Technical & Access Help

If you have a technical question or problems please be kind and patient and visit this page to get support. Support will be offered before and after the teachings.

During the program, minimal technical support is offered. We are doing all we can to ensure that everything goes smoothly and we appreciate your patience with any unforeseen technical glitches.

Our heartfelt intention is to bring the teachings to you in the most easeful way possible. Please remember that we are not a professional customer service department when you interact with the students who serve in this capacity.

How to Offer a Teacher’s Gift

Traditionally a monetary offering is made at the end of a program, presented directly to the teacher in an envelope along with a khata, or white scarf. We acknowledge the tendrel or auspicious connection that this creates and want to provide a pathway for those who wish to participate.

ONLINE OFFERING
You are welcome to make an offering online using PayPal or Venmo.

MAIL A CHECK
Please make the check out to Kongtrul Jigme Namgyel with ‘2021 Shedra teacher’s gift‘ in the memo line.

Creating a Sacred Environment when Attending Online Teachings

Rinpoche has urged all of us who attend teachings online to see the time and place when and where we are participating as sacred. In essence, his instruction is to be present as if we were in the shrine room with him and the assembly.

Here are some tips to establish your environment:

  • Before the program begins, prepare your personal space. Choose an area or room in your home from which to listen to the teachings.
  • Because we are using technology to broadcast this retreat, please make sure you have good internet reception in your retreat area. Turn off cell phones, iPads, radio, TV, and any other device that may be distracting.
  • If members of your household are not participating in the teachings, you may want to share the retreat schedule with them and request their support for your practice.
  • Keep a clear intention not to get distracted by home issues, leave early or multitask while participating online.
