Offering to Tempa Dukte Lama

We invite you to make an offering to Olmo Ling founder and resident teacher Tempa Lama in recognition of the teachings that he is offering. Tempa Lama has dedicated his life to preserving the ancient Bon wisdom teachings and making them available and accessible in the West. He is offering a free weekly program with meditation, Chod practice, and an evening talk at Olmo Ling, regular retreats and teachings, individual guidance and meditation instruction, as well as extensive work on Bon translations and books to support Western practitioners.

Tempa Lama’s vision includes offering long-term training to senior students so that they can study the Bon teachings in-depth and learn traditional Bon rituals. This can in turn benefit many beings and help the Bon teachings take root in the West.

We are very grateful to be able to support Tempa Lama with your generosity. Thank you!
