7th July 2023

It’s six years since this Foundation, set up with the blessing of Yongdzin Rinpoche, received its official status as a UK charity, so this weekend we are celebrating another anniversary. ‘Hardly a day goes by without me reading at least one or two pages from your books’ (sangha member) Each year when we come to prepare the Annual Report for the UK Charity Commission, we think we didn’t manage to do much this year, but then I look over the last twelve months and see that in fact we released several books of teachings, as well as prayers, videos, Zoom …
