We are very sorry to announce that our Vajra Brother, Federico Ballarin, has just passed away.

The Merigar Dzogchen Community sends it deepest condolences to his family and those closest to him.

We will remember him in our practice, particularly on Tuesday, February 27, in the Shitro Practice for the third day of passing, to be held at 18.30.
