Sera Lachi (all the monks of Sera Je and Sera Mey Monasteries) joined in prayers in the main gompa and offered the Namgyalma Buddha puja, and in the protector room offered the Drukchuma puja ten times, dedicated to the long life, health, and protection from all obstacles of the whole FPMT family — all the sangha, directors, kind workers, volunteers, benefactors, and students — as well as all who are sick or experiencing obstacles. May all the powerful prayers offered by the sangha on this incredibly powerful day of Chokhor Duchen be actualized. Rejoice 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Welcome to this month’s newsletter!
July is a very powerful and special month for practice and celebration. On July 6, communities of students and supporters around the world celebrated His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 91st birthday. In his thank-you message to the public, His Holiness expressed: “… When I look back on my life, I see that the core of my practice has been to be of benefit to others. That is the altruistic motivation with which I wake up every day.
“Spreading compassion and kindness continues to be my life’s primary mission. Such an attitude is essential to making our world a better place for everyone. I therefore call on my brothers and sisters everywhere, both young and old, to practice warm-heartedness and compassion, with genuine concern for the well-being of others. To be able to do so is, I believe, what it means to lead a meaningful and purposeful life of service.”
July 18 is the day known as Chokhor Duchen, “Day of Turning the Wheel of Dharma,” and commemorates the anniversary of Guru Shakyamuni Buddha’s first teaching. You can find all of Lama Zopa Rinpcohe’s advice for making the most of this merit-multiplying day.
Chokhor Duchen is also the day on which FPMT celebrates International Sangha Day! As a special way to observe this occasion, we are so happy to share a recent interview with Ven. Roger Kunsang discussing 50 years of ordination.
🙏Please continue to read all of the causes for rejoicing in this month's newsletter:
