Our Projects for the Current Year

Digitization of Video Recordings
Finishing up digitization for Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche: Due to the flooding and other improvements we accomplished last year, we were unable to complete the digitization project in 2017. We hope to complete the digitization of the VHS tapes this summer, 2018! This is a big milestone for us, and we are working hard to meet this deadline.
