In such an unfortunate times of diluted wisdom and providence, when very few have the interest in learning and practicing the deep meanings of the essences of Buddhism, there is an absolute necessity to adopt a new approach for teaching and transmitting Buddhism, that will somehow meets the nature, attitude and desire of the disciples.

On the first day of the workshop, we had the privilege to be able to host 40 plus attendees of Khenpos, Talks, and Geshes representatives from every sect of Tibetan Buddhism.

he workshop was a very important part of the project of the Institute, which was conceived and decided upon during the workshop on <<Methods of Teaching Buddhism>>, which was presided by the honourable Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, on the 13th December 2020.
