Drala Meditation Hike: McNeil Point
Sun August 12th: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM In Room(s): Off Site "...... if we open our eyes, if we open our minds, if we open our hearts, we will find that this world is a magical place. It is magical not because it tricks us or changes unexpectedly into something else, but because it can be so vividly and brilliantly."
- Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
