Gangteng Tulku Rinpoche's 2013 United States Tour

Dear Sangha and Friends,

We regret to inform you that Gangteng Tulku Rinpoche's 2013 United States Tour, scheduled for this summer, has been postponed. The Royal Family of Bhutan requested Rinpoche to consecrate a newly built Longchenpa Temple near Gangteng Monastery in the Pobjikha Valley during the time he was scheduled to be teaching in the US. We will inform you when the new schedule of programs has been completed; expectations are that the rescheduled tour will be between mid-November 2013 and mid-January 2014. Rinpoche has expressed his regret for any inconvenience this may have caused you and hopes that you will be able to attend his rescheduled program.

Sincerely,
Yeshe Khorlo

The Restoration of Chitokha Monastery

One of the oldest monasteries in Bhutan, Chitokha Monastery, suffered severe damage during the 2011 earthquake.

The monastery has served as a winter residence for the Gangteng Tulkus and is of much historical value in the Pema Lingpa lineage. Built over 600 years ago by the great Maha Siddha Drupthop Thangthong Gyalpo, Chitokha Monastery houses important statues and relics. Gangteng Rinpoche considers the restoration an important priority, and the primary project at hand is the securing and rebuilding of the foundation. The renovation has begun in 2012 and will take considerable time, effort, and funds to complete.

Donations to this project are most essential in order for the monastery to be successfully rehabilitated, so please do consider contributing to the restoration.
