Message from Khenrinpoche Geshe Lhundrup


quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today all the Kopan community, lamas, geshes, monks, nuns, teachers, and all workers – around 500 people – were together in the gompa, praying. We made all different kinds of prayers, such as Lama Choepa, etc., and many Om Mani Padme Hum mantras for those who died in this terrible disaster, and also for those who were hurt, and are sick and suffering in their body and mind. We also prayed and still pray, for all Americans to be healthy and happy again; we pray that all the good plans for benefiting others in business, education, and all other areas will be completely successful and completed perfectly

OM MANI PADME HUM

"Either your two side channels are open, and your central channel closed, or
your central channel open, and your two side channels closed.
These are the only alternatives..."
Lama Yeshe quoting Lama Tsongkhapa
