Greetings from Dzamling Gar!
Despite the many challenges facing the world and Dzamling Gar the year of 2020, Dzamling Gar continues to provide a rich program of courses and activities, including daily and weekly practices. Some have been webcast in conjunction with Merigar West through Practicing Together, some by Zoom, some both, and some only live. We are fortunate to have this big and beautiful Gönpa where we can practice together with enough social distance using masks.
In 2020 we ran approximately 58 courses and events, including Mandarava, Losar and Fundraising events, so for 2020, not including the Vajra Dance courses, there were 3430 participants on Zoom, plus 634 Chinese participants bringing the total to 4064.
We are grateful for our dedicated instructors and webcast team, who worked hour after hour, to bring these programs to the internet. We also have a group of tireless and dedicated translators, without whom we cannot share these programs around the world.We held courses by webcast and zoom in Yantra Yoga, Respira, Pranayamas, Mandarava Sogitg and Tsalungs, Tara Practice and Santi Maha Sangha, as well as some special events for Vajra Dance and Khaita, and Khaita continues to webcast one day a week from the Dzamling Gar Gönpa.
We are also working together with SSI UK to host a 6 Module weekend series of Open Meditation with various SMS instructors by Zoom.
