WITH HEARTFELT THANKS !
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche on his visit to Japan the end of September. Rinpoche's teachings and Medicine Buddha initiation were attended by many and enjoyed by all. We hope he will return to Japan soon. DNSJ would like to thank everyone involved in Zopa Rinpoche's whirlwind visit. It would not have been possible without Rinpoche's attendants, Takiko Ohtome-san's flawless translation, participants, volunteers, DNSJ members, patrons, benefactors, dharma friends from Australia, Singapore, Taiwan and others from Rinpoche's organization, Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT). Fortunately for us, Rinpoche plans to visit Japan more frequently. He shared his vision of a future center in Japan and now we must plan. He also encouraged us to do more activities, in addition to what we currently have on our calendar (see below). Please watch this space for more, or better yet, join in with us!
