About the session

As there will be no teaching/explanation about the practice within the actual session, it is mainly meant for those we are already familiar with traditional practices and prayers within Tibetan Buddhism. However, you are very welcome to attend even if you are not familiar with these practices. You can attend at whatever level suits you, participate in the whole practice or just participate in whatever part of the practice makes sense to you and listen in/observe the rest.
