Summer Retreat Yarney 2024

Dear Dharma brothers and sister,

I am writing to share with you how our upcoming Summer Retreat also known as Yarney, relates to the importance of preserving and continuing the ancient rituals and specifically the teachings of our Tibetan monastery. Despite the challenges faced during and after the Tibetan revolution and exodus, we have diligently worked to uphold these sacred practices.
Our annual Sgrub Mchods rituals, which have been deeply rooted in the traditions of our monastery since the 15th century, are conducted with faithful devotion, upholding the monastic vows and commitments.

During the Summer Retreat, in accordance with the Buddha’s command, we seize the opportunity to engage in these special rituals that have been orally transmitted from teacher to disciple for generations. These efforts are a continuation of the hard work and dedication of our Venerable Abbots, who strived to maintain and restore the monastery’s activities here in Nepal.
We are committed to furthering these precious rituals, ensuring that the teachings, particularly the oral instructions of Lama Tsongkhapa (Jamgon Snyan Rgyud), are preserved, continue to be passed down to our current and future monks, and spread throughout this world.

We pray for the long life of all pure Dharma holders, the well-being of our sponsors, and the liberation of all sentient beings from diseases, wars, stress, and all conditions of degenerate times.
May they attain both temporary and ultimate happiness forever.
Your support is crucial in fulfilling these noble wishes. Thank you for your continued generosity and dedication.
