  Karma Chophel Ling, Denmark, 1-18 July 1990

  The date for each particular talk is somewhat uncertain. At one point, Rinpoche begins to teach both mornings and afternoons.

  The alternative recordings that are posted here, didn't record the chants at the beginning and end of talks, so the precise start and stop of a talk wasn't found.
