Dear Friends in the Dharma,<\/p>\n

Venerable Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal and our sangha at Pullahari and Kagyu Thekchen Ling monasteries are praying for all the fatalities and patients of CoVid-19, and all people, animals, our world and sentient beings in this difficult time. We hope our message finds you, your family and close ones well and safe.<\/p>\n

After much thought, we have decided to postpone this year\u2019s Rigpe Dorje Philosophy and Meditation programs to next year, 2021. The dates will be:<\/p>\n

Payments for registrations for the 2020 Programs that are already received by our office will be brought forward to 2021. Please contact us if you wish to cancel.<\/p>\n

The decision to postpone the programs was made after much thought. We anticipate that it will take time for many countries to recover from the trauma of the CoVid-19 pandemic and the consequences of the lockdowns in transportation, trade, supplies etc.<\/p>\n

The lockdown in Nepal that began on March 24 is now extended to April 30, 2020. Though there are relatively few reported cases of CoVid-19 so far, communities, monasteries and people in Nepal are observing the lockdown with good discipline.<\/p>\n

Attached are some pictures of the activities going on in our monastery and at the Home.<\/p>\n

We pray that we the pandemic will end soon. Until then, THINK OF OTHERS AND KEEP SAFE.<\/p>\n

Yours in Dharma,<\/p>\n
