Good evening beloved friends and sangha:

Geshe-la has informed our dharma community of an impending medical procedure for H.H. the Dalai Lama sometime in the very near future. While all of the details are not yet available, it appears to be an issue with one of his knees and he is seeking consultation with doctors located in Minnesota, U.S.A. Although we are sure that the Dalai Lama will receive the very best care, students are being asked to recite as many Medicine Buddha Mantra’s as possible before the end of the month. Please keep an accurate record of how many mantras you have recited [you may recite the long or short mantra] and present the total to Geshe-la by the last day of June.
This will allow time to present our center’s accumulated total to the organizers.

Thank you and may your practice flourish.
