Thrangu Rinpoche brought rain again to Crestone— and about an hour after a major deluge he led a large group in a lovely smoke offering ceremony.

A large crowd, including special guest Crestone benefactor Hannah Strong, joined Thrangu Rinpoche at the stupa for a special smoke offering ceremony honoring his visit.
We celebrated a gloriously beautiful Earth Day in the San Luis Valley by practicing Lama Zoe’s Earth Sadhana.
Adzom Gyalse Rinpoche of Shechen Monastery visited the stupa and recited the Aspiration prayer of Samantrabhadra.
Lama Chodrak visited us the week of July 12 sharing an abundant Sang offering to the Crestone community. Khenpos Jigme and Lopsang from Vajra Vidya added their exuberant spirits. David Wright took the photos.
