You’ll find some videos of Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche’s celebrated Saturday Talks at Ka Nying Shedrup Ling in Boudhanath, Nepal.

“My delight in death is far, far greater than
The delight of traders at making vast fortunes at sea,
Or the lords of the gods who vaunt their victory in battle;
Or of those sages who have entered the rapture of perfect absorption.
So just as a traveller who sets out on the road when it is time,
I, Pema Ledrel Tsal, will not remain in this world any longer,
But will go to dwell in the stronghold of the great bliss of deathlessness.”

Dear Tibetan/Buddhist Studies Friends,
Khenpo Tenzin Ozer from Dralek Monastery in Gandze Autonomous Prefecture is desperately trying to find a German (?) man to whom he loaned a precious photograph. The photograph is the only image of Sera Khandro (Bde ba’i rdo rje, 1892-1940) in the world. The man in the photograph attached to this email promised to take the precious photograph of Sera Khandro to Germany to have it cleaned approximately 5 years ago. Khenpo Tenzin Ozer urgently requests that if anyone knows the name, whereabouts, and/or contact information of this man that they kindly contact me so I can help track down this photograph. Khenpo tells me that the man who has Sera Khandro’s photograph is German and speaks good Lhasa dialect Tibetan. Beyond this, he knows nothing else about him.
Please if you could take a moment to look at the attached JPG photograph to see if you recognize the Western man in the picture, it would be immensely helpful if you email me at shj2102@columbia.edu . Please pass this message on to anyone who has Tibetan Studies contacts in Europe/Germany or contacts with Buddhist Centers in Germany.
Thank you very much for your help in this important matter.
Best Wishes,
Sarah Jacoby

In September 2000, at the invitation of Sogyal Rinpoche, the Dalai Lama visited Lerab Ling to give what would be one of his most extensive and vital Buddhist teachings, entitled “The Path to Enlightenment.” In the countryside nearby, at what was named Lerab Gar, over ten thousand people attended, from twenty-one different countries.
In these teachings, His Holiness set out the key principles of Buddhism, showing how the mind can be transformed, and suffering overcome, through love, compassion, and a true understanding of the nature of reality. Illustrating his brilliant overview of the path with his own personal experiences and advice on how to integrate practice into our lives, the Dalai Lama is at his best here, bringing Buddhist teachings, especially those of the Great Perfection, or Dzogchen, to life.
“Like an expert jeweller,” as Sogyal Rinpoche writes in his foreword, the Dalai Lama “set the teaching of Dzogchen within the context of the other traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, highlighting their parallels and their common ultimate aim of realizing the clear light nature of the mind.”
