Dear Sangha Members and Friends,

Warm Greetings from Padma Samye Ling.

Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche sends his sincere best wishes and prayers for everyone effected by the recent hurricanes, fires, and earthquakes.

Rinpoche asks that you please continue to pray for everyone and all the many difficult situations unfolding in the world.

As you all know, Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico quite hard. In fact it was the strongest and most destructive hurricane to strike the island since 1928. We have heard from a few Sangha members in Puerto Rico who let us know that they are safe even though the devastation is major. However, we have not heard from everyone. So, we are very concerned. Please keep them in your prayers.

We’d like to help at least our Sangha members to recover as much as we can. Please consider donating toward a fund we have set up to assist in relief and recovery after this incredibly destructive storm. Your tax deductible donations can be made payable to “Padmasambhava Buddhist Center” with “Compassionate Action Fund” in the memo.

Please mail check or money order to:
Padmasambhava Buddhist Center
ATTN: Compassionate Action
618 Buddha Highway
Sidney Center, NY 13839

It is also possible to donate online via this link:

We will share updates with everyone interested as they become available.

Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you think may be interested.

Yours in the Dharma,
the Padma Samye Ling Sangha
