February 12: Tibetan New Year
The VVI annual seminar was held from March 2 – 13, 2020. Thrangu Rinpoche taught from Chapter Seven on Diligence from Way of The Bodhisattva by Shantideva and Selections from Je Gampopa's Dharma Talks titled “String of Pearls”. This was the last seminar that it was possible before the covid-19 pandemic began spreading.

The Namo Buddha seminar to be held at Thrangu Tashi Yangste Monastery at Namo Buddha, Nepal that was scheduled in April had to be cancelled.
