Tibetan Buddhist teacher to visit White Salmon

WHITE SALMON — On July 25-28, Gyalten Khen Rinpoche, abbot of Lama Gaun Monastery in Nepal, is coming to teach at Awakening Winds Home Temple in White Salmon.

The visit will begin on Saturday, July 25, with a Chittamani Green Tara Empowerment, a traditional Buddhist initiation connected to Tara, who is “often called upon by practitioners seeking courage, wisdom, and the ability to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity,” said a press release.

The White Salmon program is designed as an introduction, offering participants an opportunity to learn foundational principles directly from a teacher trained within an unbroken lineage of Tibetan Buddhist practice.

The event is hosted by Awakening Winds Home Temple, a local contemplative center dedicated to meditation, personal transformation, and the cultivation of wisdom and compassion.
