Gen-la Khyenrab has now returned to Canada and will begin an exciting program of classes at KMC Canada in the coming days. And most of the ITTP students have now departed Manjushri KMC to take up their new responsibilities around the world. As he left, one of the students, Jorge, who was headed for Chile, shared this beautiful photographic diary of his six months at the mother centre.
Great news from Tharpa Germany. The first German edition of Essence of Vajrayana is now available! It is the first time this blessed book by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche on the practice of the Heruka body mandala has appeared in German.
This is very auspicious for the practice of Heruka Tantra in this country.
