The non-profit charitable organisation founded under the auspices of His Eminence Tsona Gontse Rinpoche, launched the programme last year on May 27 coinciding with the Saka Dawa commemorations.
The programme being aired on Sadhna channel was inaugurated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Patna a year ago.

“His Eminence Tsona Rinpoche is very much involved in the spiritual upliftment of the Buddhist minorities living in the entire Himalayan region, hence the society is leaving no stones unturned to expand its viewership”, the release noted.

Tuesday and Thursday: 09:15-09:45 a.m. IST
