Thank you very much for posting this

What time zone is it?

[Lhasa]

Thank you very much for posting this

What time zone is it?

This is in Dayton, Ohio, Eastern time zone.

[emaho]

Thank you, Lhasa. Is ETZ the same as Eastern Standard Time (EST)?

Or, maybe easier, if you are currently in that timezone, could you tell me what time it is over there now?


P.S.:

just found that out by myself:

This channel is live if the other one isn't.

I'd like to "join" at least one of the practice sessions, is there a way to get the text somewhere on the web? Or could somebody mail it to me?

[dzogchungpa]

Also, is there an image of the deity card somewhere?

I don't know about the sadhana, try googling Garchen Chakrasamvara in images. Blue with red consort, four dakinis in the corners, one face two arms.

Maybe the "Chakrasamvara - Drikung Kagyu Lineage" image here:

is the one.

Garchen Rinpoche has given the Chakrasamvara Initiation in Dayton, Ohio, before. On their website you can find this picture in the context of the 2013 Chakrasamvara retreat:

(however there is no evidence that this is the very image used in the initiation).

There are also some recordings of the teachings Garchen Rinpoche has given in 2013:

To avoid a misunderstanding, I'd be happy to pay for the text at the official shop or to give a donation to Garchen Rinpoche's centers, if somebody could mail it to me.

What is the difference between Avalokiteshvara and Padmapani?

[Lhasa]

There is an additional practice session Monday night, of Achi, Medicine Buddha and one other I didn't catch. Will ask tomorrow but heads up, there's more.

This is the correct image that they handed out at the center.

6:30 p.m. Eastern tonight. The Khenpo said anyone who watches the pujas, receives the blessings.

Can anyone tell me if they webcasted the question and answer sessions?
