A four-foot high statue of Yeshe Tsogyal has been sculpted at the Padma Amrita center in Spokane. Making the statue was a unique group process which evolved out of an initiation, teachings and retreat of the Yeshe Tsogyal practice. Visitors are welcome to the center to see the statue and to participate in the ongoing activities and classes. The center has retreat facilities available where practitioners can do solitary retreat in the mountains near Spokane. Lama Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, the founder of the center, is now building a major retreat and study center near Weaverville, California.
