As many of you already know. We are sad to confirm that Gomchen lama from Tashiding past away
last week and got cremated at Tashiding on April 18th. Some people say he was 96 years old and was suffering of poor health for the past two years. Many of you have been touch by
Gomchenla’s kindness, clairvoyance, compassion and wisdom. Keep him in your hearts, make prayers and aspiration for his swift rebirth among us.
Sarwa mangalam.

Chotrul Duchen is always a joyful occasion at Khordong Byangter Gompa. Celebrated on the first
full moon of the Tibetan new year.
As a yearly event it is the day we release live fishes . With the donations gathered
along the year, we could release the equivalent of 200 kg of live fishes this year. We did it early morning as usual, from the nearby dam by the Mahanenda nature reserve.
Back to gompa we celebrated the day with our usual performance of the Big Rigdzin and before
lunch we had great fun celebrating Amalha 90th birthday. Amalha was surrounded by Tulku Ugen, Shashi and Chime who had prepared a wonderful birthday cake.
We all received Amalha’s blessing and shared the cake with her.
At last but not least armed with the colors distributed to each and everyone by Amalha the
wildness of Holi celebration started. This year for the first time we played colors with water.
The ground in front of the gompa transformed in a playful and colorful battleground full of
joy. Everyone present got happily involved in celebration of this nationwide festival dedicated to Lord Krishna.
See you next year to play colours together !

On January 26th, we celebrated a great
moment in the history of modern India.
The official date of the creation of the Republic
of India, paving the way for the beginning of the world biggest democratie. Lamas had drawned the map of India around the pole with the help of their english teacher.
Once all had gathered around, together with our
guest of honor, we raised the flag filled with flowers and sang the national anthem in honor of this incredible India.To end the day in colors, to celebrate the success of our
21st butterlamp retreat and to say goodbye to our guest we enjoyed together the ephemeral illusion of some fireworks and firecrackers.
