Transformative Practices for Body, Speech and Mind

The Three Doors is an educational organization responding to the desire of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche to offer the transformative medicine of Bön Buddhist meditation practices in secular contexts. Headquartered in the United States, the organization currently offers classes and retreats throughout the Americas and Europe. The Three Doors Academy warmly invites students and trainees of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin. Its teachers have been trained by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche to present the meditation practices of The Three Doors and to mentor their integration in everyday life.

The Three Doors Academy presents experientially-based teachings and practices of meditation to support connection to one’s sacred body, genuine speech, and luminous mind. Joining with others in this process facilitates inner transformation and ripens the authentic expression of an individual’s unique gifts. In making a personal commitment to practice these simple, time-honored techniques, trainees reflect on their lives fearlessly and honestly in order to identify limiting patterns of behavior and engage directly in their transformation. In this way, meditation is not a passive but an engaged and dynamic process and a powerful agent of change. Every aspect of our program—whether it be participation in group and personal retreats, commitment to journaling, working with a private mentor, or completing a creative project—is designed to enable the trainee to effectively bring changes in daily life and to contribute to society. The primary emphasis of the Academy is personal transformation and the creative manifestation of this transformation in all aspects of life.
