His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Ladakh this week
Jullay Everyone!
I was speaking with Namgial, our coordinator in Ladakh, yesterday and he spoke with excitement that His Holiness the Dalai Lama is visiting Leh, the capital of Ladakh, right now to give teachings. Check out an article about it here.
His Holiness usually visits Ladakh for a month or so each summer to give teachings and audiences. He was not able to visit last summer, so his visit this summer is especially precious. Namgial told me that His Holiness just returned from the Nubra Valley and delivered teachings on the Lam Rim or "stages of the path," teachings of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism.
If all goes as planned, we'll trek into the Nubra Valley in early October and visit the monastery (Diskit Gonpa) where His Holiness gave these teachings. There will be a festival with traditional dancing that we'll attend!
More details to come,
Tracy

Is there an introduction post for Erin somewhere? I read the email today and I didn't remember reading about her. Who's the next cool person to be involved with the semester?
