Hello folks, I may be spending a fair amount of time in Santa Fe over the next few years and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for practice opportunities in the region, including Albuquerque and Taos. I know that Ewam Pema Khandro Ling is there, but honestly I don't know anything about it or its resident teacher Gochen Tulku Sang-ngag except what I have read on the website. I gather there's also an FPMT center, and maybe a Kagyu center, as well as a Zen center with a fairly prominent senior teacher.

Not looking to gossip or anything like that, of course, just looking for impressions and tips by anyone who's familiar with the area - if it's a good place to lay a foundation for practice, especially in Dzogchen.

Many thanks!

This is an incredible, unbelievable milestone - the 84,000 project has translated 80% of the Kangyur and published 50% of it already, in a little more than a decade. This is a miracle for modern times. May all beings benefit, now and forever.

Hey folks, Zalando has plastered my neighborhood parks and walkways with advertising graffiti - on the sidewalks along the river, for example, you see it every hundred meters or so. I suppose it's "temporary," but it's been there for weeks with no sign of fading at all.

If you're on the fence about buying something on Zalando, I'd appreciate it if you'd consider using one of their competitor sites as a way of letting them know that they should probably not appropriate the streets of the city and turn them into a giant rent-free billboard at our expense. If you feel as I do, please consider shopping somewhere else. Thanks!
