Visit of His Holiness Namkha Rinpoche

In March His Holiness Namkha Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of International Nyingmapa Rigdzin Community visited Sera for a week.

Rinpoche and group have strong wishes to support the Hostel & Prayer Hall Projects of Sera Jey Ngari Khangtsen, as He personally sees the difficulties of Ngari Students occupying 3 -4 monks in single room

Rinpoche has sponsored the purchashing site for the Hostel and Prayer Hall Construction measuring 170 X 510 fts, and promise to find support for the projects.

We wish Rinpoche, staffs and Students of Rigdzin Community every success in their Dharma mission and benefit all the sentient beings.

Dear Dharma Brother and Sister

It is time again for Tibetans around the world to celebrate their Losar; this time- the Year of the Earth Mouse 2135. Tibetans and a section of Buddhists around the world celebrate Losar on Thursday, February 7, 2008. The celebration normally lasts for three days, and it all means time for geetings, togetherness and abundant festivities, and time for prayers as well.The word Losar is a Tibetan word for New Year.
