Special Announcement

Last Saturday (March 14), Lama Tenzin and Heidi came out of retreat at Gomde Pyrenees long enough to hold a "live" Q&A session over Zoom with TTE participants from all over the world.

Even in the new and trying circumstances we're all experiencing with the coronavirus, Lama-la had his usual upbeat, positive, supportive and humorous attitude. He addressed our isolation as an opportunity for practice, and we wanted to be sure to let you know that this video is now online on the DharmaSun website for you to view.



Other Reminders for this Month
For Tara's Triple Excellence practitioners, the Cafés are great opportunities to enjoy casual conversation, pose questions or share experience over a cup of coffee or tea. Treat yourself to the energy of friends who are pursuing a similar spiritual journey. The Zoom link for all cafés (unless otherwise indicated) is: https://zoom.us/j/886893203 . This will take you to our Zoom conference, and you will enter and be visible to the other attendees.
