We are learning to recognize and be grateful for Rinpoche’s tireless generosity which manifests in his many compassionate activities. Upon his return to Nepal, he continued the process of acquiring the land in Namo Buddha for an international retreat center. In spite of the pandemic, at the request of the Swiss students, Rinpoche successfully completed his annual European teaching tour. He also was available for one on one counseling sessions if requested. We were fortunate that our peerless precious teacher Jigme Thrinley Rinpoche continued to offer online teachings every Sunday on the important work of Arya Nagarjuna’s text “A Letter to a Friend” as well as frequent weekend retreats on different subjects including Deity Yogas, Ngondro and Lojong. Amongst our sangha, we have observed that many practitioners were able to use this year’s experience to deepen their practice, study the dharma more diligently, and take to heart its true essence and meaning. We are grateful to all those brave people, especially the frontline workers, teachers, healthcare workers and so many like them, who have tirelessly devoted themselves to the wellbeing and safety of others. As we come close to the end of another year, we reflect on its many challenges, opportunities and joys.
