On Sundays from 10:30am - 12:00pm our resident teacher, Geshe Gelek Chodak, leads the Sunday morning program which is appropriate for visitors and students of all levels of study and interest in Buddhism. The session includes a brief meditation, prayers, and the rare opportunity to learn from a highly trained Tibetan Buddhist monk. If you are unsure when to visit the center for the first time, Sunday is a great time to start. The teachings and prayers are offered in English (sometimes translated from Tibetan).
