Lama Choying leads Chenrezig Puja via Zoom, Saturday nights 6 - 7 PM Pacific Time
I would like Lama Choying to lead the Chenrezig Puja via Zoom and conduct Q & A to the public for when they have questions. Lama Choying has been my student for a long time and has completed Three Year Retreat under my direction, and has been quite inseparable for all my activity. He has good motivation to help people, and while I am gone, he will lead the Chenrezig puja via Zoom at 6 - 7 PM Pacific Time every Saturday night. You will not need to bring anything to participate, as he will lead the practice slowly with the text on the screen.
I am confident as I know him, his motivation is very strong to benefit others compared to other people who say too many things, so I really believe he can benefit all of you. Even people who are not necessarily my students can practice with him on Zoom, so I request - please everyone, don't be ignorant, and pay attention. Whatever your leisure, you can come on any Saturday evening. From my heart, I request that you continually maintain this practice, as Chenrezig is the emanation of the actual Buddha's compassion. When you meditate on Chenrezig and chant the mantra, you are communicating directly with the Buddha's mind and becoming more inseparable with your mind. Then, you have some space for wisdom and method to be instilled in your mind. Lama Choying will show the text on the screen; nothing else is necessary, you can follow the text right there, and Lama Choying will let you know when to start, when to say mantra, do silent meditation, and conclude. If you have leisure time, you can ask questions afterwards.

Donations
As the center relies on dues and donations, if there is someone who is motivated from their heart to maintain the KDK Dharma center, you are more than welcome to make a contribution at this PayPal link. Currently, there is a water problem on the KDK Retreat Land, and there is always a shortfall to maintain the San Francisco Dharma Center which needs painting, roofing, and so on. Donations of any amount will be very helpful and you can make a memo to donate for any specific purpose:
