Venerable monks of Gyuto Vajrayana Center have requested Khensur Rinpoche White Tara Initiation to be given for the occasion of New Year 2012 so that all the members and friends can live long and prosperous lives in the coming years. This event will be held at the Gyuto Center and this is Rinpoche's last teaching for the year at the Gyuto Center.
