Join us to clean the center in preparation for Chhoje Rinpoche’s return. As always, we’d love to see you and are grateful for your help! We need all hands on deck for this cleaning day — we will need to scrub every nook and cranny to prepare for our Lama’s return.

The Merit of Cleaning

Chhoje Rinpoche reminds us that having the right motivation–a giving mind–when volunteering to clean a space where teachings will be given and received is a practice of generosity from the heart. As a result, people practicing in this way, with a mind of generosity, receive great merit. We learned that the practice of cleaning the meditation center is truly a selfless offering and a way to purify body, speech, and mind.

Having a clean space to host the teacher and the teachings shows how much we value the profundity of the teachings. In such a space, beings are welcomed to receive the teachings appropriately.

The connection to the teacher and to the Dharma made by this service is very powerful. We are doing a service for every being by supporting the teachings, and particularly everyone who comes to PMC to learn about Dharma!

We are excited to announce that Chhoje Rinpoche will be returning to Denver in February 2019!

Rinpoche will be leading a five-day intensive meditation retreat starting Wednesday, February 13 through the morning of Monday, February 18, 2019. Although the schedule has not yet been defined, please anticipate practice starting at 7:00 a.m. each day and running to 8:00 p.m. We anticipate that each day might begin with early morning practice, a break for silent breakfast, morning practice, silent lunch, afternoon practice, silent dinner, and evening practice. If you plan to attend, please anticipate this kind of a “closed” container for each day.

Rinpoche has requested that everyone who attends any part of the retreat maintain silence and not look at computers or phones for its duration. Additionally, the start times for each session must be respected.

It is Rinpoche’s request that we eat meals together.  We will be able to accommodate vegetarian meals. However, accommodations to other dietary restrictions cannot be made. Please plan to accommodate your needs by bringing your own food to eat during meals.

• Requested offering for the full retreat is $250.00 per person.
• Requested offering for three meals and tea for the full retreat is $75.00 per person.

Please add the “Meal Option” to your cart when you check out online if you plan to eat meals provided by the volunteers at the center.  You will see this option under “You may also be interested in…”   Click on ADD to your CART at checkout.

This retreat will be self-staffed and all participants will be asked to contribute to sustaining the container by participating in table set-up, meal prep, meal cleanup, etc.
