Thank you for reading the instructions below. Please read all 3 steps before you begin uploading your files.

Step 1: Renaming Files

Before uploading, please update filenames (on your own device) using the following format:

YYYY-MM-DD_Event Name_Location of Event_Part X

Example:

Part 1 of a three-part recording from a Five Elements Retreat recorded on October 2, 2023:

2023-10-02_Five Elements Retreat_Serenity Ridge_Part 1

If the event has a very long name (and won’t fit in the filename), please shorten to just the first part of the event name and include the full name in the description section below.

Step 2: Providing detailed information about the files you are uploading

On the Ligmincha Wisdom Upload Form, we request you to provide 10 pieces of information (below) about the files you will be uploading. Please enter this information in the box called “file information”.

You will either need to keep 2 webpages open on your browser (this Instructions Page and the Upload Form) or you may prefer to print this page out if easier.

Information to go in the “File Information Box” on the Ligmincha Wisdom Upload Form

1. Full Name of event (e.g. Five Elements)

2. Type of event (e.g. course, retreat, public talk)

3. Name(s) of teacher(s)

4. Name(s) of translator(s), if any

5. Date (or dates) of recording(s) in the format YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2023-10-31)

6. Location of event, including venue name, city, and country (e.g. Serenity Ridge, Virginia, USA or Online)

7. Whether teaching/event was part of a longer-term series (some texts are taught over the course of several years)

8. Total number of recordings that make up the complete event (e.g. if a three-day retreat has six recordings, write 6)

9. ⁠ ⁠i) Are you uploading all recordings that were made at this event? Answer Yes or No

ii) If you answered no, which parts are you uploading (e.g. parts 1,2&3 of 6 or parts 1-18 of 20)

10. Any other comments about the event that might be helpful or interesting to know (e.g highlights, context or anything else you would like to bring to our attention)

If Uploading Multiple Files

You may upload multiple files but please use a separate form for each different event.

Please upload multiple files only if they are from the same event.

Examples:

  1. If you have six recordings from a Five Elements Retreat, upload all 6 files together in one Ligmincha Wisdom Upload Form.

  2. If you also have three recordings from a Dream Yoga Retreat, upload those using a separate Ligmincha Wisdom Upload Form.

Step 3: Uploading and sending files

Once you have renamed your files and entered the requested information into the File Information box, click “select files” in the “Upload Files” box on the Ligmincha Wisdom Upload Form.

This will open a window on your computer, from which you will need to select the file(s) you wish to upload and send.

To add multiple files, you can either select several at once or add one at a time by clicking the “add another file” button, which will appear underneath the Upload Files box, each time you add a file.

When you have added all the files you wish to send, click the “submit” button.
