Update on the Coronavirus & Lama Yeshe House Activities
Dear Lama Yeshe House Community,
I want to extend a heart felt thank you to each of you who helped support Lama Yeshe House during our membership and sponsorship drive over the last two weeks! In addition, to all of our volunteers that made Geshe Sherab's visit possible, thank you for your time and dedication.
I want to also take this opportunity to address the novel coronavirus, COVID 19, that is on all of our minds locally and nationally. Here are some resources from our state public health department, CPDHE and the CDC. Both of these organizations recommend avoiding large public events due to new local transmission.
Due to these recommendations and the need to safeguard our community, we are moving all of our programing to virtual content only via Zoom/similar online platform. This includes our Discovering Buddhism Refuge Course as well as Venerable Robina's planned teachings April 10th-12th. We are suspending our Meditation 101 series until we can hold in-person classes but we encourage you to check out the at-home version at FPMT.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche has also offered advice on how to protect from the coronavirus. It is important we remove any physical conditions for the virus to spread. But without addressing the deep karmic causes of sickness, our efforts at protection will have no power. We ask for your understanding in implementing this holistic approach. This will be beneficial for ourselves as well as for our communities locally and across the globe.
We will continue to update you on any changes to our scheduled programming and when we can resume in-person programming at the Home Collective. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Katherine Frasca
Center Director

About Lama Yeshe House
Grounded in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of the Dalai Lama, we operate with a non-sectarian spirit, and offer both Buddhist and secular programs and meditation. We are affiliated with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), a global Buddhist organization founded by the visionary Tibetan masters Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
Most activities are open to join anytime, and are offered freely. Our smaller class sizes create a relaxed atmosphere and space for discussion, plus easy access to instructors. Donations gratefully accepted.
