Gaden Choling Mahayana Buddhist Meditation Centre

We are happy to announce that our teacher Zasep Rinpoche Bagsh-aa will be coming to Toronto this June. You'll find below a schedule of teachings and a message from Ann Gelsheimer. We'll have more details about the teachings as the date approaches.

Hello Everyone,

Here is Rinpoche's teaching and initiation schedule for his visit in June. He was sorry he could not accommodate everyone's requests as there were many, but this is as much as he can do in one visit.

There may be some last minute changes, but this will give everyone an idea of what is planned and when. Please look for more updates closer to Rinpoche's arrival.

Ann

President of Gaden Choling Board
