In wishing you a Happy Losar we send out this week’s program, which includes the celebrations for the New Year of the Water Tiger.
We would like to point out that the usual Mandarava Long Life retreat begins on March 3rd.
To consult the complete program please click on this link.

For the intensive Ngagkong practice on Tuesday 1st March, we need practitioners for the intermediate session, from 1pm to 3pm, and in particular someone to lead the session, to coordinate the rhythm of the drum, etc.
Please register here, otherwise we will be forced to limit the practice to only the first two hours (11 – 13), while it is instead important to practice as much as possible in this moment in which so many beings and so many of our Vajra brothers and sisters and their families and friends need the support of the Guardians. Thank you so much.

In the buildings at Merigar please follow the rules for social distancing and wear a mask during the practices. To access the Yellow House you must have a green pass. The activities for which the green pass is required are indicated in the program below.
