Buddhism teaches that the two basic parts of Buddhist training are compassion and wisdom; like two wings of a bird that enables it to fly. Join us for basic flight training as we soar with the eagles and learn to develop our compassion and wisdom. Our flight instructor is named Tubten Pende (James Dougherty). He was the coordinator of the Geshe Studies at Manjushri Institute in England. He currently works in the field of western education and brings his vast experience, knowledge and sense of humor to every class he teaches.
