The Gyalwang Drukpa

I shared with them about the importance of refuge and of putting Dharma into practice. Tengyur and Kangyur are meant to be studied and not just placed in the shrine for veneration. It's only when you understand the meaning of Dharma that you can put Dharma into practice, and it's only when you put Dharma into practice that you can eventually become FREE.

Right after that, I had a very successful gathering with so many people who are devoted to the Drukpa Lineage back in Druk Sangag Choeling Monastery in Darjeeling, next door to Sikkim. Even though I was not very well, I was able to give initiation and fulfill the people's wish there, especially the wish of Lama Sonam who is my representative in Taiwan. He was the one who sponsored the 100 million Amitabha mantra for his late mother and late brother.

As usual, I had a good feeling of these 300 over young monks who are very much dedicated in time and effort for giving service to the lineage and to their master.

Now we have to prepare for the First ADC and it was very nice to meet Satrul Rinpoche again day before yesterday, we spent the whole day talking and enjoying each other's company. He was very inspired by the way we established the Druk Amitabha Mountain here. He praised my skills of building and using the space for the utility purpose, I feel also quite happy that some people are appreciating what I did for the lineage and for the sake of other beings.

Our first ADC chairman, Khamtrul Rinpoche, just arrived a few days ago from Bhutan, trying his best to organise and prepare everything. Let us all wish him best of luck and best of health.
