Wednesday (May 1) will be a day dedicated to practice sessions and Red Tara Tsog.
You can take part in just one session or just the tsog.
There will be no teaching or instruction, so the program is aimed at everyone who attends Odsal Ling and already does one of our practices.
If you would like to have breakfast at the Temple, you must make a reservation by Tuesday 30th.
You also need to confirm your attendance by Tuesday 30th.
The practice sessions are in person only, but the tsog will be broadcast.
Offerings are spontaneous.
Your spontaneous offering allows Odsal Ling's activities to continue and expand.
You collaborate with:
- Spreading the Dharma to people all over the world;
- Offering free practices and teachings;
- Improving the recording of teachings and online transmissions;
- Temple maintenance and structural improvements;
- Supporting the group of resident volunteers who maintain Gonpa's activities.
Every offering counts!
