|offeredservicesdetails=This summer I served as the teaching assistant for the Buddhist Studies Summer Program at Gomde California, offering emotional and logistical support to students. In 2023 I organized a group of college students to attend Phakchok Rinpoche's teaching at Harvard University, and organized a talk at my University by one of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's close western students. Since spring of 2024 I have attended meetings for Dharma Gyan International Youth Association, and helped to brainstorm with other members of the organization about how to develop the group in accordance with Rinpoche's aspirations. I am currently working with another member of the group to build a website for Dharma Gyan Youth. During Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's summer seminars at Gomde California the last three years I staffed their shop selling ritual items to Sangha members on behalf of the center. I have also helped Gomde set up and take down their large number of furnished canvas tent-cabins before and after their annual Summer program. During summer programs, I have helped with washing dishes and cleaning the back-kitchen on a daily basis. | |offeredservicesdetails=This summer I served as the teaching assistant for the Buddhist Studies Summer Program at Gomde California, offering emotional and logistical support to students.
