Dear Dharma friends and Students.
May your minds are blessed by the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha—the three jewels of refuge.
Gaden Choling Buddhist Centre is celebrating my 60th birthday and organizing a long life Puja for me on the 26th of April. Life comes and goes quickly like the clouds. I feel very fortunate and I feel strong and healthy. I know some of you would like to give me a birthday present, and I am thankful for that, but I don't really need anything. Sometimes Lamas have more things then the students. If you would like to offer a donation of any amount to Gaden Choling centre to help pay off the mortgage as a birthday present for me, that will be great. I was told that we now owe only $9,000 to the bank and then the mortgage will be completely paid-off. This is good news for Gaden Choling Buddhist centre, which is our temple, Ashram, and spiritual home for learning Buddha Dharma.
I pray for your long life, good health and much happiness.
Buddham Saranam
