The DKC Board members are requesting that everyone please where masks while inside the monastery. There is an increase in COVID and many people traveling from different places and this is the first large event that DKC has hosted for some time. We appreciate everyone’s understanding on this.
Please follow the guidance of the parking attendance. We should be fine for parking on-site. If for some reason the parking is full, please PARK on SHERIDAN AVE (not on Sheridan Place). This helps DKC to stay in harmony with our close neighbors. LUNCH will be vegetarian only for Wednesday to correspond with the specific prayer ceremony.
Keeping GO GREEN in mind, please be mindful about our recycling and trash management.
The Namgyalma text to be used will be shared in Zoom and printed for those who attend in person. It is also available here for download. This Dharma text includes English and Tibetan. If other languages are available, we will also add to the website for download.
Thank you for any help you can give in being patience for any mistakes or imperfections in the program venue. We are trying our best with our small group and look forward to adding more volunteers in the future.
