THE ABBEY SANGHA VISIT MISSOULA

Osel Shen Phen Ling Dharma center requested Venerable Chodron to come to Missoula and teach on the Two Truths. Osel Shen Phen Ling has a long a history of friendship and connection to Venerable Chodron and the Abbey community.

The other sangha members joined Venerable Chodron for the weekend event to make a deeper connection to the Missoula Buddhist community.

All their housing, food, and transportation needs were taken care of by the Osel Shen Phen Ling Dharma friends. Many new friendships were made and the teachings were well attended. Sharing the Dharma with the Missoula commmunity feels like the beginning a new tradition.


The weekend began with a public talk at the local Missoula Chamber of Commerce.

Kate, one of the sangha hosts, poses with Venerable Tarpa during a beautiful walk in a cottonwood grove by the Clark Fork River.


Venerable Tarpa and Venerable Jampel share some Dharma insights with Yeshe, a Buddhist practitioner from Arlee, Montana.

The teachings on the Two Truths brought over 25 people into Tom Woodbury’s (third from left) cozy Dharma living room.

Looking at the crazy things our minds think brings a lot of laughter from the group. Having a sense of humor at one’s own bad habits is a great Dharma antidote.


The happy and inspired group poses before we all journey home.
