The Road Trip
The Road Trip
I am taking a road trip to the Colorado Rockies soon. If anyone can recommend some Nyingma centers in Colorado or Kansas, etc (I will be coming in form the East), I would greatly appreciate it, as it would be nice to possibly visit some on these places on my trip (even if just to see). Thanks! Kevin
P.S. Any other destination recommendations I am open to too. This will be my first time in Colorado. I have always wanted to see the Rockies.
This trip is more about visiting CO than it is Dharma. I just figure it would be remiss of me not to stop in since CO is such a geat place for Dharma.

Re: Colorado Nyingma Centers
Yes, I've spent a fair amount of time in Crestone. There's not much going on unless you are at a retreat or teaching, but you can see stupas and may meet some fellow practitioners. It's just good to put it on your personal map, makes it easy to return for serious practice. The San Luis Valley is an extraordinary place on this earth.

It sounds really nice. I will definitely be visiting it. I am also looking forward to seeing the stupas.passel wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 12:17 am Yes, I've spent a fair amount of time in Crestone.

Here is one near Crestone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crestone, ... horten.JPG
Hopefully soon I will be uploading my own photos of them.
And thank you for the Orgyen Khandro Ling recommendation. Again, I will just be stopping by these places. It is more sightseeing than anything (maybe a minor pilgramage, haha).

Ill probably stop in Wichita for a day or two too. If I run into Sam and Dean, I might be able to gank some demons.

TM is a good place to do solo retreat if you can afford it. Little cabins on the side of the mountain.

Re: Colorado Nyingma Centers
I am sure it holds tremendous blessings. In a video Lama Tsultrim explained that the gonpa is built based on a vision she had with Vimalamitra and a dream, etc.

There's also a nice stupa devoted to Nyala Pema Duddul that was consecrated by ChNN.

Re: Colorado Nyingma Centers
Well it is fitting then for Lama Tsultrim, of course. Colorado tomorrow. I am looking over some things now to see if I should go North first to Boulder or down to Pagosa Springs first. It will be an extra days drive to Pagosa Springs.

Re: Colorado Nyingma Centers
I am still going to visit Pagosa Springs first.
