Our apologies—the previous email provided the incorrect date for Open Sangha. Words for the WeekSome do not believe in cyclic existence but winter, spring, summer and fall is all cyclic existence.

Dr. Lye was appointed as head-lama for the Cusco Drikung Kagyu Center almost two years ago by HH Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang, and since then the new Cusco center has grown beyond imagination!
