Online Weekly Practice Sessions
Regular practice is essential if we are to gain any proficiency and accomplishments.
Group practices are an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of our own practice, particularly for those not yet versed in them, and also help us establish an understanding of group practice protocols. Lama Rangbar has encouraged us to meet online to give our international sangha a chance to participate in regularly scheduled group practices.
