Hi Pauline, I think the system is geared up to physical seating more than online. Tiers are therefore irrelevant, and you can decide how much or little you want to pay. I would suggest the cheapest tier and rather offer more Dana (donation) to Rinpoche. Don't worry about being familiar/unfamiliar. We will get a link the day before, and just click on it a couple of minutes before it is due to begin. I am also in WA, so it will be 7.30 am for us! Warmest wishes, David
Thank you David…practicing turning suffering into happiness….ever mindful .💗it occurred to me the phrase we grew up with, “ who do you think you are? “ never has that (word play )
As a student of Zasep Tulku Rinpoche's who clearly holds him in high regard as one of your principle teachers, I wonder if you can tell me what his relationship to Dorje Shugden is these days? I believe he has been quite open in the past about his close relationship to this protector.
We have only spoken about this very briefly, William - Rinpoche is a lineage holder for a great many yiddams and paradoxically, is associated, by many of us, most of all with Mahamudra,.
I'm grateful and delighted with the prospect of such teachings. Thank you so much. I was touched by his image. The power of his understanding shows. I'll see you there. Metta.
Thank you David, for this opportunity. I would really like to attend one of Zasep Tulku Rinpoche's teachings on Zoom but remaining awake until 1 or 2am GMT would not help with being attentive to the teaching.
David, this is off topic but I feel compelled to tell you something. In March of 2022, my husband of 34 years died. In July of 2022, my sons and I found out that we would not be allowed to stay in the apartment we had lived in for 18 years. We were given 7 days to vacate. We were not able to raise funds for a storage unit so we lost the furniture, mementos and such. We each got out with most of our clothes and nothing else. Luckily, a family friend allowed me and my oldest to stay with them and my youngest stayed with a friend. Here in the U.S. I am entitled to Widow's Benefits but the process can take a long time. I live in Birmingham, Alabama and both of our Buddhist Centers closed during the pandemic. I was able to join the center in Atlanta, Georgia for zoom teachings, but had no one to practice with. It was a dark time in my life. And then I found HHC. She became my daily escape. She dealt with things I was dealing with. Even though she was a story, she reminded me that each day can be a teaching if we allow it to be. She showed me a way to process my grief as well. She reconnected me to my practice and helped me to re-center. Even though it took a year, things are much better for us now. My benefits were approved, I have a new apartment and my sons are doing well too. HHC got me through that time, and I will always be grateful. My teacher once told me that every experience carries it's lesson. HHC was a full school year of lessons for me. Thank you for telling her story.
Hello David,
Can you tell me what tier one, two and three mean in zoom.
The times EST Canadian time?
I’m not very familiar with Zoom.
I live in Western Australia, I think that should work for me.
Thankyou
Pauline

Thank you David. That would be extremely interesting.
Might there be recordings for those of us in the UK and Europe?
Thanks, Lorna, I believe they can arrange this on request at: gadencholing@protonmail.com

Thank you David,
For explanation.

Early walk for the dogs!
Nice to know you live in W.A too.🙂
Kind regards
