Recently, you might have been asked to fill out a registration form before attending a class at BH. We apologise if this presents some inconvenience. The information is helpful for us to verify attendance and completion for classes that are part of ongoing programs. The form also allows us to better tailor additional events to the needs of students. We hope to streamline this process in the coming months.

One way to avoid this is to register for your course online. Classes are listed on the Shop page of our website.

Now it is nearly 4 months since Rinpoche had a stroke, we are doing our best in changing circumstances to keep the discipline of physio and physical exercises going as well as medication for the control of the diabetes and blood pressure. In terms of Rinpoche's progress it is slow but continues to be positive.
