The Ottawa Palyul Centre is delighted to host this teaching on Zoom by Lopon Rigzin Losal, one of Namdroling’s advanced English-speaking monastic teachers.

Or, are you someone who knows how important gratitude is to your health and well-being, someone who would like to take some time to join others in exploring the experience of gratitude? Whatever your gratitude habit is and whatever your spiritual tradition, you are warmly welcomed to this experiential, meditative day as an opportunity to reflect on and feel gratitude for what we have and to experience relief from the endless wants and worries of our busy minds.
