Rinpoche will be leading an Amitabha Retreat in Taiwan at the Taichung City Deguang Cultural and Educational Foundation, and our Dharma brothers and sisters there kindly agreed to allow Rinpoche’s international sangha to attend via Zoom.  Even though the proceedings will be in Tibetan and translated into Chinese, Rinpoche’s English speaking students can still benefit by seeing Rinpoche and soaking in the good energy of the practice.  It’s a late night puja for us!
