ZaChoeje Rinpoche teaching

Beginning August

Emaho Book Club

Some books arrive quietly into our lives. Others feel like sitting beside a wise and compassionate teacher.

An invitation

This August, Emaho Foundation warmly invites you to join our new monthly Book Club as we journey together through Glorious, Precious: A Handbook for Guru Yoga Practice by ZaChoeje Rinpoche.

Written with warmth, clarity, humor, and deep spiritual insight, Glorious, Precious opens the heart of Guru Yoga in a way that feels both accessible and profoundly sacred. Rather than presenting distant philosophy, Rinpoche gently guides us into the living relationship between devotion, wisdom, compassion, and the awakening already present within our own minds.

Whether you are completely new to Tibetan Buddhism or have practiced for many years, this book offers something rare — teachings that feel intimate, practical, joyful, and alive.

How we gather

Each month before tsok, our sangha will gather to reflect on selected passages, share insights, ask questions, and deepen our understanding together in community.

Moderator Melissa Smith notes that these evenings are not only academic discussions, but opportunities to explore how the Dharma genuinely transforms our everyday lives.
