Dear Friends of Gebchak Gonpa,
The Gebchak nuns send their prayers and Tashi Deleks to you!
The nuns continue to happily thrive in their dedicated Dharma practice. Last year’s sick nuns are recovering well, thanks to a fortified diet made possible by sponsors and medical treatment given by the Qinghai health bureau.
The April 2010 Yushu earthquake deeply affected the Gebchak nuns, as Yushu was home to many of their families. Wangdrak Rinpoche has promised to care for 27 young orphans of the Yushu earthquake, and with him recently back in Tibet we will soon have more photos to send to their sponsors.
In May and June, Wangdrak Rinpoche traveled to the USA in his first visit ever to the West. He enjoyed a direct introduction to many facets of American culture – including feminism, inter-religious dialogue, San Francisco’s famous Castro district, and the Dharma Punx! Rinpoche thanks everyone who welcomed him and made his visit such a joyous success.
News! Gebchak Gonpa has partnered with Dongyu Gatsal Ling Initiatives (DGLI), a nonprofit sister organization inspired by Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo for the betterment of nuns in the Himalayan regions. Secure online donations for the Gebchak nuns and the earthquake orphans can now be made via the DGLI website in the Gebchak Gonpa section.
