And especially during regular interactions among members and between members and lamas on all occasions . Is there jurisdiction to censor any members’ misbehavior beyond the Temple boundary. To look into the necessity to set up a code of Conduct and discipline for implementation at our Centre and to what extend can it be effectively applied. b) At the present moment, our Centre are promoting the younger generation to engage in our Centre activity. With this the Youth Ministry is set up. A smooth assimilation of these young members into our Centre’s culture is very important. In order to deal with this we need to examine the following aspects: Is there exists such a phenomenon as Dharma generation gap between seniors and juniors, the new and the older ones and etc. in our 35 years old Vajrayana Centre. If there exist one, what is the effect on our Temple and how we should address it to break that barrier and restore the trust among all . c) Tag to this we need to identify any areas that will arise
