Last year, our Thai sangha who wished to benefit all sentient beings in memory of their beloved late King had requested Kyabgon Phakchok Rinpoche for a Yogi Ordination and Samaya training to deepen their spiritual practice.
Auspiciously this Guru Rinpoche day, Rinpoche in finding the training to have been extremely beneficial to the Sangha, has kindly opened the Yogi Ordination and Samaya Training to the International Sangha this coming February 1-13, 2018 at Asura Cave, Nepal.
Students who have taken on the yogi ordination will be taught to observe on the 14 Root Samaya Vows and the Five Precepts as part of the program. This program is most suitable for students who would like to deepen their spiritual practice and are ready to commit and observe the samayas.
