A one-day workshop on shamata taught by Lama Karma Drodhul at Luna Dorada in Bogota, Colombia, turned into an online workshop with wide participation across Latin America last weekend (March 3).
Lama Karma’s meditation instructions were webcast in their entirety, free-of-charge via facebuda.org, and approximately 160 more people participated online from countries including Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Spain, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Peru, United States and Brazil. This opened access to the workshop well beyond the 100 people attending the workshop in person at the center in Bogota. A chat forum was available throughout the all-day webcast to provide technical support, and served as well as a channel for remote participants to direct questions to Lama Karma during the question-and-answer session.
Over 100 people watched his evening talks, also translated into Spanish and webcast via facebuda. Facebuda is a virtual space, inspired by His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, that offers access to the Buddhadharma to Spanish speakers free of charge through videos and videoconferences.
