Salmon Falls Sangha hosts and supports teachers from several related Tibetan Buddhist lineages. We offer meditation instruction, and occasional discussion series on contemporary topics including death and dying, mind training, healing with music, and earth-honoring consciousness.
When conditions are favorable we host visiting teachers and also occasionally offer group discussion series... recorded teachings, videotapes and commentaries followed by sitting meditation.
We are indebted to our mentors and lineage teachers, particularly the Vidyadhara Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche of the Karma Kagyu/Nyingma lineages and H.H. Chetsang Rinpoche, and Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche of the Drikung Kagyu Buddhist lineage... who have provided much kindness and guidance along the way.
All practitioners are welcome to share in their wish for our true and unconditioned happiness.
Feel free to contact Ngakpa K. Jigme Tonpa (Michael Cerulli Billingsley, M.A. Clinical Psychology) for meditation instruction, consultation on issues of practice & Buddhist life, and end of life support. Specialised ngakpa services (ie. marriages, astrological counseling with a Buddhist foundation, family & couples advice/support during transitions) can be arranged on the basis of exchange - labour, fee, donation, etc.
