How is Pundarika membership different from the Student Mandala?

Pundarika Membership gives you these benefits:

  • Access to a large library of Tsoknyi Rinpoche’s teachings recorded at Pundarika U.S. retreats. The teachings are available in both audio and video format, and audio is available for download.
  • Those who are members in good standing by November 1st of the year preceding Crestone in-person retreats will be given preferential consideration for retreat attendance, but cannot be guaranteed a space as in the past. 
  • Discounts on in-person Pundarika U.S. retreats.
  • Discounts on purchases at the Pundarika U.S. online store.

The Student Mandala acknowledges your student/teacher relationship with Tsoknyi Rinpoche. Please view Student Mandala for more information about the Student Mandala.
