Rinpoche will be in New York for several weeks beginning on July 6th. There are no teachings scheduled but he will be seeing visitors.  After July 1st, you can schedule an appointment with Rinpoche by calling Mingyur at 646.404.4562 or Dechen at 503.701.7013.  Please don’t call before 9AM or after 7PM. Thank you!

Rinpoche has arrived at his home in Portland, Oregon.  He is currently resting. We will post more information on visiting hours and his teaching schedule when we have it.

Kyabje Chatral Sangye Dorje Rinpoche has suggested that people recite this prayer, written by Ju Mipam, for suppressing earthquakes. Recite the mantra as many times as possible. It is okay to recite it without the lung but do ask for it if you have the opportunity.

Nepal was hit with another earthquake at around noon Kathmandu time today. The USGS measured the earthquake at 7.3 and there were at least three strong aftershocks. Rinpoche, his family, monks and staff were not injured and have moved to an outdoor camp. There was new damage to the monastery buildings but we do not know the extent.

Many buildings in Kathmandu were damaged and there are many injuries, both inside and outside the valley. Please keep the people of Nepal and the surrounding areas affected by the earthquakes and their aftermath in your practice and prayers.

The monastery is closed. Please do not try to visit until Rinpoche re-opens it.

Rinpoche has closed the monastery for repairs for approximately one month. It is not safe for visitors to be on the grounds now. Please do not come to the monastery until Rinpoche announces that it is okay to do so.

The Chod empowerment, scheduled for today, was cancelled due damage to the shrine hall. We will post an annoucement when it is rescheduled.

Thank you!
