Tashi Delek! During my recent travels around North America, I was extremely happy to see so many friends and students, some of whom appeared after a ten- or fifteen-year absence. Old memories were stirred, as was my appreciation for all of your support through your offerings, work, and practice over the years. These have created the Chagdud Gonpa sangha. One of the aspirations in the Orgyen Prayer is that the sangha be “enriched with fellowship.” It seems that we have accomplished this rather well.
I would like to express my gratitude to those of you who made contributions to Rigdzin Palden, the abbot of Chagdud Gonpa, Tibet, who sustained a serious back injury during an accident involving a truck. He had surgery in late May, recovered for some time in Chengdu, China, and is now back at Chagdud Gonpa. He is able to walk and doctors are waiting to see whether more surgery will be necessary. Though young, Rigdzin Palden is well-respected and integral to the running of the monastery.
I may see him in Chengdu, on my next trip to Nepal. The monasteries I am associated with in Tibet have invited me to come, and of course my sister never relinquish- es her hopes of seeing me. With my heart condition, I can no longer travel in the high altitudes of eastern Tibet, so I have asked them to meet me in Chengdu.
When I leave China, I will travel to Nepal to consecrate Katok Ritrod. I have powerful aspirations that the highest practices of the Katok Dzogchen lineage can be accomplished at this retreat center. In the past, it has been somewhat difficult to find the circumstances and seclusion necessary to practice certain aspects of the path. I have complete confidence that the retreat master, Getze Tulku, a very stern and accomplished Katok lama, will instill an excellent standard of practice in the retreatants., and to establish practitioners in retreat there.
On the way home, I would like to stop in Thailand to see a fine doctor who helped Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche and who has been strongly recommended to me.
If you would like to join me on the Nepal leg of this pilgrimage, contact Kim at Rigdzin Ling (North America) or Andrea at Khadro Ling (South America) for dates and plans as they evolve. I hope to see some of you then.
In the dharma,
Chagdud Tulku
