Kurukulla Center has a very precious connection to this text. The late Venerable Geshe Tsulga's final request to His Holiness the Dalai Lama in October 2010 was to give a teaching on this text at the Main Temple of Sera Lachi Monastery from the throne that Geshe Tsulga had sponsored to build. His Holiness gave the oral transmission of this text at the Jangchub Lamrim teachings at Sera Lachi on December 25, 2015.
