You can also send gifts to Rinpoche or his entourage to our bank account or PayPal, and we will forward them. Please write the purpose of the payment in the notes.

How to get there
We recommend using public transport.
The nearest tram stop is „Vodičkova“.
It is also possible to travel by metro (line A and B) and get off at station Můstek.
You can use a planner to plan a trip. Tickets can be purchased at vending machines, at some newsagents or via SMS.
Transport from Václav Havel Airport
For transport from/to Václav Havel Airport, you can use bus lines that are connected to the metro.
If you go directly from the airport to the venue, we recommend taking bus no. 119 and then changing to metro A. See the planner for more information.
Taxi services such as Bolt and Uber also work very well in Prague. However, you need to download their application to your mobile phone.
