Rinpoche encourages attending the broadcasts at our regular teaching times at the center, if possible. If not, please send us your google address to our gmail address gadenpabuddhistcenter (if you are able to get one) so we can invite you to receive invitations to the broadcast. Also, please include your actual name when sending your google (= g-mail) email address.
Once again, we are sorry for the changes, hope that you are well, and look forward to our return.
