SUMMARY:Sunday Meditation with Jetsunma Candace Cole
DESCRIPTION:When Rinpoche is away teaching\, Candace will lead the Sunday Meditations (on zoom also) from 10am to noon.  Each session will start with meditation instruction and practice\, followed by Lam Rim teaching and analytical meditation. \n\n\n\nJetsunma Candace Cole was first drawn to begin Buddhist studies in the early1980’s\, while practicing as a family physician on Vancouver Island\, BC.  Through the ensuing years of practice and retreat Candace has received Vajrayana instruction from masters of the main schools of Tibetan Buddhism as well as from those of the Theravada and Zen traditions.  \n\n\n\nSince 1998 Candace has practiced under the guidance of her Root Guru Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche.
