Tomorrow our Kechara House will be making a huge acquisition that would advance our centre to be able to benefit so many hundreds more people in the near future.

Dear Rinpoche,   Thank you for the amazing talk on Dzambala's practice last Friday. I was very happy to see Rinpoche in good health, and I hope Rinpoche will always be in good health and may Rinpoche's activities grow more to help the many beings that require Rinpoche's help. Rinpoche mentioned about emotional miserliness...

I initially came up with the idea to have a stage show of TSONGKAPA’S LIFE. This manifested in having a great production called “Legend of the Conch Shell” which was very well recieved.

Nothing is owned by us. Everything will be given, taken, lost, abandoned or forgotten in the end. We came into our current lifetimes with nothing and no matter how much we accumulate, we leave with nothing. So wouldn't it be wise that in between, we develop no real attachments or put so much emphasis on...
