Hi All...I just received word that we are going to have a visit from Lama Kunga Tondrup, an accomplished Sakya master of ritual arts, from Mundgod, India. He is the ritual arts teacher at a Tibetan school there.

Lama Kunga Tondrup is especially accomplished in performing Vajrakilaya and Vairocana pujas. We would do well to use this visit as a chance to get to know him and to invite him to perform these rituals when he returns in the near future.

He is also very adept and knowledgeable in performing pujas for Tara, Chenrezig and Medicine Buddha. For this visit we have set up the following schedule:

Tues. May 25th
Tara puja 8:00 a.m. the info from the first e-mail re dedicating merit for individuals or situations and donations to the Lama is the same.
Pot luck supper 6:00 here to welcome Lama Kunga to the island...all welcome. This will be an informal get together to meet him and hear about his school, his life, etc. I found out his English is better than I was first told. We will also have someone here who can help translate too.
