Her is part 2 of the discussion:
Part 1 can be found by entering Pema Wangyal in the search box at the bottom of the site www.petergamma.org
Lama Pema Wangyal taught for 17 years Tibetan Buddhist meditation in the Rikon Tibet Institute Monastery. In the year 2021 Swiss TV visited Lhama Pema Wangyal at the Tibet-Institut Rikon:
But in 2023 Pem Wangal left the Tibet Rikon Insititute Monastry. Now Lama Pema Wangyal is a teacher at the Drukpazentrum Kollbrunn:

But Pema Wangyal is also a travel guide, what can be seen on his YouTube channel Yogtrack:

He presents for instance the Bahnhof Wallisellen in Zurich with Arabic subtitles:
And the Shopping Center Glatt in Zurich with sub-titles in Hindi:
Lama Pama Wangayl is also a teacher at the Trupga Center Kollbrunn. But how many students does he have there? If he has not enough students to make a living from, why does he not teach at Laghsam Tibetan Meditation in Zurich as well?
He is not educated to teach Mahayana Buddhism. But could he not do this easily as well? He is an experienced teacher for Tibetan Buddhism with 17 years of experience.
- Can Lama Pema Wangyal not make the teacher training for Mahayana Buddhism?
- And can eventually the people in Winterthur who support him help him to do and finance his education?
- Or the Tibet Rikon Institute Foundation?
- Or The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT)?
- Or some other people want to support Tibetan Buddhism in Switzerland?
If Lama Pema Wangyal would teach at Lhagsam Tibetan Meditation, could this not save a lot of flight costs? And it would this not also be good for the community of the Tibetan Buddhist in Switzerland?
Or if this is not an option for Pema Wangyal to do an additional teacher training , why do the Tibet Insitute Rikon Monastry, The Trupa Zentrum Kollbrunn, and Laghsam Tibetan Meditation in Zurich not cooperate and offer courses at the place most probably the most visitors will come, and that is in the city of Zurich in Lhagsam?
In the Christian Tradition similar things happen. If for instance a village in Switzerland cannot afford anymore to have his own priest, the associate with each other. For instance Roman Catholics associate with the Protestants to have common events. A service led together by representatives of two or more denominations. In German-speaking areas, ecumenical services usually take place with representatives of the Catholic and Protestant churches:
