Rinpoche’s schedule includes teaching at the following FPMT centers, projects or services. As soon as other events are scheduled, we will update this page. We advise you to subscribe to FPMT News for updates, as Rinpoche’s schedule is subject to change –
As part of our Rinpoche Available Now (RAN) project we aim to provide live webcasts of Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s teachings whenever possible.
