I took ordination vows with HH Penor Rinpoche at the NY Palyul Retreat Centre, and of course KPC is a Palyul Centre, and HH is Jetsunma's, and therefore my, teacher! <BR/>I wonder if there is a woman called Johnnie in that group? I met her at NY retreat in 99 - I wasn't ordained then, had come from Australia; we cleaned the bathroom together. We did retreat again in 2000, when I was ordained. If she is part of that group, please say hello!<BR/>Being part of a Sangha provides a supportive framework to nurture you on the Path. Connecting with a pure lineage and taking Refuge is the foundation for ripening the blessings of the holy Dharma. Beginning Ngondro will open a door you never even knew existed, to a place beyond our imaginations, right inside your heart.<BR/>I am joyful for you, Dharma sister!kunzanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04748009632919429499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467285282468355612.post-69664517644531538822007-06-14T16:28:00.000-05:002007-06-14T16:28:00.000-05:00lovely to hear that you have managed to connect wi...lovely to hear that you have managed to connect with a buddhist sangha!Ray Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16839000583738213251noreply@blogger.com
