Cyber-Sangha Week
This October: Seven Days of Online Celebration Honoring Ligmincha’s 25th Anniversary
On October 22, a grand celebration will take place at Ligmincha International’s Serenity Ridge Retreat Center in central Virginia, U.S.A, as Ligmincha honors the 25 years since its founding by Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.
If you can’t be at Serenity Ridge that day, you can still participate in the opening festivities from your computer or other device — part of a full week of special online observances — by visiting the Ligmincha International Facebook page. You don’t need a Facebook account to participate!
This weeklong event, October 22–28, 2017, is known as Cyber-Sangha Week. It’s Ligmincha’s way of celebrating its teachers, teachings, and traditions, as well as its many worldwide centers and spiritual communities (sanghas). By clicking and viewing, you’ll discover how you can benefit from a wide variety of online and in-person offerings.
The week’s observances include:
October 22: An opening ceremony will be broadcast live on Facebook from Serenity Ridge. There, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, other Bön lamas, and others will honor Ligmincha and some of the individuals who have contributed in a big way to Ligmincha over the years. Also on that day Ligmincha’s other primary retreat centers — Chamma Ling Mexico, Chamma Ling Poland, Chamma Ling Colorado, and Lishu Institute in Dehradun, India — are invited to share live broadcasts, recorded videos, photographs, and more.
October 23–28: Ligmincha sanghas throughout North and South America, Europe, and beyond will be posting and broadcasting online. So far, planned sharings include:
– Guided meditations broadcast live from practice groups around the world
– Live and recorded video tours of practice centers and teaching halls
– Live and recorded greetings from sangha members and Bön lamas worldwide
– Videos of previous on-site teachings around the world by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
