This past week has been a profound blessing as representatives from Gar Drolma attended the 4-day Namgyalma retreat and celebration of H.E. Garchen Rinpoche’s 90th birthday.

The gathering was truly incredible, bringing together monastics, both old and new friends, and for the first time, representatives from 26 international centers joined for this auspicious occasion. It was inspiring to witness such wide-reaching support and devotion.

Our deep appreciation goes to the Garchen Buddhist Institute for organizing and facilitating this precious event and nurturing these connections.

May Garchen Rinpoche’s life be long, healthy, and joyful, and may his activities continue to bring peace to the world and benefit to all beings. 🫶🙏
