SUMMARY:Nectar of the Path Practice
DESCRIPTION:Nectar of the Path Practice    \nSundays 8 – 8:45 am\nOnline (NOT the BDC zoom link)     \nNectar of the Path practice is hosted by the Tergar Bozeman Group. \nWhat is this practice about? This practice “Nectar of the Path” was written by Mingyur Rinpoche to be practiced by any of his students however experienced they might be. “Nectar” signifies a distillation of something very precious and nourishing. Nectar of the Path is a complete practice encompassing all of the essential aspects of a traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice. In this practice we mix contemplation and meditation\, alternating periods of each and chanting in Tibetan and some visualization. \nIf you are interested in joining this practice group\, please send an email to bozemantergarsmd@gmail.com  and tell us your interest\, how you learned about us\, if you are new to Nectar or have experience with the practice…. Information on the practice\, the practice liturgy and the zoom link will be sent to you.
