Description
Buddhist practitioners receive many teachings but have few opportunities to work individually with a teacher. For this reason Ligmincha Poland organizes an individual program with instructor Jacek Trzebuniak.
The program is intended both for people practicing in the Tibetan Bon tradition and for new people who have not had contact with Buddhism. The program is also open to people practicing in other Buddhist schools or other spiritual traditions. Because progam is individualized, the program can be tailored to a person’s level and needs.
