Yesterday we received the blessing empowerment of Arya Tara connected online to the International Summer Festival. The first day of our 3 day mini-festival experience joining the festival online. It was so very special. Thank you to all those involved to make these festivals available online. Thank you Gen-la Dekyong for granting the empowerment and above all the most deepest gratitude to our dearest Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe-la 💚 for his inconceivable kindness, without whom none of this would be appearing in our world. Thank you.
