Dear Dharma friends,
                      I hope every one of you is doing well with the blessing of Lord Buddha. I am fine as before.
Today is friendship day and I am very happy to remember so many of my friends from all over the world and am thinking of you all and holding you in my prayers.
I would like to share with you some of my activities over the last few months.
I had a very nice time in Vienna teaching at the University and I learned a lot and had many new experiences being in the western University.
I thank all my friends and colleagues who invited me there and spent their precious time with me during my stay in Vienna. Vienna is a very beautiful city and its government very well organizes everything.
After a four-month stay in Vienna, I went directly to Ladakh and I stayed there for two weeks. I was very happy to meet my root Guru His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang at Phyang monastery in Ladakh. I also met my dear parents, family members and relatives. I was very happy to meet them and they were happy too.
I visited Lama Yuru monastery where I was first admitted to become a monk and spent some time there when I was young. At the time of my visit the monks were doing Chakrasamvara Puja with sand Mandala and I was so fortunate to be a part of it for short while.
I spent some time at Tserkarmo monastery where we have a Stupa project and many others things to build and to complete. I was so happy to see the progression of the project and our teams were working so hard day and night.  
Recently, I came back to Dehradun at Kagyu College and these days we are doing summer retreat for forty-five days. All the monks of Kagyu College are taking a part in it and I am very much enjoying being in the retreat.
Last but not least, I would like to send all my sincere prayers for your good health and success with all your noble activities.


With lots of prayers and greetings

Dear friends in the Dharma,
                       I hope every one of you is doing well, in good health and spirit. I am doing well here in Vienna as I was invited as a guest professor at the University to teach for sometime.

In this great auspicious month of Saga Dawa and today being Mothers day, I would like to write few words to share with you.

On these auspicious days we have to remember loving kindness and compassion and try to act practically for the sake of all mother sentient beings.

Mother is one of the kindest people in the world, so our responsibity is to repay their kindness, we have to practice sincerely with loving kindness and compassion regardless of our religion, nationality and culture.

We are all living on this earth as such a big family and all our goals are the same as none of us would like to have suffering and problems. In order to achieve peace and harmony we have to cultivate the right causes and conditions. Without the right causes and conditions of the right attitude, positive motivation and action nothing beneficial can be achieved. Therefore, our Buddha Sakyamuni, the omniscient one always emphasizes the law of Karma.

As every one knows that this is a very special month called Saga Dawa as our Lord Buddha took a birth, achieved enlightened mind and parinirvana. So, everyone of his followers has to remember his kind teachings which are so very useful in helping us to overcome our negative emotions, bring increasing inner peace and happiness and deal with our day to day problems.

Buddha emphasized not to harm others. It is especially important to respect the lives all beings including the whole of the animal kingdom and to be a vegetarian. If being a vegetarian is difficult please refrain from eating meat/flesh during Saka Dawa.


May Buddha’s teachings spread all over the world.
May all the holy Masters have long life and spread their Dharma teachings and bodhisattva activities in the ten directions.
May all mothers be happy and have their wishes fulfilled soon.

With lots of prayers and greeting
