SUMMARY:Tibetan Uprising Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, March 10th\, 2023 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm PST in-person at Windows on the Bay\, the corner of Del Monte and El Estero (703 Del Monte Ave\, Monterey\, CA 93940) as we join a day of international protests known as Tibetan Uprising Day. The event is being organized by Rinpoche’s niece Dechen and her partner Tenzin; if you’d like to register\, please check out their Facebook event page. Even in Rinpoche’s physical absence while he is on his Asia Tour 2023\, the annual event will continue! The annual protest on Tibetan Uprising Day is very special to Rinpoche\, an event that he has organized with the MDC annually for many years\, and he will be with us in spirit!\n \nSince the Chinese occupation in 1959\, more than one million Tibetans have been killed. To fly a Tibetan flag\, even mention His Holiness the Dalai Lama\, send an email abroad\, or say the phrase “human rights\,” is cause for imprisonment and torture. 99% of all Tibetan monasteries have been closed. These horrors and atrocities continue today throughout Tibet\, such as those recently in Drakgo\, Yarchen Gar\, Khamar Gonpa\, and many others. The situation is desperate and worsening; the Tibetan people and their culture are being systematically attacked. Yet\, they continue to stand up against this repression and violence in a non-violent way\, as they have each year for over 60 years. We cannot let the world forget. Please lend your voice to peace\, justice\, and freedom:  Support Tibet! \nPlease note: Protesters cannot step into the street or hand out leaflets to cars\, as per a city safety mandate. Signs will be provided\, or you may bring your own. We will be there rain or shine. \nWant to learn more about what is happening in Tibet?   Cannot join the protest in person\, but want to help take action?  Learn the latest and how you can help at the UK-based Free-Tibet website or the US-based Students For A Free Tibet.   \nMay all cultures and peoples live together in harmony and peace.

SUMMARY:Rinpoche Homecoming Welcome and Khata Ceremony!
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, March 19\, 2023\, our precious Lama will return to the Manjushri Dharma Center in Pacific Grove after a long tour throughout Asia. The local Sangha will welcome Rinpoche back with a traditional khata ceremony; we hope that all Rinpoche’s dear students and friends are able to make it to rejoice and give our Lama a heartfelt welcome home! Regarding the event\, here’s a message from MDC President\, David Winkler (Karma Dorje): \n“Precious MDC Sangha members: Rinpoche is scheduled to return to San Francisco at 3:50 P.M. on Sunday 19 March. Tenzin and Dechen will be picking him up and bringing him home to Pacific Grove. Many of us would like to be on hand to welcome him back to his California home. Assuming that it will take about 2 hours to make the drive and that it will take at least 1/2-1 hour for Rinpoche to get off the plane and collect his bags\, the earliest we could expect to welcome him home would be about 6:30. Tenzin will text me when they are leaving the airport\, so we will be able to fine-tune our preparations a bit on the fly. \nI’m guessing that Rinpoche will be pretty tired after his 11 hour flight\, and I think we don’t want to do anything more than make sure he has some food in the kitchen and greet him on either side of the walk into his home\, katas at the ready.  \nPlease let me know if you are planning to be there on Sunday evening\, and please pass the word to other Sangha members for whom I don’t have email addresses handy? \nBlessings and dry warmth to all\, \nWink/Karma Dorje” \nFor more information about the event\, please feel free to reach out to MDC Board Secretary\, Miles McBreen (Karma Palden) at montereymiles222@gmail.com  or 831 521-2954
