Welcome to the ONLINE Program!

  • Zoom links are on each event page. Meetings start 10 minutes before the event start time, so click on the link any time after that.
  • All our classes are by donation. Thank you for your generosity! Your donations help us cover costs and keep LTC flourishing.
  • Asking questions in class: For hybrid events you can put your questions into the chat and the Zoom host will ask on your behalf. For exclusively online events you can also turn on your camera and wave so we can invite you to speak.
  • Course packages includes donations for class, all the notes and screenshares, the weekly video or soundfile, and any extra readings or resources. They have a set cost, but give you the flexibility to come along in person or join online.
  • Online classes let you invite the teachings right into your own lounge room! They are a very good Plan B when life throws us obstacles.
  • Attending pujas online is unique in that we are literally holding the world within a virtual net of light.
  • “I rejoice in all the positive efforts and practices that everyone attending the course can offer, which will only ripple out to benefit all. Thank you for instigating that through your kindness, compassion, humour and sharing personal experiences. It’s been so great to be able to ‘attend’ teachings online… who would’ve thought that the unforeseen blessings COVID could offer, would be so many?”

  • “We just wanted to say how much we are enjoying the teachings on Zoom. In fact, we like it so much we would not mind if teachings would continue in this current format. It works really well with Miffi passing on questions at appropriate times and with Eddie. It gives a real sense of interaction with the teacher which you would not get by simply listening to podcasts. The other advantage is that you can catch a bigger audience as people don’t have to travel if they live far away.”

  • “From a disability perspective I had no difficulties. I’m visually impaired (like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces missing) but having the audio, the big slides with the main points and the time to look through notes before class, really helped me and has given me the confidence to start the DB cycle again.”

  • “Thank you for a great Easter retreat I really enjoyed it, especially the meditations, and thank you for the images on the screenshare that you put together, they are so helpful.”

  • “Sunday’s with Geshe-la, studying the Lojong teachings together, is now the absolute highlight of the week for many friends within our centre – even within this virtual platform we are all Individually holding something deeply connecting together. We appreciate every moment so very much, thank you Stephie at FPMT-A for hosting in this way. The benefit is surely immense, rippling all around the globe!”

  • “Today’s class was really wonderful, a big thank you to you and Eddie. I was surprised how well I stayed focussed. I thought it might be too one dimensional and that I would miss the interaction with others. But both Eddie and you seemed very real, and with questions it was still quite interactive. Overall I felt connected and I’m looking forward to next week’s class.”

  • “Thank you for providing the zoom class this evening. I enjoyed being able to participate remotely and having a front-row seat with Corey! It was useful also having someone moderate the comments.”

  • “Thank you so much for all the amazing meritorious miracles you are working on the web. It has been an extraordinary day, being virtually in the Gompa just as usual on a Sunday. I am quite blissed out. I am more than happy to lead some meditations from home if there is a way that you, the web-techno Bodhisattva, can work it out!”

  • “Hi Miffi, May I nominate you as our first dharma techno-head? Well done! All that work for the benefit of LTC students, I rejoice in your merit. In true appreciation”
