Theg-Chog Norbu'i Ga-Dzong - AZ
Karma Kamtsang Dhama Centre
Spring Seminar 2008 in Sedona

Generosity is a perfection to achieve
No charge - Donation welcome

Lama Norbu Repa is a yogi formally trained in the Himalayas during more than 25 years by eminent masters in the Karma Kamtsang tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
Born in Europe, Lama Norbu teaches in a down-to-earth, direct and friendly approach, so rare to find in the west taking us to see Buddhism as a most valid and practical science of the mind rather than as a dogmatic religion, a concept that is little valued today.

Contact: Chris RYLEY (928) 203-4650

April 11th, General Talk: "You or me? ... And what about the others?"
