Frequently Asked Questions

MERIDA’S international airport (MID) is the closest and most convenient airport to the teaching’s venue. We recommend booking your flights into MID. CANCUN International Airport (CUN) is by far the largest airport with the most International flights in the area, but consider that it’s more than 4 hours away from Merida.

After arrival and claiming checked bags, you will find inside the terminal the taxi services. Uber is also a popular option but it is restricted in some areas like the Airport. So you will need to walk some streets to be able to get one. 

The venue has no space to host the participants, so Hotels and Airbnb will be your best options in the area. In the accommodation section on this webpage there is a list of hotels that we recommend.

We will provide the option of transportation with an extra fee of around $10 usd per day. It will be optional and under request. Uber and local Taxis are two of the most popular and abundant companies serving the area.

There will be a parking area in the street. 

Merida's weather is generally warm and sunny year round. In December, expect the days to be sunny and nice, with unexpected rain. 

The income generated will be  utilized to cover some of the event expenses. We are optimistic that the generosity of some benefactors will enable us to fully meet the running costs of the event. Your valuable contributions are greatly appreciated and can be made conveniently through our ticketing platform, click here. 

As per Rinpoche’s request, a limited number of day tickets will be available for people who wish to create a link with Longchenpa. They will be allocated each morning on a first come first serve basis. It is not possible to book day tickets in advance. NO DAY PASSES WILL BE AVAILABLE ON DECEMBER 9TH & 12TH. The recommended donation for the daily pass is $200 pesos. 

Sorry to say that there will not be any financial support to cover personal expenses for this program. Rinpoche said, “People should sacrifice a bit to receive teachings. The very idea that somebody would offer scholarships to receive teachings is fundamentally wrong.”

We quote this because Rinpoche said to tell people this, and to quote him. 

Rinpoche went on to say that if people can’t afford this financially, emotionally, or they don’t have the time, that they should try their best but maybe they are not ready to receive the teaching. The good news is that there are still many months to try and find some other support. We hope you can find a way to be there!

This will depend on the date you cancel. If for any reason you are unable to attend, please visit the ticketing page and cancel your ticket so it can be assigned to someone on the waitlist. The money (minus ticketing fee) will be refunded up to 60 days before the event. The last day to request for a refund will be 8th October, 2023. After this date, there is no longer chance for a refund. Thank you for your understanding.
