Because of covid pandemic, for some time we were not able to meet in Benchen Center in Grabnik personaly. In such circumstances we have started to meet through our YouTube channel and we still continue that.
We stream online Lama Rinchen’s talks on various topics, but only in Polish. We also stream some pujas and practice it together online. These are in Tibetan, so everyone can join, regardless of the native language.
