Jan. and Feb. Events - New Teacher Training Program

Gen-la Dekyong in Canada

It was a great priviledge to have Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong in Toronto and Canada throughout January. Her events were well attended and the public response was excellent. Everyone who participated found new energy and insight to start the New Year. We hope to see her back in the Toronto area very soon!
