This is our responsibility to help people who are going through a big disaster in Haiti. I strongly recommend to you please don't miss your part."

Recent Events

The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva
Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche taught from this text written by Gyelsay Togmay Sangpo, who lived from 1295 to 1369. This work is about training the mind. This means ridding ourselves completely of all disturbing emotions and their imprints. At the very least it should help us to prevent their coarser forms and gradually to decrease them.

Tibetan Prayer Flag Ceremony
Hosted by the Tibetan Women's Association, this ceremony for the Tibetan community included a Tara Puja performed by resident monks.

Group Study Workshop on Lamrim Topics
Dharma students were asked to lead discussions on a Lamrim topic. Participants were asked to prepare in advance, bringing questions, doubts and concerns about each topic.
