After discussing with Khenpo Choephel we have decided to cancel tomorrow's teaching session (Sunday January 25th). Khenpo prefers that we have people be able to attend in person, and the incoming snow storm in Pittsburgh will prevent safe travel.

Apologies for the short notice!

The teachings will continue next weekend (January 31 and February 1) as scheduled.

We will have online only Vajrasattva purification practice tomorrow (January 25th) at 10AM
