SUMMARY:Welcome Back Rinpoche! Kata Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Please note–there is no fixed time for this event–due to travel\, timeline may vary! \nRinpoche will land in Monterey at 7:15pm on Friday\, August 29th\, 2025\, after leading the 18th Amitabha Dechen Shingdrup in Portland\, OR and Trout Lake\, WA for that past two weeks.   We will welcome our dear teacher with a traditional kata ceremony (white silk scarf used to show respect). It’s suggested that you come to the Manjushri Dharma Center by 7pm and plan to wait until 8pm–as due to travel\, Rinpoche may be home early or late.    Katas provided.  Offerings of flowers for the altar or healthy food (Rinpoche is diabetic) to stock his refrigerator is welcome! \nRinpoche will be very tired\, so after we welcome him home\, we will depart quickly and let him rest.   Please remember to let him rest in the coming week and honor the “monk’s office hours”–do not contact him prior to 12pm PT if possible.   (He uses the mornings for his personal practice). \nWe will all be together on Saturday\, August 30th for meditation if Rinpoche is up for it–please check the website to make sure it’s still on. \nWelcome back Rinpoche!
