|tibetanretreatparts=Instructions will be given In Tibetan but there will be a translator. The texts and teaching materials have been translated into English. Group practice (twice a month) will be chanted in Tibetan. Individual practice can be Chanted In Tibetan or in English.
Most of the teachings will come from Drupön Lama Tenzin Sangpo, his English is very good and sometimes I feel he does not need a translator.
I personally like to chant in both Tibetan and English, English for the meaning and Tibetan for the blessings.
