I was looking for a specific Date for the "Become the Buddha Conference in the Winter of 1977 in San Francisco:

But, instead I got something else interesting instead so I thought I would share it with you. My experience of this Conference Held by Elizabeth Clare Prophet directly led me in 1980 to be initiated by Gyaltrul Rinpoche of Tibet (who was a Living Buddha which is what a Rinpoche means in Tibetan)

Both these events one in 1977 and one in 1980 significantly changed my life for the better in a really profound way.

At the 1977 Winter Conference held at the Scottish Rites Temple of the Masonic Order had to be the most powerful and amazing conference I ever went to where Elizabeth Clare Prophet was teaching.

Another amazing Confefence was I think maybe in 1980 or after at Camelot which was owned by the Summit Lighthouse in Malibu Canyon and was a Catholic Monks place I think before the Summit Bought it around 1977. These were very amazing times (especially from 1977 to 1985 where my life kept making spiritual and physical quantum jumps and then especially after 1998 my life has been a continual quantum jump every single day never ending where I can help more people every day become enlightened in all the various ways that it is possible to be enlightened.

Though I mostly had separated out from the Summit Lighthouse by 1978 because I was no longer on Staff in the Computer department then my life continued in an amazing spiritual trajectory in a never ending quantum series of leaps ever since. and I can trace much of these changes back to this "Become the Buddha Seminar where Elizabeth Clare Prophet was giving US Sanskrit versions of of Tibetan Buddhist mantras which invoked a spiritual power I had never seen or experienced before in my life up to this time.

begin quotes from AI Overview

The "Become the Buddha" teachings and related lectures by The Summit Lighthouse and Elizabeth Clare Prophet are ongoing spiritual teachings rather than a single specific conference held in San Francisco. 

• The Teachings: "Become the Buddha" is a recurring theme, audio lecture, and video teaching focused on the bodhisattva ideal, Gautama Buddha, and realizing one's inner Buddha nature. 
Elizabeth Clare Prophet: Lectures such as The Buddhic Essence: Ten Stages to Becoming a Buddha and The Psychology of Becoming the Buddha were produced and distributed through The Summit Lighthouse over many years rather than being tied to a specific standalone San Francisco event. 
San Francisco Connection: While the organization and its followers (such as historical members or students living in the Bay Area) have held local study groups or events, "Become the Buddha" represents a core instructional concept in their catalog of Ascended Master teachings rather than a distinct landmark conference. 

If you are looking for a specific year, audio tape, or transcript excerpt related to Elizabeth Clare Prophet or Gautama Buddha, let me know and I can help narrow it down.
