PROGRAMS

Dr. Lye offers a wide range of programs at Urban Dharma North Carolina in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. These programs are often live-streamed on Facebook or YouTube and thus available to an audience beyond those local to Asheville. When not in-residence in Asheville, Dr. Lye is probably offering retreat programs or leading pilgrimages in other places of the Americas or in Asia. On this page, we will update you on upcoming opportunities to join Dr. Lye and to meet others who are part of the Drikung Dharmakirti community. At the bottom of this page under RECENTLY, you can also see some of the past programs that Dr. Lye has offered.

Since the start of the Covid19 pandemic, Dr. Lye—like many other Dharma teachers—has started offering various programs via Zoom, Facebook, and YouTube. Some of these programs are offered in collaboration with other centers and groups. Please check for details of these programs in the calendar below.

Upcoming Retreats

Drikung Dharmakirti International Sangha (DDIS) is organizing a retreat in Costa Rica based on the book: The Great Teachings to the Assembly.
This retreat program lead by Dr. Lye will happen towards the end of February 2022 in Costa Rica for approximately 7 days. It will be anchored on two main elements:
(1) Teachings based on The Great Teachings to the Assembly.
(2) Group & individual meditation with breath as the object (using the Shravasti Meditation approach).
