamudra and Dzogchen meditation. These teachings guide us toward recognizing the nature of mind and learning how to return to that recognition through practice.
Whether you are new to Tibetan Buddhism or have practiced for many years, this weekend offers an opportunity to receive authentic instruction, deepen your meditation, and connect with a living lineage of practice.
