“Yesterday, I visited Sikkim and went to the site where Zangdokpelri is now in the process of being built. Many years ago, when the previous Kargyu Tulku Rinpoche was still healthy, he kindly told me that I should look after this place and build a monastery there. He said that even if it were only a single beam or a pillar, he wished to see it established before he passed away. He had personally pointed out this very land.

Unfortunately, I was not able to fulfill that wish before he left us. However, it is truly fortunate that his authentic incarnation has now returned. In order to honor and fulfill his aspiration, we have now begun the construction of Zangdokpelri. I felt very happy to be there this time and had the opportunity to perform a smoke puja at the site. Quite unexpectedly, many devotees of previous Kargyu Tulku have joyfully gathered and participated with full hearts. It was a very touching and joyful moment to share this together.

May this place become a source of great benefit, harmony, and blessings for many beings. Actually, I wished to share this yesterday, but I was unable to obtain proper photographs until today from my office. My sincere apologies for the delay.”
