Introducing CyberSangha
New Name and Website for Rinpoche’s Webcasts and Social Media
Reflecting Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's deep personal commitment to offer free access to his teachings for anyone in the world who might benefit from them, Rinpoche will soon apply a new name to his ongoing program of social media activities: CyberSangha. A new CyberSangha website, to be launched in coming weeks, will serve as a portal to all of Rinpoche's social media activities and online supports.
Buddhism speaks of “three jewels”: the Buddha; the dharma, or Buddhist teachings; and the sangha – the community of meditation practitioners who follow the teachings and put them into practice. The name CyberSangha specifically refers to the international community of individuals who are following Rinpoche's free Facebook Live teachings and guided meditations and are seeking nourishment from the mutual support of others.
Offered regularly since late 2016, Rinpoche's live broadcasts include not only teaching and guided practices, but also interfaith dialogues, conversations between scientific and spiritual leaders, and Tibetan poetry readings, as well as glimpses of Rinpoche's life and travels. They can be viewed live on Rinpoche’s Facebook page. A team of volunteers provides simultaneous translation of the Facebook Live broadcasts into multiple languages, and a Facebook discussion group permits exchanges between members of the CyberSangha. Recordings of each broadcast will be accessible in multiple languages via the new CyberSangha website as well as language-specific YouTube channels.
Stay tuned for more information about the launch of the new CyberSangha website. Until the site goes live, you can learn more about Rinpoche's Facebook Live teachings, review schedule updates, and access translations, archives and the discussion group at this link:
