PRIVATE AUDIENCES
Rinpoche usually reserves an hour per day for individual talks (max. 10-15 minutes each). Those interested in a private audience with Rinpoche should write a short note in English and hand it to Rinpoche’s assistant, after Rinpoche’s arrival. The note should contain: you first and last name, as well as a short explanation why are you asking for an audience. Rinpoche will accept your requests, after reading your notes. Afterwards, her assistant will prepare a list of people granted a private audience.
