Thank You

Thank you!

On behalf of the monks of the Gyuto Vajrayana Center and the Gyuto Monastery, I would like to underscore our sincere and heartfelt thanks to all of the benefactors, sponsors, volunteers and friends who supported us in bringing His Holiness the Dalai Lama to San Francisco on April 27 - 29, 2007.   Without your help, we would not have received the precious and rare teachings on Dependent Origination that were given by His Holiness.

On the morning of Sunday April 29, I had the opportunity to have an audience with His Holiness and I requested that he return to give further teachings in the Bay Area.  His Holiness kindly said: Yes.  At this point we do not know when this might be, but we definitely all need to pray and practice diligently so that we might get another date for His Holiness to return to the Bay Area to teach.

Please log onto www.dalailamabay2007.com  to view photos from the teachings.  Not surprisingly, we have had many requests regarding obtaining the teachings on DVD.  We are happy to announce that you will soon be able to download the entire video teachings at no cost from the event website.  Please check back within the next 1-2 weeks.

Once again, we deeply thank everyone who attended or supported the teachings of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. 
You have an open invitation to visit us at the Gyuto Center in San Jose!
