Meeting for a New Flag

On the 19th of April we had a meeting to discuss the new flag for our monastery, which is registered with the Nepal Department for Education. They notified us that we must have a special flag for our monastery. In our meeting, we decided on the flag as above. White symbolizes peace, yellow is the color of Buddhism, and the Logo, which we have used so far, is the symbol of Lekshey Ling. May the brilliance of the three wisdoms spread! Thank you!

Bags for our Monks

Dear Dharma friends,

I just want to share with you today that our young monks are carrying their books loosely because they have no bags, and the older monks use whatever bag they can to find to carry their things. I have ordered 300 bags for our young and older monks that they can keep and use all the time. Each will cost USD 6 and all together they will cost USD 1800.

I hope that someone will think of us and will want to donate them. That would be very, very nice.

Thanks in advance and many greetings from

Khenpo Karma Namgyal
