terrific .. very encouraging .. about time. I hope there is a garden and that waste food etc is being composted.
With the blessing of His Holiness the Karmapa and with the efforts of the Environment Protectors in different corners of this world, it is heart warming to feel everyone is now becoming more aware of the problems of the Mother Earth on which we live in and, remembering its gratitude, some activities are initiated by E. Protectors in this regard.
It is also very happy to know, the people of Rumtek Dharma Chakra centre, the Seat of His Holiness too, everyone; from the top to the bottom and all monks and lay community members, are not lagging in the activities of Environment Protection. Keep it up!
