The July Consecration Retreat has come to an end, and, boy, it we send it off with a bang. We sang, danced, told stories, and enjoyed each other’s company until the wee hours.

How fortunate are we to be present for this month?
Rinpoche and Lama Pema are quite the dancers
Rinpoche loves the Macarena…wasn’t expecting that one
Can you pick out the dancing Tulku?

How interesting, I thought it was against the vows for dancing?
I can see why you guys moved to Missoula. I finally bought a reliable car, I am coming to visit my first free weekend! Family here these next two weeks, so unless they want to check it out too, I’ll see you end of August or September. FOR REAL this time!
Thanks for all the awesome updates, I hope someone at the Garden is seeing these excellent photos and putting them to good use? And any word on when HHDL will consecrate it? Or is that no longer happening?
