Tashi delek, :)

Thanks for your interest in Bon centers within Cananda.
Hope the undermantioned links e.g. informations would be helpfull for you.

H.E. The 7th Terton Kundrol Rinpoche , does belong to New Bon or Bon Sarma. They do Tara etc. but also do they venerate Guru Rinpoche.

So here one can speak first about the mix of Buddhism with Bon and vice versa. This lineage is very interesting for it is that what everybody thinks about Bon namely that it took over many Buddhist teachings. Well this happened here in that Bon Sarma lineage.

H.E. the 7th Terton Kundröl Rinpoche is the 7th incarnation of the great Kundröl Jatson Nyingpo of Tibet. Kundröl Jatson Nyingpo was a great tertön (revealer of hidden treasures) and founder of the great seat of learning Mongyal Monastery in Tibet. Since the birth of the first Kundröl Rinpoche in A.D. 1700, reincarnations of the rinpoche ("precious one") have appeared successively thereafter to uphold the wheel of the compassionate teachings of Bön for the benefit of all sentient beings. We welcome you to join us in receiving the blessings of Rinpoche's presence! Watch for updates here on this site, or send us an email and we will add you to our mailing list.

I will be organizing a teaching in Toronto in the summer of 2013 for Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche and in the fall of 2013 for H.E. Kundrol Rinpoche. If you would like to be contacted with updates regarding these events please send me a pm and I will add you to my email list.

Thanks,

Tashi delek,

Maybe New York is an option for you ?
https://www.bonshenling.org/

Otherwise you could ask Tog Den Won Po Chongtul Rinpoche, to come for teachings to Toronto.
Guess Rinpoche would like that.
Toronto - New York city is "only" 780 Km. Option to visit Bön Shen Ling maybe ?

They have the 6 Lamps retreat a very nice one.

Tashi delek KS,

Thanks for your reply.

A question:

- Did you have read / discussed before going to New York in May 2018, the 6 Lamps form Jean Luc Achard or from John Reynolds or from any other Bönpo?
- What are you doing after the upcoming retreat in NY, with the knowledge of the 6 Lamps ?
- is it for you a problem to be informed by books etc. regarding the 6 Lamps, before you go to the actual retreat ?

2, once I finish the retreat, well I guess I will continue practicing it
3, No, I don't have a problem to read a book before the retreat, I am quite open minded ..... I think
