CALENDAR
OF EVENTS
 This Calendar of Events is an overview of what is happening at Tushita each month. We have included His Holiness the Dalai Lama's annual public
teachings in McLeod Ganj which we highly recommend attending. At these times Tushita does not offer courses or retreats but often holds daily review sessions
of the teachings. Please note that these teachings are organized by His
Holiness' private office and not by Tushita Meditation Centre.
All dates are subject to change!
Please contact Tushita before making final travel arrangements.
Thank you for your understanding
& patience!
