Advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche for COVID-19
Practices with Ven. Amy Miller

Would you like to do a bit more for your internal practice during these challenging times? FPMT Spiritual Director Lama Zopa Rinpoche and His Holiness the Dalai Lama have recommended a few practices and mantras to recite to maintain our own good health and fend off the spread of COVID-19, and they can certainly make you feel more empowered during these critical days. Rinpoche has said that group practice can have a greater benefit than practicing alone. 
 
Ven. Amy Miller has offered to lead these free practices online through Shantideva Center. Feel free to pass along this information to any others you know via email, social media, etc. The more we include, the better!

These are difficult times for all of us, and dharma centers are no exception. It is only through the incredible generosity of donors that they are able to spread the Dharma to their communities. If you are able, please consider making a donation to your local center. You can find Shantideva Center’s donation page here.
 
Be well and stay safe,
The Shantideva team
