Dear friends,
We're happy to announce that our retreat will proceed this year after the joyous celebration of the enthronement of our Yangsi, the Fourth Pema Norbu Rinpoche. The Yangsi will be enthroned July 31 in Palyul Monastery.

We do not have details yet for our retreat, but wanted to get the news to you as soon as we could so you would be able to make plans.

Much love to you all, dear friends! And see you on retreat.

Note: Registration will open and forms will be available March 1.

Tulku Sangngag Rinpoche will conduct Ground-Breaking Ceremony for the Stupa at the Palyul Retreat Center in McDonough, NY. Details:

A special performance of sacred Tibetan dances, dating to the eighth century, is scheduled at the Palyul Ling International Retreat Center, located near Smithville Flats, for Saturday, August 10th at 4:30 p.m.

Friends, it is a little chilly up here on retreat so if you're heading up for the final week, or the Lama Dance and Culture Show weekend, be sure to pack an extra set of blankets. Temperatures are forecast to reach 52 F / 11 C at night and get up as high as 79 F / 26 C during the day, so a range of clothing for comfort in both warm and chilly temperatures would be good for you to have.

Friends of Palyul are organizing buses to come upstate.
