Integrating Bodhicitta into Daily Life
Summer Retreat with Dawa Tarchin Phillips
June 25-29 (Wed 7:00pm-Sun 12:pm) 2025
Join us for an online retreat with Dawa Tarchin Phillips, hosted by the Santa Barbara Bodhi Path Center, focused on Integrating Bodhicitta into Daily Life: Cultivating Compassion and Wisdom [in Action]. In alignment with the Bodhi Path curriculum, this retreat will offer practical guidance on deepening your understanding and experience of Bodhicitta—the awakened heart-mind—through meditation, reflection, and daily-life application.
Dawa Tarchin Phillips is the resident teacher of Bodhi Path Santa Barbara. Having completed two three-year meditation retreats within the Vajrayana and Mahayana tradition, he is a masterful Dharma teacher, global spiritual leader and well-known mindfulness and meditation expert. During the retreat, Dawa will guide participants in cultivating genuine compassion and clear insight, bridging classical Mahayana teachings with modern challenges to support a path of authentic inner transformation and benefit to others.
*Although Dawa will be teaching online, we encourage local participants to join us at the center, at La Cumbre Plaza, 3815 State Street Suite G129, which will remain open throughout the retreat to offer the enriching support of practicing together with sangha.
Partial scholarships are available on a first come basis. Please contact sb@bodhipath.org with your interest, commitment, and financial need.
It will be very helpful to our planning if you register before June 20. Registration closes on June 23.

The Santa Barbara Bodhi Path Buddhist Center offers a high quality curriculum of instruction in Buddhist meditation practice and philosophy. The Center was founded in 1997 at the direction of Shamar Rinpoche. Since then, hundreds of students have come to learn and practice in a modern, non-sectarian environment focused on authentic Buddhist teachings taught and practiced by authentic teachers. We are a diverse community of practitioners encompassing all ages and levels of practice. Dawa Tarchin Phillips is the resident teacher, and we regularly host visiting teachers.
