Dear Shambhala Warriors and Friends, Thank you so much for joining together to wish the Sakyong a "cheerful birthday." This year, we hope to offer him the furniture piece that he has chosen as his formal seat for the main reception room at the Kalapa Court in Halifax. You can see a picture of the seat on this site. Please feel free to offer any amount at all, and remember to sign the virtual guestbook* so that we can share your birthday greetings with the Sakyong. We have chosen this website because it is safe, secure and very convenient for our many Shambhalians and friends all across the world. Ki Ki So So! *You can click on the guestbook link in the upper right corner of this page to leave a personal birthday message for the Sakyong. We will be sure that he sees all of these messages!
|
Note: You can contribute towards any of the gifts below. Please enter the amount that you would like to give to any item(s) below, then click the "Send Contributions Now" button. We will then guide you through the rest of the process (quick and easy).

|
| Dear Rinpoche,
It feels strange to write to you as I have never known someone who can see me so clearly and yet, I do not wish to be seen as the charlatan practitioner I often perceive. I am astounded by your gifts of wisdom, love and compassion for this world and am overjoyed to have come a little closer to you this summer at Sacred World Assembly. In so much which I have done since, I often feel your calmly humorous, practical and caring insight which you transmitted so keenly in the few days which we all spent together in that blissful field.
So on this occasion of your glorious 50th. birthday I am envisioning limitless good fortune for you in disseminating the full profundity of your realisation of the dharma in characteristically fresh and creative ways and the very best of health to better enable you to do so. In support of this I will be practicing the Dorje Dradul Sadhana for the next 50 Sundays. May your life be free of all obtsacles, your family blessed with abundance and your kind voice be heard in all of even the most distant and troubled corners of this beautiful world.
With love and devotion,
Edmund |
|
