Dear dharma friend,

Thank you for being part of our special pujas and Vase Ceremony ahead of the onsite groundwork and your kind offering.

You are welcome to join the lamas onsite and online during the practices. Please find the Zoom link below. You can log in anytime using the same Zoom link and for however long you like. The practices will be in Tibetan-only without screenshare. Even if you are not familiar or chant along, it is taught that there are great blessings in joining, even if only for one session or brief moment.
