My very best wishes from the Gompa on Galiano Island.
It is now officially confirmed that Drikung Lho Ontül Rinpoche will be teaching in Canada in September and October 2017. He is accompanied by his gifted son and translator, Lho Karma Ratna Rinpoche. Attached is a general itinerary for the East and West coasts of Canada.
Drikung Lho Ontül Rinpoche is an illustrious teacher, a great yogi and holds many precious transmissions (http://rywiki.tsadra.org/index.php/Lho_Ontul_Rinpoche).
