Isn't this a sweet photo? 💕😀 It was taken by the nuns at Dolma Ling Nunnery and shows good luck messages in Tibetan and English for the hundreds of nuns taking exams. In many parts of the world, September is back-to-school time. We wish all students success on your path. Thank you to everyone for supporting our work to educate and empower nuns of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as teachers and leaders; and to establish, strengthen, and support educational institutions to sustain Tibetan religion and culture.🙏🙏🙏

"It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast." His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

See the link in the comments for the His Holiness the Dalai Lama's explanation of the deep meaning of the 6-syllable mantra, Om mani padme hum.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama wrote this condolence message:

I am saddened to learn of the devastating floods in the Rasuwa region of Nepal and Kyirong in Tibet, resulting in loss of life and heavy structural damage. I pray for all those who have lost their lives, and offer my sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the bereaved and to all those affected by this tragedy.

Since this region has seen calamities in the past as well, these are certainly symptoms of a deeper underlying cause — whether climate change or other factors. I hope that appropriate follow-up measures will be taken, wherever possible, to help ensure that such disasters do not recur.

With my prayers,

Dalai Lama

Look what is happening thanks to your support! We've reached 70% of our fundraising goal 😃❤ for the Housing for Elder Nuns project at Dolma Ling Nunnery, the largest of the seven nunneries we support in India. As one of the elder nuns said, “A proper senior home would transform our lives, giving us safety and dignity in the years we have left.” Thank you so much for helping the elder nuns! 🙏🙏🙏

Please help build housing for 60 elder Tibetan Buddhist nuns at Dolma Ling Nunnery and Institute near Dharamsala, India.
