Online Book Club
Caring by Tarthang Tulku
Wednesdays, January 7-28, 2026 from 5-6pm PT



Caring is something we and our world urgently need.  We know real caring when we experience it, but our way of life – or perhaps our way of relating to our minds – seems to leave us feeling profoundly un-cared for.  But.. .there is a secret.  When we learn to care for ourselves, we naturally care for others. Caring for ourselves, we find new inner resources that we can draw on, rather than be depleted by offering care to others.

In Caring, Tibetan lama Tarthang Tulku embarks on a wide-ranging exploration of the deep importance of learning to care.  Drawing on his Buddhist background as well as fifty years spent working closely with students from around the world, he shows us how caring can bring us face-to-face with human nature’s deepest mysteries – and its highest potentials.

In reflections that range from the simple heartfelt to the challenging and profound, Caring shows us how caring can ease our hearts, strengthen our spirits, and transform our sense of what is possible.  Come see what you find!!

You can purchase the book at Dharma Publishing, but you donʻt need a book to join our sessions.

My favorite retreat center
I love Ratna Ling. The cabins are spacious, filled with windows and high ceilings, and very clean. The staff are so kind and helpful. They gives tours of the temple, property, nearby hikes, and talks about the history of the property. The vegetarian food is absolutely delicious and satisfying. Recently they have begun making bread which is fresh and hard to resist.

I've come here 6 times now and can't wait to come back. Every time I'm here, the stress of life just melts away and feel so cared for and rejuvenated. This is a special place.
