Following is the information we currently have about our upcoming in-person Spring retreat.
The DTO’s spring retreat at Mariandale is coming very soon! This is a wonderful opportunity to meet and practice with old friends as well as meet new fellow seekers.
We also are looking forward to seeing some of our TBI students who may be new to the sangha. The Buddhist Institute (TBI) is an outreach of the Dharma Teacher Order and is in its inaugural year offering the Dharma Studies Course in an online-only format.
The schedule for the retreat is now available.
