Correct Skype Account Details

From Online Meditators on Sun, 21 Apr, 2013 - 10:16Hi all, just a quick note to clear up any confusion about the correct Skype account to use for online meditation!

The correct user is thebuddhistcentre.com. Its full profile name will be listed as the buddhist centre online.

If you search for us you may come across another admin account we use for European calls, so please ignore it. We’ve renamed it so it’s extremely clear not to connect with us there.

Hope that helps!
