Our hearts are with the people of Nepal following the devastating floods affecting communities along the Nepal–Tibet border — with lives lost, many still missing, and rescue efforts continuing.
At moments like this, Lama Zopa Rinpoche reminded us not to underestimate the power of sincere prayer and refuge. He offered specific practices for mitigating severe conditions of the elements, including Tea Offering to the Eight Classes and The Prayer to Guru Rinpoche that Spontaneously Fulfills All Wishes (Sampa Lhundrupma).
We encourage our community to practice and dedicate today for all those who have died, those who are missing or injured, their families, rescuers, and everyone still in danger.
May suffering and fear be swiftly relieved. May all beings be protected. 🙏
