Good afternoon. I realize this video was done 5 years ago, but I just stumbled on it while scrolling through other Buddhist videos. I looked up the Buddhist center that Ven Paloma Alba mentioned in a Mandala 1996 article in Barcelona and tried to go to that website to find out more about it but my Spanish is extremely rusty and I didn't see a way to click on an 'English' button, so I'm at a bit of a loss. I'd like to know if that center hosts retreats there. Thank you, and thank you for sharing these precepts.
