Centre Programme May/June 2008
***
Due to
unforeseen circumstances our new Tibetan translator from Dharamsala is unable to come to NZ
at present.
As soon as his visa issue is solved he will come and Geshe-la's
teaching program will start. We hope the visa issue will be solved by the end of
June.
Geshe-la will be going into
retreat from 20th April until the end of June.
However he will be leading
the different Pujas and when one wants to talk to him he will be available after
the Pujas.
10th to 15th June Geshe-la will attend the teachings of HH. the Dalai Lama in Australia (see: www.dalailamainaustralia.org)
Geshe-la's teachings at JTDL will start after his return in New Zealand when the translator arrives
