Ven Roger Kunsang
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. On our livestream page you can watch live webcasts, see the schedule for future webcasts, and watch archived events. Higher quality recordings of previous teachings – including previously live-streamed teachings – are made available via Teachings of Lama Zopa Rinpoche as soon as possible after the events.
