Here, they will have the opportunity to delve into Tibetan language, culture, history, and the fundamental principles of Buddhism and Meditation, all under the guidance of certified Meditation Masters.

Additionally, copies of travel documents, travel itinerary, and medical insurance (if applicable) are required.
