A Heartfelt Thank You to Everyone! 🙏

The Tibetan Association of Vermont (TAV) would like to extend our deepest gratitude to His Eminence Kundeling Tatsak Rinpoche and his dedicated team for visiting Vermont and blessing our Tibetan community with precious Dharma teachings and prayers.

We are truly fortunate and blessed to have had this wonderful opportunity to receive Rinpoche’s teachings, the White Tara (Dolkar Yidzhin Khorlo) Long-Life Empowerment, and his spiritual blessings. It was a meaningful and memorable occasion for our Tibetan community, friends, and supporters.

Our sincere thanks also go to all the community members, volunteers, friends, and supporters who came together and contributed their time, effort, and dedication to making these teachings and prayer gatherings successful and meaningful.

Special thanks to Rinpoche and his team for taking the time to visit our small Tibetan community here in Vermont and share your wisdom, compassion, and blessings with us. We feel truly fortunate to have had you among us.

May Rinpoche’s blessings bring peace, happiness, good health, and long life to everyone.

With heartfelt gratitude and appreciation,

Tibetan Association of Vermont (TAV) 🙏

Prayer Meeting Sunday 10/25th 6pm for the Speedy Recovery of Kongo Passang la

We held a prayer meeting for our beloved elderly community member, Kongo Passang la, as Tenzin Yeshi la is currently in critical condition in the ICU. We sincerely pray for his speedy recovery, good health, and strength during this difficult time.

Kongo Passang la has dedicated many years of service to the Tibetan community, including his long-standing contributions to the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), the Tibetan government-in-exile in India, and his valuable work here in Vermont. He has also served as a Sunday school teacher and contributed greatly to the Tibetan Association of Vermont and our community in many other ways.

We are deeply grateful for his dedication and selfless service to the Tibetan people. May our collective prayers bring him strength, healing, and a swift recovery.

Thank you to all our community members who took the time to attend the prayer meeting and offer your prayers and support during this challenging time. Your kindness, compassion, and solidarity mean so much to us.

🙏 May Kongo Passang la recover soon and regain good health.
