On Faith & Devotion: Strengthening our Hearts
A teachings by Khenpo Jamyang Tenzin

 

Faith and devotion are the seeds of dharma. WIthout faith & devotion, no matter how learned or disciplined you are, it is impossible to grow the fruit of enlightenment.

With more than some regret, we will soon say farewell to Diedre Niar from Sakya Tharpa Ling….even though she is not going far and we hope will still be a regular visitor to our centre.

Many people have been asking about the welfare of Ani Sangmo. Ani-la has been involved with Sakya Tharpa Ling for a number of years and was ordained by Luding Khen Rinpoche in 2004. Since then she has been actively involved with maintaining the regular practice programme at Drogmi Retreat Centre.

Lama Tenzin Ngawang (Lama) and Ven. Tenzin Lektsok (Tenzin Phil) attended the Buddhas birthday celebrations at Darling Harbour. This annual event is perhaps on of the largest regular public events held in Australia and this year it was larger than ever.
