His Holiness will teach on Shantideva's Bodhisattvacharyavatara from October 23 through 27th, 1992, at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. This teaching provides an important foundation for the understanding and practice of both sutra and tantra.

In 1989, His Holiness consecrated the site for a Tibetan Peace Temple in Malibu, California, at the request of Thubten Dhargye Ling. Dedicated to the preservation of Tibetan Buddhism and Culture, this temple will offer public Dharma teachings, retreats, and cultural events as well as house a replica of the Kalachakra sand mandala. Construction, which is being funded by private donations, will begin in early 1992 and is scheduled for completion at the time of His Holiness' visit in October. Contributions are appreciated. To receive information on His Holiness' visit in October, and on the Temple, contact Thubten Dhargye Ling-TDL, 2658 La Cienega Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90034.
