Police Stop Us



Today is the 27th Happy Birthday of H.H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje. We woke up very early morning and offered white scarf (Khadhar) and did long live prayer of HHGK. Our monastery is located nearby Swoyambhunath.
After breakfast, we went to Boudhanath where the HHGK's Happy Birthday celebrating at Dabzang Rinpoche monastery. Unfortunately, the Nepal Police stopped us to go there. We asked the reason why they were stopping us but they were saying that they received their order from Home Ministry. We stand on the road more than 3 hours. We talked a lot peacefully with police officer but nothing was happen. Finally, we decide to not to go to Boudha and we did one round big stupa of Swoyambhunath which has nearly 3 kms. Police didn't allow us to use any banners and images but our monks from Leksheyling and nuns from Trangu Tara Abbey slogan Karmapa Khenno while when were making round the stupa. This is the situation what happen with us today.
We really want to know from Government that why they stop us for celebrate the Happy Birthday of HHGK. This year is 17th times celebrating HHGK's happy birthday in Nepal and there wasn't any problem. I heard from my friend on phone that at Boudhanath, they didn't get permission to go around Boudha stupa but they celebrated in monastery as well as with lot of police. Karmapa Khenno

Need support

The large piece of land we have been able to get for our future school project had been lying unused. To make the best use of this land, we planted a variety of vegetables that can be consumed by our monks in the future. Located in a very isolated area and amid a thick forest, there is a huge possibility that many animals will come and destroy the plants. Hence, we need to put up big pillars around the land and barbwire the fence to keep animals from destroying our crops. Also, we have to hire a few helpers to look after the land and will have to give them daily wages. All this will cost us $4000.00

For this purpose, we here seek financial support from all of you generous people. Since we would be immensely grateful to you for your kind donation and help, we would pray from the very depth of our heart for your success andprosperity.

New School Project

News of Karma Leksheyling School

In modern Generation one should have basic modern knowledge and dharma knowledge at sametime. Without proper dharma view and idea inside our mind may face difficulties even if we want peace and happiness. Therefore Karma Leksheyling realized it is extremely neccerssary to give the normal and dharma education for children. In 2007 Karma Leksheyling School was official got permission from Nepal government and since then school was established and run well. Each year number of the students are increasing rapidly so the school complex and accomodation become narrow and couldn’t fit anymore so decided to look a place in Lapsephedi -6, Jaharsing Pauwa, Kathmandu, that is 40 km from Swayambhunath here the students from 1st grade to 8th grade will be taking place. I request all devotees , supporters and interested people to help our project in order to give children good education.
