On World Environment Day

Today, a few nuns from Thrangu Tara Abbey, a few monks from Samten Ling, Tergar Ngedon Osel Ling, and our monastery went to clean around Swoyambhu.. Click here to see more photos.

Today more than a hundred monks from Lekshey Ling Monastery spent the whole day cleaning the entire area around the Great Stupa of Swoyambhu. They picked up all the rubbish that was lying around and filled many truck loads with it. We hope that everyone takes care of our environment and nobody has to clean up other people's mess anymore. Thank you for being heedful of our Earth, our wonderful home!

Cleaning on 10th of May 2009 after Buddha's Birthday around the Swoyambhu Stupa.
Recently, H.H. The 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje asked us to protect our environment and reminded us that we are responsible for the Earth, which is our home. We do our best to take his advice to heart, so we set out to clean the area around the Swoyambhu Stupa after Lord Buddha's birthday celebrations there this year. We, too, sincerely hope that everyone follows His Holiness' words and that everyone helps make our Earth a natural home for all living beings again.
