Message of appreciation from Zachoeje Rinpoche
Tashi Delek
This comes with my sincere prayers that you and your family are staying safe and healthy. These past 18 months have been difficult and have affected all of us living on this fragile planet. In these 18 months, some people have lost their lives or have had a family member pass. Every one of us has been impacted to one degree or another. I hope we can see ourselves rounding the corner and finding ourselves headed forward on the road of recovery; physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically and spiritually.
