Dear :

In two weeks, on September 9-12, His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche, supreme head of the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, will visit the Vajra Dakini Nunnery and Sunray Peace Village for a series of consecrations and teachings, many of which will be open to the public.  This auspicious gathering is the latest in a long-standing relationship between His Holiness, Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo, Sunray Meditation Society, and the Vajra Dakini Nunnery. 
 
We invite you to participate in three ways.

Second, please volunteer to help with the events.  More information can be found here on the Sunray blog.
