Turkey Rescue Dedicated to the Long Life of all Holy Teachers

In the United States, tens of millions of turkeys die every Thanksgiving to become food for holiday tables. Help us purchase live turkeys from a New YorK City meat market just before Thanksgiving and bring them to a sanctuary farm near the temple, together with bags of grain to feed them. At the farm, the turkeys will live out their lives in a green pasture with a big barn, surrounded by other rescued chickens, ducks, goats, and other freed animals. The meat market charges $30 each for the live turkeys, Supplementary grain to feed your turkey costs about $2 per week. Help the farm support your turkey by offering grain so that it can enjoy a long and healthy life. We dedicate the merit of saving these lives to prolong the good health and long lives of all holy teachers, your family and friends whose names you may list, and all sentient beings.

On this auspicious day of the Buddha's Descent from Heaven, please enjoy these photos from His Holiness the 43rd Sakya Trizin's November 1-9 teaching program at Tsechen Kunchab Ling in Walden, New York. His Holiness bestowed the Lords of the Three Families (Rig Sum Gonpo) major empowerment, and the Collection of 100 Sadhanas of Bari Lotsawa to a fortunate group of disciples.

His Holiness Ratna Vajra Rinpoche was welcomed to Tsechen Kunchab Ling, Seat of the Sakya Dolma Phodrang in the Americas on Tuesday, May 27. He presided over Sakya Pandita: A Symposium on His Life and Works, co-sponsored with Wisdom Publications, which featured video and live presentations by His Holiness Sakya Gongma Trichen Rinpoche, His Holiness Ratna Vajra Rinpoche, and translators of six books by and about the great Sakya Pandita. A new book, Sakya Pandita: Three Biographies was also released during the event.
