 The Awakened State with Dawa Tarchin Phillips
April 1-2, Sat-Sun, 9am-1pm
Dharma practice culminates in the attainment of Buddha the awakened state. More than
mythology, this state of mature insight into the nature of reality and expansive benefit to self and
others needs to be approached through study, contemplation and practice if one wishes to
emulate the example of the Buddha and his vast achievements.

Check out his website here and his acceptance speech here. Some of you will remember that he performed on the piano at a Bodhi Path fundraiser at the Lobero in 2016.
