Teaching by Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche at Vana, December 2015

A search of equilibrium, learning and the inner journey are the heart of Vana, a Wellness Retreat in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Here we have endeavoured to bring together the traditions of wellness, medicine and Indian wisdom with creative thought, deep commitment and personalised support. Ayurveda, Sowa Rigpa and Yoga have been thoughtfully integrated, yet rooted in their individual authenticity. We are focussed on our home and source of inspiration. Learning, teaching, music, creating, exchanging ideas and deeper spiritual practice have steadily become a greater part of life at Vana. Here, we offer our prayers to nature and the great teachers that impart wisdom, seeking their support and blessings, for the strength and ability, to serve and benefit all beings. Following which, we have had the honour and privilege to learn the words of wisdom from the teachings imparted by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche.
