PemaKhandro_Chod_3Fear as a Path to Liberation
Dakini Day Chod – Online
     Chod is a meditation method through meeting fear and neurosis with compassion and skill. 
This is a Tibetan meditation which is a potent, dynamic practice for cutting through fear and facing death. It is a practice of healing through ultimate compassion. The practice is the Dzogchen Chod, known as Khandro Geykyang, the Laugher of the Dakinis, the concise version. Rinpoche will lead the practice and discuss its meaning. This has been a monthly practice in Virginia for the last two years on Dakini Day, but in-person Chod practices are cancelled and Pema Khandro Rinpoche will now be offering Chod practice online for the first time, in order to support Vajrayana practitioners during the worldwide pandemic.
Donations Welcome ~ No one turned away for lack of funds
