TRTCC Upcoming Practices, July 5 – 9

Dear Dharma Friends,

Our practices this week will be slightly modified. Lama Kalsang is travelling to Lama Sonam’s Boston center on the 7th, and will join our Saturday (8th) and Sunday (9th) practices via Zoom.

Our Wednesday yidam practice this week is Chenrezig at 7pm, and this Thursday begins our new monthly first Thursday Vajrasattva Study Group at 7pm. Evening Tea Break will continue on the other Thursdays of the month.

Please note: the CDC has listed our community transmission level as low, and masks are optional for our in person practices at the center. We do ask that only fully vaccinated people come in to the center. We will be running the air purifier in the common area. If you are not feeling well or have had a recent exposure to Covid, please ensure that you are negative with a home test before coming in or join us online.

May the illumination of wisdom teachings shine through all obscurations of our mind, and may our practices be beneficial to all beings!
