Details

• Opening and Logistics: Participants gathered to begin the meeting, sharing updates on the weather in their respective locations and acknowledging attendance before starting the official discussion (00:00:00).
• Tree Ratna Collaboration - Pros: Tenzin Palkyi presented an analysis of the ongoing collaboration with Tree Ratna, noting key strengths such as the organization's strong community reach in Maharashtra, the provision of venue and logistics, and the professional credibility associated with Dr. Jiwak's endorsement (00:06:06).
• Tree Ratna Collaboration - Concerns: Significant challenges were identified, including an unsigned memorandum of understanding, inconsistent communication, and issues regarding funding following the decline of their foreign contribution regulation by the government (00:08:00).
• Tree Ratna Collaboration - Venue and Personnel: The team discussed frustrations regarding repeated venue changes (from Yashada, to Lonavla, to Nakoloka), the unilateral removal of trainer Rahul Dongre from the session, and the uncertainty surrounding participant headcount (00:09:10).
• Current Project Status Analysis: Abha Achal provided input that the situation is critical due to a lack of transparency and logistics support from the partner, observing that the V-Buddhist team is carrying 70% of the workload while facing issues that threaten project impact (00:10:15).
• Impact of Participant Fluctuations: Tenzin Palkyi highlighted that the target participant count has dropped from 200 to between 60 and 75, which diminishes the projected impact while leaving the financial and logistical burden on V-Buddhist unchanged (00:12:00).
• Financial and Planning Unstability: The team noted ongoing issues with branding costs, the lack of confirmed technical equipment like LED screens, and hesitation from Dr. Jiwak regarding the audience pool during recent course customization meetings (00:13:13).
• Partnership Options Review: The team considered three options: canceling, which was rejected to avoid damaging relationships; postponing to October; or proceeding only if a memorandum of understanding is signed within seven days, the venue is confirmed, Rahul Dongre is reinstated, and financial commitments are documented (00:15:52).
• Future Partnership Policy: Tenzin Palkyi established new procedural requirements for future collaborations, mandating that a memorandum of understanding must be signed before planning begins, venues must be locked in writing before public announcements, and any changes require formal written amendments (00:17:06).
• Decision Maker Clarity: Ngawang Trinley raised concerns regarding whether Dr. Jiwak possesses the actual authority to sanction budgets and finalize decisions for the organization or if leadership at a higher level needs to be engaged (00:18:32) (00:23:25).
• Strategic Shift to In-Person Engagement: Ngawang Trinley advised that relying on remote communication for this partnership is ineffective and risky, suggesting that sending a representative to visit the organization in person is necessary to clarify the situation and move forward (00:25:44) (00:29:48).
• Engaging Nagaloka Leadership: The team agreed to leverage a prior professional relationship with Loitra, the head of the organization, to resolve the uncertainty, planning to inform Dr. Jiwak of the intent to visit and meet with leadership (00:27:08) (00:34:43).
• Transparency and Profit Status: Ngawang Trinley emphasized the need to clarify if the project is intended to be for-profit or not-for-profit, noting that V-Buddhist operates on a non-profit basis and requires full financial transparency to proceed (00:36:58).
• Trainer Rahul Dongre Participation: Regarding the removal of Rahul Dongre, the team decided not to make their reinstatement a strict ultimatum, opting to navigate the situation with sensitivity to internal organizational dynamics while seeking clarity (00:39:14).
• Execution of In-Person Meeting Plan: The team finalized the strategy to contact Dr. Jiwak to inform them of the planned visit to Nagaloka to meet with Loitra, inviting Dr. Jiwak to join the discussion to ensure full alignment and resolve the collaboration status (00:30:46) (00:41:48).
• Course Certificate Signature Authority: Tenzin Palkyi introduced the need for certificate signatures for the online masterclass, with the team agreeing to include two signatures—one from a director and one from the course teacher—to provide the necessary professional authority (00:45:50).
• Certificate Certification Process: Menla Tsomo described the validation model for the certificates, which includes graded quizzes with an 80% passing threshold, followed by a five to seven-minute talk with the creators team to confirm completion (00:49:50) (00:56:13).
• Certificate Branding and Logo: The team decided to use the V-Buddhist logo on the certificates, as the course is currently a V-Buddhist initiative for the creators community, rather than a co-branded product (00:53:10) (00:55:16).
• Long-Term Community Council: Ngawang Trinley noted plans to form an independent council for the Buddhist Creators Community later in the year, which will allow for more open collaboration with external organizations and advisors (00:54:17) (00:56:13).
• Finalizing Certificate Design: Menla Tsomo and the team agreed to refine the user interface of the certificate, with Ngawang Trinley suggesting a bolder design approach once colors and logos are finalized with professional design assistance (00:57:15).
• Visual Element Adjustments: Ngawang Trinley advised Menla Tsomo to adjust the size of certain color elements in the course material to ensure they appear deliberate rather than accidental (00:59:11). Tenzin Palkyi acknowledged this directive (00:59:47).
• Image Credit Implementation: Norbu Tsering requested clarification on whether to add specific credits for each picture used in the course, noting that their primary focus is currently on interactive video components, quizzes, and formatting (00:59:47). Ngawang Trinley confirmed that they must add the credits to ensure proper attribution (01:01:16).
• Course Terminology Customization: Norbu Tsering suggested replacing the word “monks” with “digital sa” based on a suggestion from Tela, as the course participants are primarily laypeople. Ngawang Trinley instructed the team to research and use the specific vocabulary preferred by the actual participants rather than relying on generic terms, suggesting that they utilize AI tools to identify correct terminology (01:02:09).
• AI-Assisted Content Research: Norbu Tsering and the team reported that they have been using Gemini to research topics and generate the top 20 titles for course videos by uploading workbooks. Ngawang Trinley recommended that the team create a comprehensive document listing all materials and proposed updates, aiming for at least a 10% update baseline, to ensure a systematic approach to customization (01:03:06).
• Feedback from the Pune Team: Menla Tsomo stated that the team is granting the Pune team access to the existing course to provide direct feedback for necessary changes, rather than relying solely on AI. Ngawang Trinley reiterated the value of creating a structured suggestion document to guide this process, as they cannot guarantee the Pune team's expertise in educational training or marketing (01:04:15).
• Abhidhamma Project Timeline: Tenzin Palkyi and Ngawang Trinley discussed that plans for the Abhidhamma project need to be finalized by the following day, noting the involvement of Pali scholars in the process (01:05:36).
• Nagaloka Coordination: Tenzin Palkyi and Ngawang Trinley agreed to coordinate regarding the Nagaloka collaboration, with plans to communicate with Dr. Devak and others associated with the institution (01:06:36).
• Selection of Personnel for Nagaloka Trip: The team discussed who would travel to Nagaloka, with Norbu Tsering volunteering to go. Tenzin Palkyi expressed concern about scheduling conflicts due to a planned retreat, while Abha Achal noted that their participation depended on having clear information (01:07:24). Tenzin Palkyi emphasized the need for clear documentation for the account section regarding the visit (01:08:20).
• Clarification of Leadership Roles at Nagaloka: The team engaged in a discussion to clarify the identity and role of Loka Mitra within the Nagaloka organization (01:09:20). Yash Dixit attempted to research the organizational hierarchy to determine if Loka Mitra holds a directorship or administrative role, as the team sought to understand the appropriate point of contact (01:10:24). Tenzin Palkyi and the team decided to consult with Sangala to obtain better insights into the origins of the partnership (01:09:20).
• Logistics for Nagaloka Travel: The team discussed travel logistics, noting that reaching Nagaloka would require an overnight trip from their current location, a distance estimated at approximately 600 kilometers (01:13:59).
• Team Updates and Personal News: Tenzin Palkyi shared that Sangala and Namakla were recently married in a ceremony that included both Tibetan traditions and a vow exchange (01:15:53).
• Trainer Selection and Collaboration: Tenzin Palkyi discussed the plan to involve Rahul in the organization of the event in Nagpur to avoid offense, while also proposing the recruitment of a third trainer (01:16:48). Yash Dixit and Tenzin Palkyi discussed the potential of recruiting Yogish, a banker, to serve as a trainer, citing their professionalism and humble demeanor (01:17:49).
• Facility Requirements and Yoga Programming: The team reviewed facility requirements, confirming they would request chairs and tables rather than utilizing yoga mats for the sessions. Regarding the proposed yoga sessions from Dr. Ger, Tenzin Palkyi decided that attendance should be optional, as the team did not intend to participate in the full schedule of intensive yoga activities (01:18:35).
• Accessibility Considerations for Participants: Menla Tsomo advised the team to thoroughly evaluate accessibility needs for participants, including identifying those with physical mobility challenges or specific dietary requirements, noting that these factors were overlooked in previous sessions (01:19:34).
• Scheduling the Next Follow-up Meeting: Tenzin Palkyi coordinated with the team to schedule a follow-up meeting at 2:00 p.m. to finalize pending details and track progress (01:21:41).

Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. Uh so I'll just directly share my screen and then proceed
Ngawang Trinley: Mhm.
Tenzin Palkyi: with the meeting. Okay. Is it visible? Okay. All right.
drongbu lobsang: Yes.
Tenzin Palkyi: Uh so yesterday we had a 10 sprint meeting and after the meeting itself uh we had a discussion about a few concerns that are raising with three ratna collaboration and
drongbu lobsang: All
Tenzin Palkyi: after the meeting we were advised if in case we can do like a pro and con section as well as with the three options about what the team can do afterwards. So going with three uh going with each of the options that we have uh we have made a decision analysis with also with all the pros and cons and first one is reasons to continue the collaboration along with three ratna. Uh the first pro that we have is that tree ratna has a really strong community reach in Maharashtra especially when they already have an audience pool and in the weight section I have written high medium and critical as well and then I have also given score and swam community reach in Maharashtra and apart from that they also have like uh they're also providing the venue and on logistics which is handled by triatna if in case we do go ahead with the collaborations s and that also saves we significant efforts as we have seen

00:08:00

Tenzin Palkyi: uh how much time it takes with accommodations and then food during the greatest convention and then brand visibility in Pune Buddhist community. uh it will be really good if in case we do continue this collaboration and also be good for future master classes as well as as well as future collaboration for we Buddhist and we also know that customization sessions have already started on 15 of May and from the core side work is also partially done so this is we should also take this into consideration and final one is Dr. Jiwak is a very respected figure not just in the Buddh Puni community but then also in the divine community as well and also in the arts field as well. So his endorsement will definitely add credibility to our brand as well. So these are the pros and the reason to continue this collaboration with treat tree ratna. And now coming to the con center why like there are certain reasons to pause or even reconsider this collaboration. First one is uh the memorandum of understanding has still been unsigned and they told me like they're still doing lots of delayed responses.

00:09:10

Tenzin Palkyi: So earlier it was supposed to be um signed during one week earlier but now they have again responded saying that they only be able to sign on 21st of May. And now second one is we have first discussed about doing the collaboration with BI funding where TRANA is going to take care of all the funding and now later on we got to know that they didn't receive the funding on top of that tree ratna is also not in a place where they will be able to uh spend a lot of budget because they put FC has been uh declined from the government. So that also links to pressure about how the uh transparency within the organization and how they function as an organization as well. Now third one is they have also asked us to remove the trainer which is Rahul Dong after we have spoken and then communicated and communicated made posters and everything. Now they're in a situation where this they're saying that they don't want Rahul to be one of the uh facilitator during the session. And third one uh fourth one is venue has been changed several times.

00:10:15

Tenzin Palkyi: First it was uh Yashoda and then it was uh Lonavla then it was Nakoloka and now it came back to um so sorry I ordered something from Blinket and I think it came all right. uh they have changed the uh location several times and now fifth one is participants have dropped from 100 to 60 and now sometimes they're saying that sometimes it's 75 and now um earlier we were thinking that the target audience should be 200 first when we had this conversation uh I'm so sorry can you guys give me five minutes I'll be very back just five minutes I think they're calling me frequently I'm so
Ngawang Trinley: Okay.
Tenzin Palkyi: Ready?
Ngawang Trinley: Okay. Okay. So, I guess maybe uh Antel, are you there?
Abha Achal: Yes sir, I'm
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah. Yeah.
Abha Achal: here.
Ngawang Trinley: What what do you think about you know the whole situation?
Abha Achal: So situ situation is a little bit critical that yes actually they're not responding for anything as per this concern. Yeah, it's a critical where I'm also asking for a location for logistic and now they're denying for a like for logistic when they're denying and also not replying or they don't have any transparency and I personally feel if we going to continue over there so it will be much hustling for us and it will be more problematic for us because uh uh from our side it's like uh 70% and from their side it's 30%.

00:12:00

Abha Achal: So yeah, which is much critical for me as personal point of
Ngawang Trinley: I see. I see. So you you think basically the the way it's happening,
Abha Achal: view
Ngawang Trinley: you know, probably I mean the main thing is we need to know if they actually want this to happen or not. If they don't want it to happen, there's no point, you know, for us to keep uh you know, pushing, right?
Abha Achal: uh CVS actually they are just uh arranging this things but they don't have any idea about this impact. So I think this is just they are arranging things but they are not very like focusing on it.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. All right. I'm back.
Ngawang Trinley: Give me this.
Tenzin Palkyi: So,
Ngawang Trinley: Uhhuh.
Tenzin Palkyi: okay. I'll continue on it. I'm so sorry about this one. So, first when we had this conversation with tree ratna, we had the idea that uh in yashada institute we will be able to host 200 participant. So when it comes to 200 we thought a lot about the impact of how much impact that we can create in Pune and then later on when Bharti funding didn't go through we had the discussion with Ratana saying that they're going to have it in Lunavla where they're going to reduce it to 100

00:13:13

Tenzin Palkyi: and now like during the recent meeting that we had doing on Friday along with me uh Chan and then Ajanaya uh Dr. Jark has mentioned that from 100 they're going to reduce it to 60. So now looking at the count um when we look at the count itself of course like the impact is also like going to be uh much lesser. On top of that um like the headcount of course it might seem lesser on their side because logistics accommodations and then food and catering will be less on their side but on VUDA side the financial burden is still on the rise. It's it hasn't reduced down. So but then on Monday meeting they again said that uh 60 to 75 so there are still very unstable numbers which affects all the planning from our end as well and on top of that during Friday we have requested them because they told us that for accommodation they're going to ask all the participants to at least donate like 3,000 that's like the minimum requirement that they're going to keep and then on top of that uh they're saying that if in case like uh they do ask for this accommodation fee like they're going to have at least like an income source of income that is going to come to Triakna but for V Buddhist side it's still like uh we're still on the loss for this this side and because of this reason Jo Jordan has actually raised

00:14:36

Tenzin Palkyi: this issue if in case like uh tree ratna can take care of the branding cost detail and uh in theou we have made the changes and we have sent it again but then they still declined it saying that the cost is still very high on their side even though it's still like high higher on our side as well. And then no LED screen has been confirmed. They said that it's going to be very difficult during that time of the month uh because it's a time of the year because it's rainy season over there and then uh like they said that it'll be very difficult. We have to bring trucks and all they were saying and only like a projector but then they're still unsure without like backdrop will be there or not. And on Monday uh not on Monday but on Friday we had this meeting with Fri Ratna where we had like the first course customization meeting and during that time uh I think one of the facilitator itself Yokesh Debbanker who's going to take up the session on AI he asked the question about the audience pool itself which I requested Dr. Jak to answer it and during that time Dr. Ja was still a little hesitant and unsure what to answer about the audience pool even though they told us not to worry too much and not to focus too much on marketing because they already have like a set of audience that they

00:15:52

Tenzin Palkyi: have. So looking at the score uh looking at the score itself the pro comes to like 18 out of uh 7 out of 18 and then uh cons is much much more which is 14 out of 18. And now these are the like three options that we have kept after like a conversation from yesterday within the spend itself. Now the first option is to cancel which I like personally don't recommend because and also like the whole team also don't recommend because work has already work already done is lost but then on top of that uh the relationship that we have created with tree right now also might damage. So this is not recommended within the whole team. And then now second option is to postpone it. We might have to delay it to October or any other months. and we can send a final form uh final formal email with clear conditions for them to um make sure that they sign theou within like one week of time and then also make sure that they are following the personalization course properly as well and making sure that they responded responding to our ask as well and then at the same time explore other alternative solutions where we can collaborate collaborate with other uh organization.

00:17:06

Tenzin Palkyi: So if in case we do this it might protect the relationship uh while also protecting V with this and then this is what the team consesses and then what uh the team has recommended yesterday and now uh this is like the third option only if the MOU is signed within 7 days and then venue is like certainly confirmed uh Rahul is reinstated and then all financial communication commitments and communications are locked in in writing only then that we are going to move forward uh tree ratna. So this is the team recommendation. Uh we need to send a final transparent email to tree ratna immediately and then we need to give them one clear opportunity to commit properly and if in case they do not respond with a clear clarity on signing the new trainer within 7 days we can proceed with the postponement. So this is what we do need to inform you and uh yesterday we had the sprint retrospective as well and I also like to inform this to the whole team since this is also our first time we also are learning from our experiences and like for new policy for any future partnership requirements um we have decided thatou must be signed before any planning work begin and venue should definitely be confirmed and locked in in writing before dates are communicated like publicly and then financial commitments from

00:18:32

Tenzin Palkyi: both parties must be documented with specific amounts and deadlines as well and any changes to participant numbers, venues or even um uh with venue dates after signing theou will require writing an uh will require a written amendment itself and if is unsigned after 30 days from first draft the collaboration is the collaboration is automatically paused. So this is what we need to inform you.
Ngawang Trinley: Um okay I have a few comments on this. So the the first thing is do we know actually who makes decisions there because Dr. is not uh you know from Nagar right
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: is he from there is he is he a decision maker is he
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes. So currently
Ngawang Trinley: like you know someone who can actually decide what project they do uh where they put
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes. So Dr.
Ngawang Trinley: money
Tenzin Palkyi: Gwork has been like the point of contact from the beginning itself and after that first initially it was Dr. Gwok and then later on Huh?
Ngawang Trinley: no that's my Yeah,
Tenzin Palkyi: Later we specify.

00:19:52

Ngawang Trinley: that that's not my question. Yeah. Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: Thank no what what I'm basically my question
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: is uh because we're talking about collaboration people someone needs to decide uh you know per location and you know uh you know to put some budget basically. Yeah. And so this in as in any organization you know it has to be you know the director or you know board or something like this. Yeah. So uh from my understanding the regak is more like you know a kind of adviser or someone who is external to uh you know the actual place that is going to host. Yeah. So yeah my question is do we know actually who is the decision maker who has uh you know the power to uh you know make the final decision on the location and budget. Do we know who who is it
Tenzin Palkyi: No sir. So Dr.
Ngawang Trinley: ina?
Tenzin Palkyi: Jiwak has been the point of contact from the beginning itself.

00:20:54

Tenzin Palkyi: He has been the one who has been sanctioning the budget from Triatna site and also been the one who has been like going around and then checking all the locations and getting back to us.
Ngawang Trinley: Okay. Okay. So but does he have uh you know what is his you know role in the if he's representing Karatna is he actually someone you know who has the power to you know sanction a budget and you know decide on location etc inn or or is there someone else you know who is
Tenzin Palkyi: uh
Ngawang Trinley: actually more senior to him who makes these decisions that's my
Tenzin Palkyi: so Dr. You work along with T dashan T dashan sir told me that he is also like one of the ex director of Nakaloka that's why like when we shifted that place to Nakaloka he was very firm that in Nakaloka it'll be much better but now that Nakaloka is not one of the um this place that we're going to have this session at but along with Tian and Dr. Did you work? There were this two person that we have been having all the communications.

00:22:00

Ngawang Trinley: So, uh, okay. Okay. So, now I'm still confused on one thing. So, basically, um, uh, it is still, you know, is it right now or Nagamoka that's, you know, organizing this? So is you know uh um yeah Dr.
Tenzin Palkyi: It's it's
Ngawang Trinley: Is he representing you know Nagaloka or is he representing you know which which is is it the Nagaloka or is it different organization
Tenzin Palkyi: so tree ratna have many different centers and nagaloka is one of the center under
Ngawang Trinley: okay okay so basically if it's now my understanding is that the head of
Tenzin Palkyi: it.
Ngawang Trinley: Trinata is loiter right is Is Loamra isn't it Loitra who's the head of uh map Angel? Yes. Are you familiar with that or you're not?
Yash Dixit: uh no like uh we like whatever we know is like Dr. Jak is the main point of contact and he is the one who sanctioning everything and who is changing everything and on the behalf like when he was in Tibetan China and uh Dr. T Dashan was seeing all these things like that's all we know about Nala.

00:23:25

Ngawang Trinley: Okay. Okay. So, I mean the point of contact and the actual decision maker is very different. So, our point of contact is Dr. Zak, but we don't really know if he's actually the real decision maker or not, right?
Jordhen Tenzin: Angela can I say something uh like uh last last time we had a meeting with uh Dr. Jiwak and uh Darens sir and at that time you know uh the prior conversation was like we are going to move it to Nagaloga but during the meeting I I had a feeling that maybe Dr. Jag is the decision maker because during the meeting we said you know it will be challenging because of the time uh you know because it's going to be happen uh in early July right and we we mentioned it's going to be a challenge and he said then no problem you know we can do it uh uh to the previous venue so during the same meeting I had this feeling maybe he is the decision maker he made he said it right Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: Okay. Okay.

00:24:29

Ngawang Trinley: So, I mean just like having feelings uh yeah having feelings is not good enough, you know, for me.
Jordhen Tenzin: When he made it,
Ngawang Trinley: We really need to know.
Jordhen Tenzin: does he hide in front of his
Ngawang Trinley: No, no, this is fine. Of course, as far as we are concerned,
Jordhen Tenzin: uh
Ngawang Trinley: since is our point of contact, of course, is going to make decisions, but we we don't know. I I mean from the going back and forth and not being not not being decided etc. It doesn't seem like actually maybe he doesn't have like you know enough power or is not like the main person in charge.
Jordhen Tenzin: wait?
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah. Okay. So that that's the first thing. So basically uh maybe we need to see actually where to escalate uh who to talk and you know basically get like you know a clear uh you know ide. Okay. So that that's my first question and my I have an observation which is that I mean we know this from you know organizing the previous um uh you know conventions is that you know unless we have people actually who go in person meet you know go on location meet with people it's very difficult to actually do anything uh so doing anything from distance uh like I think in any Buddhist community like you know Tibetan community same thing you can keep calling people sending messages etc. Unless you are sitting in front of them you know drinking some tea and actually discussing nothing is going to

00:25:44

Ngawang Trinley: move forward right so I think actually from our side you know however messy etc decision may be I think from our side we made a very big mistake not to actually go in person and you know actually go and meet the people and you know see uh you know how things are so I'm not sure that just like you know still from distance I you know to try to push to have like you know I mean give a deadline to have like an MOU etc you know signed without actually going and meeting the right people I'm not sure it's you know really realistic and going to make any difference right uh I mean I know this personally like you know working with monasteries or even like you know in baya until we went into talk to the people see you know who's that the decision maker etc wasn't you know firm distance from the phone etc or online meetings it was really difficult to you know get anything moving right so what I would suggest is actually to send someone in person uh since it's three now um you know uh I mean as far as the internet information on the internet it seems that the main dec I mean the main like spiritual guide at least is Loitra uh I would actually I think we should send someone to meet with Loitra discuss um uh you know things and then just like see you know have a final decision Yeah.

00:27:08

Ngawang Trinley: That that that's what I would suggest. What do you
drongbu lobsang: I I have a question.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: think?
drongbu lobsang: You go directly go and meet that person without telling the person who is you are contacting. No.
Ngawang Trinley: No, no,
drongbu lobsang: Is that strange?
Ngawang Trinley: no. All this context started with actually logitra. I had a discussion with logitra. That's how actually we you know we our first contact did contact you know before the uh creators convention was loiter who is the head uh you know of the organization and he pointed us to um you know t darson and you know these people the people we invited actually at the convention.
drongbu lobsang: Okay. Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.
drongbu lobsang: That means you are asking them to send a person directly to him not the doctor
Ngawang Trinley: Yes.
drongbu lobsang: whatever the
Ngawang Trinley: Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. since it's you know at first it wasn't going to be true right now right it was like the university in Pune

00:27:56

drongbu lobsang: jivak
Ngawang Trinley: so that's why I didn't say anything so if it's university in Pune okay so that's you know like the university discussion etc but it seems like Dr. So that is not going to work there. So he tried like you know with right. Yeah. So if it's withna we should you know go directly to the head of trirata and you know go there. If you know ask him if he's not the right person I mean spiritually he's the most senior uh if like you know administratively he has other people then okay then just tell us you know which door to knock which person you know to go to see and we basically just like you know whether they like it or not we you know sit on the chair in front of their office and and until we have like a proper discussion right that that's how I do you know with Tibetan monasteries I just go there go in the
drongbu lobsang: So
Ngawang Trinley: office and wait until I have like a proper inerson discussion and then you know then we can make decisions and move move forward.

00:28:59

drongbu lobsang: that just like you know just imagine if one of those guys go to see the the mitra the
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.
drongbu lobsang: shir mitra without like do you need to inform first Dr.
Ngawang Trinley: Loc. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
drongbu lobsang: Ja and then if it is okay then first possible like
Ngawang Trinley: Of course. Win from Dr. Jak. Yeah.
drongbu lobsang: a go with him go along with him to the shimitra that is the best
Ngawang Trinley: If he's Yeah. If he's there,
drongbu lobsang: I think.
Ngawang Trinley: of course, that's even better.
drongbu lobsang: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: Yes, of course.
drongbu lobsang: Okay
Ngawang Trinley: But uh my point is we need we need to have to have someone who goes there in person,
drongbu lobsang: then.
Ngawang Trinley: talk to people, etc. Just like longdistance thing. I mean, it's just like long-distance relationship. Yeah, we know how you know in theory it works very well. In practice, it never works.
drongbu lobsang: Okay, that makes sense. Then present whatever happened till now.

00:29:48

Ngawang Trinley: Exactly. And I I think like if you're in person it changes everything you know whatever you know
drongbu lobsang: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: online you know longdist drama happen etc. you know you're in front of a person you're drinking tea you're you know handshake you can see whether the person is smiling nervous whatever you know exactly what's happening. Yeah. Uh and then you know maybe we don't you know all this drama we can just like you know forget right away. Maybe it's even worse than we thought you know but at least it situation will be much more clear right. So yeah uh BI think that would be much more effective uh than just like
drongbu lobsang: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: uh you know sending some u um ultimatum and saying you know we need an answer in seven weeks etc. I think this is recipe to you know just like uh get like you know bad uh relationships you know with other organizations right. Yeah.
drongbu lobsang: But then then you know they Dr. Jak your contact with the Dr. give up and suddenly he says oh I'm going to to meet your director you

00:30:46

Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah.
drongbu lobsang: know not your indirectly it's saying like you are not effective you know you are making us like not not going forward so you like we going up you know that is also something
Tenzin Palkyi: What?
drongbu lobsang: like kind of u not respectful whatever is just had
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah. No.
drongbu lobsang: a feeling like
Ngawang Trinley: So no, no,
drongbu lobsang: that
Ngawang Trinley: but of course we should, you know, do it in a respectful way. Uh, so first like, you know, contact director Debak.
drongbu lobsang: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: We we don't need to ask him, you know, should we send someone, etc. We just say, okay, we have someone who's going there. Okay.
drongbu lobsang: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: And that person will be in Nagaloka. Okay. So, do you actually want to come and we go and meet people in person?
drongbu lobsang: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: Do you want to join? Or if he says, “No, I'm too busy.” Whatever. You say, “Okay, then we're going to go in Nagaloka and meet, you know, whoever um you know, we can to try to get like, you know, more clarity and, you know, get like, you know, things to move forward.” That's it.

00:31:45

Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.
drongbu lobsang: Somehow somehow somehow it may hurt also but some like you know to have a good result.
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah. Yeah, but I if you lang if you send an ultimatum saying in,
drongbu lobsang: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: you know, after 7 weeks, you know, we need to reinstate uh um uh uh you know, Rahul Dongre that probably already has like some big problems, you know,
drongbu lobsang: Yes.
Ngawang Trinley: with him.
drongbu lobsang: Yes. Yes. Yes.
Ngawang Trinley: This is going to this is going to hurt,
drongbu lobsang: Yes.
Ngawang Trinley: I think, even more. Yeah.
drongbu lobsang: Yeah. Yeah. I want I I want Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: And you know long distance hurts even worse than in person
drongbu lobsang: I want Yeah. I'm not saying that it's very bad but somehow like some in a both way we are hurting like some other people but somehow it is a good way to have like you know to go forward rather than sending messages and all. I agree with your point completely. Yeah.

00:32:34

drongbu lobsang: Okay.
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes. Um I have a feeling that Dr. Gwok has always it's this is like a Dr. Jok project that he has proposed to tree ratna. Uh because Dr. you I I'm fine. I'm today only I'm getting to know about lo what was the name Lok Mitra like the from the beginning itself if in case
Tenzin Noryang: Omegra.
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.
drongbu lobsang: Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: it was very clear from the person who first had this collaboration with it would have been much easier because um we had always been in communication with Dr. He was the first person and I think he like proposed this project to tree ratna and now this is like a project because not only is he doing this type of project as well he's also doing other projects such as like this organ art festival as well which is going to happen in August so these are like the projects that he's having with collaboration with tree ratna tree ratna is sometimes bagging but I feel like he's always the sole authority but from what gentle I've suggested I

00:33:38

Ngawang Trinley: Oh, here we
Tenzin Palkyi: definitely try to reach out to that to Dr. Gwak and also ask him for uh Nagaloka direct director the head can you please let me know the name again loitra nak mitra
Ngawang Trinley: Logit. Yeah. Loitra.
Tenzin Palkyi: lo yes
Ngawang Trinley: So um Norang I think like um I think you were actually
Tenzin Palkyi: yes
Ngawang Trinley: in the first call we had with the you know T daran you know and uh the other
Tenzin Palkyi: uh no I was
Ngawang Trinley: people when the planning session you were not there okay anyway so that's fine it this doesn't really matter so basically we contacted them first you know uh for the you know to discuss about like you know uh uh giving them some seats you know for the convention, right? And so that's the first contact, you know, we had with him and basically I got in touch with loc because he was in Taiwan and actually my wife's uh dad you know I sent the picture saying you know he inaugurated there.
drongbu lobsang: Oh
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.

00:34:43

Ngawang Trinley: So he has been a very close collaborator and you know he found a lot of like you know sponsors for them
drongbu lobsang: yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: uh for Nagaloka for many many years. Okay. He's a a Buddhist scholar who's like very close friend, you know, with their community and has been supporting them a lot. Yeah. And so anyway, so yeah, I met him for the first time last year uh in fall when we were planning for the the thing and I told him we're planning for that and so we'll contact you later and he said okay great and he told me okay just come by and you know we can you know meet and discuss more etc. Uh that's it. So with the the organization this time you know uh at the beginning it was with Dr. Dvak it wasn't going to be with right uh so I didn't mention anything about uh you know them because it's unrelated uh so but then when it got like you know with with no problem then no point you know to go and you know try to uh as you say out of respect for Dr. if he can handle manage everything okay let him do but now it seems that you know it's not that straight powers and so I think we should tell him that we have already like you know personal relationship with um Nagaloka yeah at least you know personally I met you know the head and I told him about like you know the app we're building etc and he said like you know maybe in the future we

00:36:05

Ngawang Trinley: should definitely collaborate okay so we should inform Dr. pretty that we have a personal relationship with them and we're planning to send someone uh you know to actually meet with them and if you want to come along that would be great that's it uh okay so once we are there so we should go anyway uh regardless of you know where what the decision final decision is I think we should go there yeah and the and the number one you know thing question I think we need to to get is, you know, are they organizing this for profit or not for profit? Yeah. Because we are doing this completely not for profit. Yeah. We're not interested in, you know, I mean, we're not trying to make money or whatever, you know, out of this. If it can be uh uh, you know, of course, if it can be self-sustaining and just like, you know, cover its own expense, you know, that's best. Uh, but we're looking for co-sponsors, you know, to to do it. That's it.

00:36:58

Ngawang Trinley: If they want to make it like you know a forprofit thing then we have to rethink the whole you know the whole thing right and and we need to have the transparency you know from the triata side because if the jivvak is doing it as a collaboration but also to try to respond you know on his side and maybe you know triadna want to do something different etc. This is something we need to know we need full transparency on that because we have already a prior relationship with triatna with the head of triata at least. Yeah that's it. Uh so I think we should just inform him that actually we have uh an a prior relationship with since now it is going to be you know whatever happens it seems like the only option is for now right uh for Dr. back. He doesn't have other options, right? Is it the case? Yeah. Okay, that's it. So, since the only option is with Tratna,
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes.
Ngawang Trinley: we should inform him we have like a prior relationship with and we just want to make sure that it's completely transparent and we are sending someone in Tratna to have discussions and make sure we all agree on you on things and that's it.

00:38:03

Ngawang Trinley: And uh once we have someone in in person there uh then we can just like you know clarify everything and regardless of decision we also want to you know discuss with them uh you know and see I think we should you know meet with uh loiter because he's the uh you remember the uh actually the designer who came first uh not tage um I forgot his Do you remember the the one who helped us with the material city?
Tenzin Palkyi: Udam s*****.
Tenzin Noryang: What I'm s*****
Ngawang Trinley: Utam. Yeah. Um is actually you know working very closely with um you know loitra he's kind of like you know the assistant of loiter you know for this. Yeah. So actually I I personally contacted um you know loamitra and he pointed to utam and t that's how actually we started you know to get uh in touch with them. Yeah. So I think we should go there. We should go back to meet Lameitra directly and then ask him you know who should we work with?

00:39:14

Ngawang Trinley: Is it you know you know Ted or is it like you know whoever and we need to understand a little bit better you know their relationship with um you know Dr. Jac. Yeah because we don't want to get into a mess. Okay that's it. And so as far as um uh what's his name? Uh Raul the involvement of Raul is concerned. Yeah. So this I I wouldn't actually push too much on one direction or the other because we don't really know what are the issues you know between the organizations. Okay. So it's just like you know for example you know to to give like an example of Tibetan context. So I don't know maybe it's not that bad but let's say for example we had like we are in touch with uh an influencer who is following Shuten. Yeah. and we give you know as a you know requirement that we need to have this certain influencer you know as part of the trainers of course they won't be able to accept right uh so I I think we have to respect also like you know whatever organizations I mean partner organizations you know like existing problems and relationships I mean good or bad relationships yeah I think we shouldn't like you know really you know push too much in one direction or the other so that's yeah that that's my take you know on

00:40:31

Ngawang Trinley: this side and so if it's like you know another organization who doesn't have problem with um uh you know Rahul okay no problem but yeah this part I I wouldn't you know make it as a requirement like if you don't reinet Rahul we don't this I wouldn't go that far uh yeah that's my my take on it That's
drongbu lobsang: I have to say something just like a I think before it's a kind of a delicate like when I heard from auntie was saying the relationship he has blah blah there's a like a kind of a loop there uh like kind of unc uncomfortable because you are contacting Dr. Jwak from the beginning and now the other came. So maybe it's good to know from Dr. Jwak you know what's his uh position did he get the like you know from the other the other the director did the director give him some like directions to organize the things if that is case it's easier you know you meet the Dr. Jak and then meet the director it sounds like okay that's fine or Dr. Jak he did he propose to the director that it's going to have something like this or he is organizing by himself it's nothing related to that whatever and he

00:41:48

Ngawang Trinley: Sure.
drongbu lobsang: said yeah so this information I think you need to know first from the Dr. Gwak itself did he propose to the them or
Ngawang Trinley: We we should we should tell we should tell Dr.
drongbu lobsang: they
Ngawang Trinley: fact that we already have a direct you know connection and relationship with um you know Nagalok I mean the you know Nagaloka people the head of Nagaloka right the head of triatna uh yeah loitra loitra is actually so loamitra is actually like you know uh the main uh disciple of um uh what was his name the British guy who was like you know basically the founder of care. Yeah, that's it. So basically I think we should tell uh Dr. Jac next time you you talk to him just tell him directly. Okay. So we actually we are in touch we have a personal connection you know with him since it's going to happen in Triadna regardless of location we need to you know we are going to send someone to talk with him just inform him of that I wouldn't ask for you know permission etc. We don't have to, right?

00:42:58

Ngawang Trinley: This is our our network. Yes. And so and we said, okay, so do you want to come or do you have anything, you know, to say about this? And you know, would you want to join or is there any, you know, what is your prior agreement? I mean, how did you got in in touch with them, etc., etc.? Yeah,
drongbu lobsang: Yeah. Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: that's
drongbu lobsang: Yeah. Just to I think from Dr. JW I think it's better if we know that is is it like he's doing it alone or he like he proposed to the director that he's going to organize something like this or the director give him that like you know like a direction to oh you can contact with this group and you can hold this uh the influencer
Ngawang Trinley: No, no. I mean, very clearly he he contacted them to ask about this. Yeah. Because at first it wasn't even, you know, on the table. It was going to be with the university, right?

00:43:48

drongbu lobsang: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: So
drongbu lobsang: Then I think it's it's think like it's if you know that information very clearly from
Ngawang Trinley: anyway,
drongbu lobsang: him then it's make easier for us to how to contact with the director you know then you can say okay we can like you know go go to the director and talk to him and maybe we can have some more fund or something like you know whatever you know whatever he has having problem you
Ngawang Trinley: yeah. Yeah. So yeah.
drongbu lobsang: know maybe the director can solve all those problems.
Ngawang Trinley: So by director director you're talking about loit right? Locra. Yeah.
drongbu lobsang: But that name is very
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah. Yeah. So yeah loitra. Yeah.
drongbu lobsang: strange.
Ngawang Trinley: So anyway so that's for me basically you know we shouldn't just you know ask uh I think I think we should inform uh Dr. Iraq that we are going since it's happening in uh uh you know in the triatna with triatna we should inform him that we're going to go and meet with them with loc because we have a close connection with him anyway.

00:44:51

Ngawang Trinley: Okay. So I would start the conversation like this. F.
drongbu lobsang: Okay.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay then.
drongbu lobsang: Okay, that makes
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. All right.
drongbu lobsang: sense.
Tenzin Palkyi: So, yeah, we need to find someone who's also going to go down and meet tree ratna
Ngawang Trinley: Sure.
Tenzin Palkyi: people.
drongbu lobsang: I go I go I pay my flight then I fly from here.
Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah, but it's true though.
drongbu lobsang: Let's complete
Tenzin Palkyi: It's always better to like meet those people and always sit down together and then have a discussion.
drongbu lobsang: it.
Tenzin Palkyi: That's that's very true. I mean in-person meeting is always much much better. uh the gandela. So I do have like this final thing we have to uh take a look at the certificate ka. So if in case we can come to that decision uh I know
Ngawang Trinley: Do you want me?
drongbu lobsang: And she's
Tenzin Palkyi: gender please it'll not take more than 5 minutes.
drongbu lobsang: busy.
Tenzin Palkyi: So if if in case we can come to the decision on this one.

00:45:50

Tenzin Palkyi: So once we're selling the uh not selling the course itself but once we have this course available
drongbu lobsang: Let
Tenzin Palkyi: uh we need to get confirmation on the signature. Sir, will it be possible if in case we can get your signature ka on the
Ngawang Trinley: Uh just signature for what?
Tenzin Palkyi: certificate sign now this is going to
Ngawang Trinley: Oh, for which
drongbu lobsang: this
Tenzin Palkyi: be like a flip classroom model and after like they finish the course itself the students will get a certificate and rather than asking Milan and Jamon to have the certificate because we're not only going to have this one master class but we're going to have several many So possible to customize the course as well.
drongbu lobsang: Norion, right?
Ngawang Trinley: over.
Tenzin Palkyi: So whose signature shall we keep over here?
drongbu lobsang: Legally, it's
Ngawang Trinley: No, no. So, no, no, no.
drongbu lobsang: Norian
Ngawang Trinley: But that that's not,
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: you know, if you you have the signature, the signature has to be, you know, from someone who actually is giving the course or testing or whatever, right?

00:46:50

Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: So
Ngawang Trinley: Uh I mean I can sign but it should be Yeah. Let me think about this. Basically, I think the best would be um
Tenzin Noryang: I think it makes more sense if it's from you because sheriff is like I registered under Canadian entity right doesn't matter.
Ngawang Trinley: this doesn't matter the legal entities, you know. Yeah, this has this completely unrelated. Yeah, the legal entities are just like, you know, basically an entity to pay salaries, right? Uh so here it's more about like you know the reason why we sign this is to give um you know authority
Tenzin Noryang: I'm
Ngawang Trinley: to the certificate right uh so so since it's a here
Tenzin Noryang: not
drongbu lobsang: or may maybe
Ngawang Trinley: it is the uh we influencer master class
drongbu lobsang: the person who
Ngawang Trinley: yeah so I think it's fine it could be me uh then as the founder of the we
drongbu lobsang: the
Ngawang Trinley: would or something like this
Tenzin Palkyi: All right. Okay.
drongbu lobsang: Or or maybe the person who give the the coach whatever the class teach the

00:47:59

Ngawang Trinley: Yeah. So, yeah,
drongbu lobsang: class.
Ngawang Trinley: this goes uh so usually you have like, you know,
Tenzin Noryang: What's
Ngawang Trinley: the director or something like this and then you have the person who did the the tester or whatever on the
Tenzin Noryang: this?
drongbu lobsang: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: bottom, right? Oh, there's only one signature.
drongbu lobsang: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: I see. It could be two signatures.
drongbu lobsang: Normally there are two
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: Uh,
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah,
Menla Tsomo: Uh yeah,
Tenzin Palkyi: no.
Ngawang Trinley: that's it. Yeah. Yeah.
Menla Tsomo: we have the option of adding
Ngawang Trinley: The director and then the tester. Yeah.
Menla Tsomo: more.
Ngawang Trinley: Sorry.
Menla Tsomo: We do have the option of adding more signature.
Ngawang Trinley: Sure. Sure. Sure. Yeah.
Tenzin Noryang: Sh.
Ngawang Trinley: I think two signatures would would make more sense.
Menla Tsomo: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: Uh so the person who did who who did the test if it's just completion that's one thing but
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.

00:48:39

Ngawang Trinley: uh are we not testing?
drongbu lobsang: Oh, I remember I when I did my uh that Sela course, it's like the the the the director of the organization and then the teacher Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: That's it. That's it.
Tenzin Palkyi: uh we are also going to give a certificate for the in-person session as well.
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah,
drongbu lobsang: Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: This is only for the online that's why.
Ngawang Trinley: sure.
Tenzin Palkyi: So when we when we are saying about teacher whose
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: signature
Ngawang Trinley: No, no. So I think the the thing is that the online the online one should actually have like you know um you know percentage we have like the exercises and tests etc. Yeah. And maybe there should be you know final thing you know someone like uh who actually checks and then we get the certificate right. Yeah.
drongbu lobsang: Yes,
Ngawang Trinley: And so that that whoever that person is,
drongbu lobsang: this the signature I remember the
Ngawang Trinley: you know, should uh you know, edit.
drongbu lobsang: cell the director signature is a print out but the teacher's signature is signed by himself because the teacher is on site also he teach online as well as onsite.

00:49:50

drongbu lobsang: So his signature is the the original he signed by himself and the directors from Cambridge. So it is the printed out. Yeah. Something like
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. All right. So the person who's going to check all the answers I mean Amela is currently making all the quizzes.
drongbu lobsang: that.
Tenzin Palkyi: So it will be Gentila and Ajamelas.
Menla Tsomo: Um actually uh do we need to check it out because uh we uh as of now the structure is uh like after each section we are
Tenzin Palkyi: No.
Menla Tsomo: considering of adding um graded quizzes and for the day seven we are thinking of putting a graded quizzes that quiz that will be the final test and uh we are also thinking of uh setting up a minimum grade like 80% or uh 80%. And anyone who score more than 80% will get the certificate. Yeah, that that's the model that we are planning to do and uh actually I think um uh we uh we came across uh like giving the uh certificate uh mainly to like select the uh job first come first.

00:51:11

Menla Tsomo: What was the model? uh pick I think yeah
Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah. First come, first model married base.
Menla Tsomo: because of that we are planning to like uh to select those uh student we can uh it can be done from the admin side by the help of the certificate. So that is why we came across uh like how the certificate should be and who should sign the certificate and all.
Ngawang Trinley: Okay. Okay. So, if it's a certificate of completion, that's one thing.
Menla Tsomo: Yeah. Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: If it's actually a certificate with the grade inside it,
Menla Tsomo: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: then I think this should be like, you know, this should have like, you know, the uh uh signature.
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: I mean, maybe we should have like, you know, uh you know a quick session you know to confirm or something like this to give actually the uh degree yeah or um the yeah certificate
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: of you know having passed or something like this yeah I'm not sure that just giving because you know if

00:52:12

Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: I do the course uh using or whatever and get like you know everything right yeah but actually don't know anything then we we cannot we can give a confusion you know thing but we
Menla Tsomo: Mhm. Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: cannot give like you know yeah so I think there should If we give certificates that confirms, you know, that they actually passed,
Menla Tsomo: Uh-huh.
Ngawang Trinley: you know, this, we should have like at least, you know, an interview or, you know, you know, quick session at the end to at least confirm that, okay, it's not just like, you know, AI that this thing and they actually know a little bit, you know, what, uh, yeah, they actually know the content, right? Something like this. Yeah. Anyway, yeah.
Menla Tsomo: And uh I'm so sorry.
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Menla Tsomo: Uh and the other concern is uh like uh what uh logo should we put like at the top
Ngawang Trinley: So so yeah the logo should be logo should be the weis logo because it's we course
Menla Tsomo: uh okay?

00:53:10

Ngawang Trinley: right it should be the we logo and so now now we're yeah if
Menla Tsomo: Uhhuh.
Ngawang Trinley: we um update the the logo then it should be the new logo but we still haven't finalized Yeah. Otherwise,
Menla Tsomo: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: just go with this one.
Menla Tsomo: Okay. And uh the other concern is normally what uh the logo at the top it is actually uh taken uh from is the logo of the partner. So currently in uh Sherup or the Buddhist course uh we have the lo uh for this course we have the logo of the Buddhist creators. So, are we going to change the logo or uh Oh,
Ngawang Trinley: No,
Menla Tsomo: what what what is the
Ngawang Trinley: no. So the course the the course is you know given by VIS and
Menla Tsomo: idea? Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: it's for for the um you know creators community right?
Menla Tsomo: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah that's it.
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: So for the the creators community creators community actually we want uh you know later this year we want to make it like you know independent uh you know basically have like you know kind

00:54:17

Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: of council or something like this uh you know for example the triaga chanting it
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: is uh one more actually started it yeah uh it's funded
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: mainly by her foundation the uh light of Buddha whatever lb whatever Yeah. Uh but uh you know the tributing has a council and this is the council that decides that make all the decisions who to invite how to organize and you know this kind of things right. Yeah.
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: So it's basically it's actually a community thing right and we want to do the same thing with uh
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: the uh you know the Buddhist creators community. Okay.
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: Uh so so basically here this course is not like you know a course given by the community. It's a course given by us for the community.
Menla Tsomo: Uhhuh.
Ngawang Trinley: So it should be branded you know uh uh yeah it should be like the we Buddhist branding and we can put that you
Menla Tsomo: Okay.

00:55:16

Menla Tsomo: Uh-huh.
Ngawang Trinley: know this course is you know offered to the uh Buddhist creators community right so basically the the Buddhist creators community will keep the same uh
Menla Tsomo: Okay. Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: you know logo but it's not a we Buddhist project so we Buddhist is just supporting the creators community okay that's
Menla Tsomo: Okay, that's okay. And uh in the certificate, do you suggest that uh we should have the Buddhist creators uh logo as well?
Ngawang Trinley: No, no,
Menla Tsomo: No. So uh it will be only uh the we Buddhist logo.
Ngawang Trinley: no. That's right. Because this is certificate we give.
Menla Tsomo: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: It's not like uh Yeah. So we, you know, later I mean once the uh uh you know later this month or maybe during the retreat or something like this, we can Yeah. we'll have to actually get started reach out to you know like potential you know collaborate I mean people who are
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: interested to be part of the Buddhist creators council so for the Buddhist creators community

00:56:13

Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: events yeah uh that's it so the uh Buddhist influencer of the year and Buddhist creators
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: convention we don't want it to be only relying on we Buddhists you see what I
Menla Tsomo: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: mean yeah uh so we want it to be like a little bit more open so other organization also you know can be part of Then we can get like, you know, some advisor and, you know, whatever. Yeah. That's it. Yeah.
Menla Tsomo: So then uh um you know what like we
Tenzin Palkyi: Mhm.
Menla Tsomo: like I think uh I think prepared the certificate.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay.
Menla Tsomo: So,
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes.
Menla Tsomo: yep.
Tenzin Palkyi: uh uh just as Kangela have mentioned of course like uh right after they complete the right after they complete the course itself they'll get the certificate and then from the creative team Yash Anchel and uh me we will discuss we'll try to reach out to those people and also have like at least like five to seven minutes talk with them to make sure that they have finished itself so we have finalized on the logo it's going to be view Buddhist and then signature is going to be

00:57:15

Ngawang Trinley: Sure.
Tenzin Palkyi: Gilas
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah,
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: that's good. Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: All right.
drongbu lobsang: What's that? Toy.
Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah. Aa, you have something to say. Did I mess
Menla Tsomo: I'm sorry I'm on mute. Okay.
Tenzin Palkyi: up?
Menla Tsomo: Uh one one more question. Gilla are you happy?
Tenzin Palkyi: Oh, I'm so Oh,
Menla Tsomo: Piga please can you?
Tenzin Palkyi: okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. This one. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
Menla Tsomo: Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah.
Menla Tsomo: Uh so Gandela I want to get more input uh regarding the the UI of this uh um certificate. Yep. So uh the one on the top is the existing certificate of uh yep uh we courses. Now uh the bottom one uh I assume it is prepared by uh uh bea. So which one should we like stick it?
Tenzin Palkyi: move forward. Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: Okay. Okay. I see.

00:58:17

Ngawang Trinley: So I think we should stick. So I mean for the the colors etc. So when do you need to finalize this week or today? Tomorrow when are we starting to give it basically?
Tenzin Palkyi: Today we
Menla Tsomo: Oh
Tenzin Palkyi: finalize
Ngawang Trinley: So because the the uh yeah now we you know we have like Mauricio like this brands
Menla Tsomo: yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: uh uh you know guy who's helping us. So we we'll have to finalize like you know the colors and uh the logo.
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: Uh so basically once the color and logo is there we probably will update.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay.
Menla Tsomo: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: Uh that's it. Yeah. But otherwise I think it's fine. I would actually, you know, put a little bit more of um, you know, right now you just have that there is a very small corner that is outside of the color block, right? I would actually be a little bit more bold right now. It looks like a mistake if you actually Yeah.

00:59:11

Ngawang Trinley: If you actually like, you know,
Menla Tsomo: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: uh um shrink a little bit like the color part or make it bigger. So you then it would look like something that actually is done on purpose, right?
Menla Tsomo: Uh-huh. Okay. Okay. Got it.
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah. So, so now it looks it might be a mistake.
Menla Tsomo: Uhhuh.
Ngawang Trinley: You're like maybe someone is a little bit too shy. Uh didn't Yeah.
Menla Tsomo: Okay. Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: You see what I mean?
Menla Tsomo: Uh-huh.
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.
Menla Tsomo: Uh-huh.
Ngawang Trinley: So I think it has to be big enough.
Menla Tsomo: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: The part that is not in the color area should be big enough so so it can see as something deliberate not like a
Menla Tsomo: Uh-huh.
Ngawang Trinley: mistake or something you know couldn't decide whether we do one way or the other right okay that's it
Menla Tsomo: Uh-huh.
Tenzin Palkyi: All right.
Ngawang Trinley: yeah so may maybe until the book or something like this yeah just like make it a little bit

00:59:47

Tenzin Palkyi: Okay.
Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Tenzin Palkyi: Thank
Ngawang Trinley: bigger so then then it looks like something that's deliberate yeah okay that's
Menla Tsomo: Okay. That's all.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay, someone is raising their hand. So, sorry. Say yes,
Norbu Tsering: It's me.
Tenzin Palkyi: please.
Norbu Tsering: It's me. Uh uh Gandh in the course customization I I have some question. Our main work our primary focus on like interactive video component quizzes formatting and personalization which we are doing right now. It's going accordingly to the timeline. However, apart from this, after uh recently reviewing the course together and there are few additional suggestion and revision raised by like team Peggy creators team and also Noella and everything within the course, there are few updates and refinement but we need some permission fully as per the Mela to from Gala also like there are few pictures that need proper credit to each picture used in the course like uh let me show you Gala quickly. There are some picture in the uh there some picture in the course like this one ga like Ranir Alabad's one right but we don't have like proper credit below since our course are like almost we are trying to sell it right I think putting credit is very important but we need some like uh permission should we go forward with this or not this one is first one yeah This is

01:01:16

Ngawang Trinley: s sorry I'm I I didn't really understand.
Norbu Tsering: the like there
Ngawang Trinley: Uh what do you need permission?
Norbu Tsering: are uh there are several we need uh like we want
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah,
Norbu Tsering: to ask Gala should we go with this one or not like
Ngawang Trinley: with this one
Norbu Tsering: putting credit putting credit to each picture.
Ngawang Trinley: for
Norbu Tsering: Since we are not at all you know putting up task on this one we are mainly working on
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah. Of of course we should of course we should put the credits.
Norbu Tsering: video.
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah. Uh just like you know any Yeah.
Norbu Tsering: Okay. Okay. Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: We should say that he comes from there.
Norbu Tsering: And also Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.
Norbu Tsering: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.
Norbu Tsering: I think this one is the main one. Then other one is I think we are all obviously revising some of the dollar related and and there are some word that this course is mainly for the monks right and there are a lot of repetition of word like monks within this course.

01:02:09

Norbu Tsering: So uh through our discussion we told that as per the uh the let's say it's for the puni pune right participant over there mostly like so uh tela suggested that why don't we replace m with like digital sa this is like one suggestion from tilea by tela
Ngawang Trinley: No, no, we we should I think if you're you know when we customize we should actually customize according to the vocabulary they use right the partners use and so right now the first thing you know if we
Norbu Tsering: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: can get like you know someone from their side uh you know to say you know what what do they refer to I think they
Norbu Tsering: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: they have like you know slightly different terms you know for their uh uh because it's mainly lay people they don't really have monks yeah they have le lay teachers and I don't know if they use the term
Norbu Tsering: Yeah.
Ngawang Trinley: teacher or something like this or uh but yeah but we should use you know their terminology of course yeah and so I'm sure if you ask like you know Gemini or whatever you'll get like

01:03:06

Norbu Tsering: Okay.
Ngawang Trinley: information about like you know the the terms that they use Right.
Norbu Tsering: Exact. Thank you.
Ngawang Trinley: Did did you guys actually did you guys actually you know start by just giving you know everything to
Norbu Tsering: I think
Ngawang Trinley: Gemini or whatever and uh you know give like a put together a document with description of you know which group it is you know where they are and you know whatever uh and just like
Norbu Tsering: Actually
Ngawang Trinley: to get some tips And I you know what should be customized.
Norbu Tsering: we we made uh I we me and Ber made a gem while we are researching on like uh topics you know important topics we are going to customize for the video particularly. So we uploaded every workbook in uh Gemini and we uh let the AI to you know give us like the top 20 titles to create the video for this course and everything for that only we use that but other than that
Ngawang Trinley: So please actually also have like you know something where you put all the material and you know get like you don't need to have AI to edit everything but at least like you know give you a list of you know what are what needs to be

01:04:15

Norbu Tsering: Bless
Ngawang Trinley: updated and you can say you know we're targeting to update you know 10% or whatever and you know what are in terms of vocabulary in terms of images, in terms of this and that, you know, what would you suggest that we adopt uh so it's more adaptive?
Norbu Tsering: you.
Ngawang Trinley: Uh yeah, because that's Yeah,
Norbu Tsering: Let's go.
Ngawang Trinley: I think that should always be the first step.
Menla Tsomo: Uh yeah and Gila regarding the examples and
Ngawang Trinley: Yep.
Menla Tsomo: the uh images uh we are actually um like waiting for the uh the Pune team to do the customization part. So uh rather than relying entirely on the AI uh we like gave them the access to uh like the existing course and they can go through it and whenever they feel like there is a need for changes they can um give us the feedback and uh we will update it accordingly.
Ngawang Trinley: Okay. Uh well I I think it's still worth you know at least like creating a document with suggestions to get like you know even if it's like you know to give them and for us to know also what what actually we need because you know we don't know if they are they have experience in education in training people for marketing and what is important or not etc. Uh I think uh yeah at least we've you know AI we know that we get

01:05:36

Menla Tsomo: Mhm.
Ngawang Trinley: like uh you know we get the experience of like all the courses that are out there in the internet right and so it's at least you know a baseline for okay the minimum things
Menla Tsomo: Okay. Let's go.
Ngawang Trinley: that need to be changed you know is that much or these are you know ideas did you think about this yeah we cannot just rely on you know people that we don't know whether they are specialized in training people for marketing for um you know content creation etc. right?
Menla Tsomo: Let's
Ngawang Trinley: Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. All right. I think we covered everything. So, we definitely took advantage of G last time as well.
Ngawang Trinley: Okay. Okay.

01:08:20

Tenzin Palkyi: But I say you will be able to do it right.
Abha Achal: Hello

Tenzin Palkyi: yes,
Norbu Tsering: I tell that they can handle it.
Abha Achal: See if there is normulas then I can say yes otherwise I'm not going
Tenzin Palkyi: no but I I know if in case we do ask the account section they'll definitely ask you guys itself because
Abha Achal: to
Tenzin Palkyi: you guys are already in south right that's why but I need like pure clear documentation
Norbu Tsering: Exactly.
Yash Dixit: Thank you.
Norbu Tsering: Yes.
Tenzin Palkyi: Now you know the consequences right like when you do the when you do the research and we like do presentation to us we need all the tiny details I got lashed by G&D today I didn't even know that's
Yash Dixit: Yes. Like I was searching and I got him like he's a I think a American or some European Luka Mitra but we don't know is he living in India or somewhere

01:09:20

Tenzin Palkyi: really I don't I don't know I don't know I've heard his name for the first
Yash Dixit: else even even I
Tenzin Palkyi: time that's why because from the beginning Dr. Ja was there I mean Sangala was like the main coordinator right she had this conversation with Dr.
Yash Dixit: like
Tenzin Palkyi: Guru convention and that's how like the thing like having the first master class began something in his community but now I think I mean yeah let me ask
Yash Dixit: Like if that loca is in the UK then we have we need to go to the
Tenzin Palkyi: answer oh
Abha Achal: Please say yes.
Tenzin Palkyi: that's
Yash Dixit: UK.
Abha Achal: I want to be there then.
Menla Tsomo: Yeah, I think uh first I think we need to connect with Sangula and get some insight how all these things started.
Tenzin Palkyi: That's what
Menla Tsomo: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah,
Menla Tsomo: And then uh maybe you you you will get some idea even
Tenzin Palkyi: I don't was during the convention, right? I don't remember seeing any logo, right?

01:10:24

Yash Dixit: Like like you could say that after like SATA like what I had
Menla Tsomo: I'm very bad at remembering names. Sorry.
Yash Dixit: found loca is you could say is a legal lawyer of the you know the whole society and I was going through the you know admin page of the ratna so Dr. Jak is not there in all the admin team I was searching for him not even Dr. like they may be you know the heads of
Tenzin Palkyi: not there. He he said he told me he's the ex director of Naga.
Yash Dixit: No,
Tenzin Palkyi: was like I have been a director for three years or something like that. He
Yash Dixit: probably he could be the director but not in the main uh you know uh admin team of
Tenzin Palkyi: said
Yash Dixit: You got
Tenzin Palkyi: it's like we are hosting something big and we're not even like in communications with the big
Yash Dixit: that.
Tenzin Palkyi: one. Let me ask let me have a discussion with Singala and also ask Dr. Did she work as well?

01:11:24

Abha Achal: So we will come have a look.
Tenzin Palkyi: But I don't so I don't know how he looks as well.
Abha Achal: I have this
Menla Tsomo: Yeah.
Abha Achal: question.
Tenzin Palkyi: I mean I can proudly say that our team has been in communications with Loka Mitra but I don't even know how he looks
Yash Dixit: like he's a very old European man.
Tenzin Palkyi: like.
Menla Tsomo: Heat.
Yash Dixit: He probably in his
Norbu Tsering: He I thought G&T mispronounce it to
Yash Dixit: 80s
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. Hold on.
Norbu Tsering: Naga loa to loit. My world is totally different but I I'm well aware of locomra but not I
Tenzin Palkyi: because I
Menla Tsomo: No.
Tenzin Palkyi: mean yeah I
Norbu Tsering: didn't know that there was a person actually I thought it's kind of like
Tenzin Palkyi: thought I I'm also today I know
Norbu Tsering: yeah institution or some
Tenzin Palkyi: tree have many many different centers and then they function around worldwide and but the main thing is they function
Norbu Tsering: type
Tenzin Palkyi: independently so like every center have like new ones rather than having like

01:12:13

Menla Tsomo: Yeah.
Yash Dixit: Exactly.
Tenzin Palkyi: this main thing main director like that I don't think so that They have something that's why they have those annual meetings where every center boss is a boss itself. Oh
Yash Dixit: They may have like a trust kind of a thing in every center like that's how you know
Tenzin Palkyi: yeah.
Yash Dixit: nonprofit organization work. They have a trust and one trustee and they discuss and they in a way pass the budget and everything. That's how things are working in all the organizations.
Menla Tsomo: And sometime it gets very
Tenzin Palkyi: I think one person if seeing not that will be very
Yash Dixit: Yes. Yes, it
Menla Tsomo: toxic.
Yash Dixit: is.
Tenzin Palkyi: good. I also have to go to build then know the trouble with this thing
Yash Dixit: Yes. Yes. Yes. We like you were very near to Deepi like maybe 100 200 kilometers away
Tenzin Palkyi: but I have to go travel right having someone will be nice.
Yash Dixit: from
Tenzin Palkyi: I mean I don't know gets very busy nowadays that's why.

01:13:12

Norbu Tsering: Now with naval or whatever mitra or something you the next step next step is
Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah.
Norbu Tsering: very important. One wrong will create a lot of chaos.
Tenzin Palkyi: Yeah. I know.
Norbu Tsering: You can see property.
Tenzin Palkyi: That's why I'm so thankful for this Gemini for taking all the notes.
Norbu Tsering: Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: It's so good. So that I can get like concrete idea of what to do. See, every time we have this meeting, all right,
Norbu Tsering: What?
Tenzin Palkyi: this Gemini take notes and right after it, they also like make suggestion of each next step to do.
Yash Dixit: Thank
Tenzin Palkyi: So that like really ease out the work and it tracks Gila's each and every word so I can follow
Yash Dixit: you.
Tenzin Palkyi: properly. Sometimes I don't understand Gila's vision properly. If it goes there then it'll definitely cause chaos.
Norbu Tsering: Yeah,
Tenzin Palkyi: Oh my
Norbu Tsering: I
Tenzin Palkyi: god.
Menla Tsomo: It's
