Tashi Delek Dharma Friends,
We have a few announcements to share: Tomorrow (Saturday, Aug. 9) at 6am Ven. Khenpo Choephel Rinpoche will offer the Eight Precepts vow for the full moon day. Taking the 24 hour precepts are an excellent way for lay practitioners to practice renunciation, purify unwholesome habits, and accumulate merit. You may join us at the center in person or Join us on Zoom.
On August 23 & 24, Lama Kalsang will be giving a workshop on how to create and work with Tormas! This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the meaning, uses, and construction of Tormas, which are essential to our lineage’s practices.
The workshop will be held at Three Rivers Tibetan Cultural Center, 7313 Florence Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15218 If attending in person, you may bring a lunch or go out. The center will provide tea / coffee.
