At Druk Amitabha Mountain in Nepal, Drukpa nuns are currently engaged in intensive special puja, aspiration prayers for Sukhavati as well as continuous lamp offerings dedicated to all those affected by the recent floods in Nepal.
In this time of profound loss, may our prayers reach those who have departed in the devastating floods. May they be free from fear and suffering in the bardo, their negative karma purified, and their consciousness guided toward a peaceful and fortunate rebirth.
May the departed find liberation from suffering, and may their families find strength, solace, and peace amid this heartbreaking loss.
With deepest compassion, we pray for every life affected.
Om Mani Padme Hum. 🙏🪷

THANK YOU MESSAGE
I would like to thank you all for your greetings on my 91st birthday. As I mentioned to those gathered here in Leh, Ladakh, India on 6 July, when I look back on my life, I see that the core of my practice has been to be of benefit to others. That is the altruistic motivation with which I wake up every day.
Spreading compassion and kindness continues to be my life's primary mission. Such an attitude is essential to making our world a better place for everyone. I therefore call on my brothers and sisters everywhere, both young and old, to practice warm-heartedness and compassion, with genuine concern for the well-being of others. To be able to do so is, I believe, what it means to lead a meaningful and purposeful life of service.
As you may be aware, following a successful medical procedure on my left knee in New Delhi last month, I have since been recuperating here in Ladakh. As in past years, I find the climate here at this time of year well suited to my health, and I therefore plan to remain in Ladakh for the next several weeks.
With my prayers and good wishes,
DALAI LAMA

Change Starts With You - His Holiness the Dalai Lama says change starts from the individual. One person makes the effort, then another — reaching 10, 100, 1,000, 10 million. That's the way to change. Video originally recorded on March 9, 2016.
We have no guarantee we'll be happy, we just hope that we will. We hope we'll overcome whatever problems confront us and if we lose hope we despair. Happiness corresponds with peace of mind and a key to that is warm-heartedness. Developing compassion brings courage and self-confidence; warm-heartedness and intelligence bring peace of mind.
“True independence is not only political, but also inner freedom. A compassionate heart cannot be conquered, and a wise mind cannot be colonized. This is the strength of Tibet’s spirit.” – H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama
