You can also join the Garchen Buddhist Institute and Drigar Thubten Dargye Ling Facebook pages and Youtube channels. These advertise teachings and practices that we can join alongside.

Catch up on H E Garchen Rinpoche’s winter teachings on the Prayer of Samantabadhra:

*Message from H.E. Garchen Rinpoche*

When you recite this prayer, the buddhas of the three times pray together with you. All Buddhists in the world join within the words of this prayer, and thereby our minds will merge. In this way, we accumulate great merit together, which will help move the world into a better direction. Of course, if you don’t pray, there won’t be any merit. It is very important to pray at this time. So, aside from meeting in our minds, we will also continue to meet on live-stream. I will join the White Tara practice every Sunday and it will be live-streamed. During the week I will be in retreat and I will be praying and meditating day and night. If you pray and meditate too, we will always be together.
