Tenzin Palkyi expresses interest in visiting Thailand in either December or January, provided they receive holiday time from their employer, V Bu Buddhist (00:00:00).
- Professional Background: Tenzin Palkyi balances a full-time position at V Bu Buddhist with passion projects in film production, which involves recruiting actors and managing finances (00:03:26).
- Film Industry Projects: Tenzin Palkyi was involved in the Dhala International Film Festival and is currently working on a film titled “Empathy: The Pursuit of Joy,” which is a Los Angeles-based production expected to be released next year. Jivak Maitrey mentions that they previously produced a film called “Kasuri the Musk,” which was showcased at the 2019 Dhala festival (00:04:28).
- Trainer Strategy and Expansion: Tenzin Palkyi discusses the goal of finding alternative trainers to supplement their current program, noting that masterclasses are expanding to organizations in Zongsar and Nanari in addition to existing collaborations with Three Ratna (00:05:24).
- Facilitator Selection: Tenzin Palkyi proposes working with Rahul on future masterclasses while also looking for a new facilitator, specifically mentioning an appreciation for the communication style of an individual named Yoges, whom they plan to approach if a new trainer is required (00:06:13).
- Administrative and Signatory Authority: Jivak Maitrey confirms that they and Dashan serve as the individuals with the authority to sign budgets and official documentation for the collaboration with Three Ratna (00:07:09).
- Collaboration with Nagloka: Tenzin Palkyi suggests moving the masterclass to Nagloka due to a recommendation from a team member, noting that Lok Mitra is the head of the Nagloka organization (00:08:16). Jivak Maitrey clarifies that Lok Mitra focuses on the Nagloka project and the Manuski project in Pune, and while Lok Mitra is updated on these discussions, they are currently occupied with family travel to the United Kingdom (00:14:36).
- Budgetary Concerns and Timeline Feasibility: Tenzin Palkyi reports that the current budget has exceeded expectations and suggests that hosting the event at Nagloka might help alleviate financial pressure. Jivak Maitrey outlines a busy schedule for the coming months, including a walk from Varanasi to Bodh Gaya in September and a trip to Mount Kailash in October, suggesting that a December or January timeline would be more feasible for future events (00:09:19).
- Event Scheduling: Jivak Maitrey notes they have a program scheduled from mid-December to mid-January that involves a team of Thai monks and a 15 to 20-day walk, which will restrict their availability during that period (00:17:57).
- Venue Selection for July: Regarding the masterclass scheduled for July, Jivak Maitrey states that they are proceeding with the Lonala venue because they have already invited participants and the retreat center has already blocked the dates. Jivak Maitrey indicates that changing the venue at this stage would require significant logistical work, including contacting all participants to change the arrangements (00:15:50) (00:22:44).
- Financial Responsibilities and Funding: Tenzin Palkyi highlights financial difficulties following the loss of Bharti funding, particularly regarding the need to cover staff salaries for the team hired to work on the course (00:19:58). Jivak Maitrey clarifies that Three Ratna expects participants to cover their own personal travel costs, while their group will handle accommodation, food, on-ground expenses, and the printing of course materials (00:19:00).
- Course Administration and MOU: Tenzin Palkyi requests that the Memorandum of Understanding be signed by the end of the week, which is a requirement for finalizing posters and officially removing Rahul from the project (00:25:04). Tenzin Palkyi also confirms that their coordinator has sent an email containing all necessary information for accessing the course and completing the associated quizzes (00:26:09).
- Organizational Independence: Jivak Maitrey explains that Nagloka operates as an independent entity with its own committee, trustees, and members, separate from the Three Ratna organization. Jivak Maitrey further notes that Three Ratna members have the autonomy to conduct events, such as the art festival and masterclasses, using their own funds and resources rather than relying on contributions from other organizations (00:28:21).
- Future Collaboration and Communication: Tenzin Palkyi plans to continue communicating via WhatsApp and intends to send a representative from their office to Pune to visit the location in person and finalize the details of the collaboration (00:13:34) (00:21:39).

Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. All right.
Jivak Maitrey: He's going to his son to meet his son in UK. Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. All right.
Jivak Maitrey: So he already knows everything about this and and he was
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay.
Jivak Maitrey: also happy about uh shifting it uh the master class to Nagloka. Uh but uh because of the date I mean uh it's up to us. I mean if we can still manage from uh 3rd July to 7th July,
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: it can still be shifted to Nagloka and
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes.
Jivak Maitrey: uh
Tenzin Palkyi: What about like from at least like a second week like from 15 it will be difficult from 15 of July in Nakoloka?
Jivak Maitrey: there is a retreat going on that which is already published and and uh to be very frank we already started telling people about this uh uh
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: Lonola venue and uh already started inviting and speaking to them. Uh
Tenzin Palkyi: Even if it's like from third,
Jivak Maitrey: so
Tenzin Palkyi: what about from 6th of July?
00:16:52
Tenzin Palkyi: That's his family's birthday.
Jivak Maitrey: 6th of July we'll have to check the dates availability of nagloka
Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah. So that's why I feel like it's much better if in case like we can come down uh if we
Jivak Maitrey: uh
Tenzin Palkyi: can like personally meet in Nakuloka. Dr. Chok how do you feel about that and then all of us can meet have a thorough discussion of everything?
Jivak Maitrey: Okay.
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes.
Jivak Maitrey: But uh I mean the same dates I don't think it is because we already tried with try to talk with people who have organized that retreat uh teachers retreat and yeah there is
Tenzin Palkyi: Oh.
Jivak Maitrey: uh like we wanted to ship them to another building.
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: There are number of buildings dur uh premises but uh there is some
Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah.
Jivak Maitrey: work going on in that building. So I think it is difficult and then finally after inquiring everywhere uh I mean tashan he proposed nagloka
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm. Yeah.
Jivak Maitrey: first but then after inquiring yeah he yes
00:17:57
Tenzin Palkyi: is very with Nakaloka as
Jivak Maitrey: yes after inquiring I making all inquiries he of the opinion that we
Tenzin Palkyi: well.
Jivak Maitrey: should go ahead with uh lonola center only this time and
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: as I said maybe like from November November, December, January, February.
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: Four months are good in No like we can have like in January or February.
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: I mean I don't have any program at present for next year. uh not in December.
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: I mean uh I get this Thai monks team
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: every mid December till mid January and yeah we go on
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. All right. Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: walk with them.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay.
Jivak Maitrey: Yeah for 15 to 20 days.
Tenzin Palkyi: Um.
Jivak Maitrey: So but after January or maybe in February there won't be any
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: issue. Huh.
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes.
Jivak Maitrey: But only problem is now we already spoke with people. We made the list on our individual basis and we already invited them
00:19:00
Tenzin Palkyi: Uhhuh.
Jivak Maitrey: actually with the venue.
Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah. Yes sir.
Jivak Maitrey: Huh?
Tenzin Palkyi: So the concern is mostly on the budget part from our side as well. So Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: I mean work budget because you you need to spend for your travel
Tenzin Palkyi: Uh
Jivak Maitrey: and uh more than that I don't think I don't see any like uh you know expenses on
Tenzin Palkyi: like
Jivak Maitrey: your part. And we are uh we are happily like uh looking
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: after the accommodation thing and then you know food as well as uh on ground expenses and as I spoke
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: to you uh like we are we will print the material also.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay.
Jivak Maitrey: Okay.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. Okay.
Jivak Maitrey: So I mean uh realistically when I see
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Jivak Maitrey: the budget on your part is just your personal traveling
Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah. But then we also have to pay the fee uh not fee of now if in case Rahul is not
00:19:58
Jivak Maitrey: expenses.
Tenzin Palkyi: there but apart from that like the salary that our staff members are currently getting we also need to include that as well. And it's we have hired like a whole
Jivak Maitrey: Hello.
Tenzin Palkyi: Oh yeah.
Jivak Maitrey: Hello. Yeah. Uh I could not hear you for some time.
Tenzin Palkyi: Hello.
Jivak Maitrey: Yeah. Yes. Go
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes, my light went so the Wi-Fi also got Yes.
Jivak Maitrey: on.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. And yeah, we also hired like a whole to work on the course itself. So it is quite difficult from our end because um earlier when we had this idea of master class we were of the opinion that we keep providing all the materials
Jivak Maitrey: Mhm.
Tenzin Palkyi: and of course like the organizing team who's handling uh the collaboration we doing like
Jivak Maitrey: Mhm.
Tenzin Palkyi: that uh organization should actually like hold all the financial responsibilities uh and then the program yes we will do it we will manage it but that's how like We first begin this collaboration but now when it like shifted with Barti funding not receiving the Bharti funding and everything that became
00:21:39
Jivak Maitrey: Yes. Yes. Yeah. Mhm.
Tenzin Palkyi: difficult on our end because as I've mentioned this is not like the only master class that we're going to do
Jivak Maitrey: Of
