Geshe Gyalten visited Vilnius, Lithuania, for the first time in November 2013. He gave Medicine Budha empowerment and teachings on Medicine Buddha practice, including a weekend retreat on calm abiding meditation.

Since then a small group of people have been meeting in Vilnius on weekly basis to study two books of H.E. Chöden Rinpoche:  Offering Cloud and Hundreed Deities of Tushita.
