The Shuttle-Welcome-Parking team took on one of the biggest challenges of the course once again – and managed gloriously! :)

We are very happy to welcome Rinpoche back to the Europe Center. Rinpoche started his program with an exciting lecture about the main protector of the Karma Kagyu Lineage – Black Coat.
