Ligmincha’s New Land

A Slideshow of Photographs From Rangeley, Maine

In late July, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche taught a special weekend retreat in Rangeley, Maine. Ligmincha Institute is very honored to have received 10 acres of land in Rangeley via a recent, generous donation. The weekend event began as  Rinpoche led a ritual blessing of the new land, including the raising of prayer flags, and it continued at the Rangeley Inn with Rinpoche's teachings on "Healing Through Love and Wisdom" (the practice of Sherap Chamma).

The town of Rangeley, bordering Rangeley Lake, is a popular vacation destination in both the summer and winter months, and with this generous donation Ligmincha is now able to bring retreats to the northeastern United States. The beautiful property, which hosts trees and meadows, is approximately 2.5 hours by car from Portland, Maine; 8.5 hours from New York City; and 4.5 hours from Montreal.

Elizabeth Jackson took these beautiful photographs of the event, which we share with you now. Click on a photograph to start the slideshow.
