Geshe Dhonam will be departing for India on Monday March the 2nd. We wish him all the best for these travels.

Coming up on Wednesday the 25th of February is Losar or the Tibetan New Year. Happy New Year!

We are collecting cat and dog food to give to the SPCA, around March 10th. It is a powerful time to practise generosity and creates a connection to all those beings as well as being a good thing to do. All contributions gratefully accepted. Please leave them at the centre.

Thursday 19th February 6:30pm Tsog, a practice to gather the collections of merit and wisdom so we can accomplish the path.
