ཁ་སང་དགུན་ཉི་ལྡོག་པའི་ཉིན་མོ་ཀླུ་གཏོར་དང་རྒྱ་མཚོ་བྱིན་རླབས་ཐེངས་མ་ཉེར་བརྒྱད་པ་དེ་བྱས་པས་ཚང་མ་དགའ་མགུ་ཡི་རངས་བྱུང་སོང་། མཉམ་ཞུགས་གནང་མཁན་ཡོངས་ལ་བཀའ་དྲིན་ཆེ་ཞུ།
Yesterday, which was the winter solstice, we held a Water Blessing at the beach; this was the 28th ceremony held in Pacific Grove. This blessing of the waters and the 4 elements is the most important thing significant for all living beings. Thank you to all my friends, Sangha, and local community who participated. Tashi Delek

Thank you to Pema Tsultrim (Aaron Joseph) for coming to participate and be Rinpoche’s helper! Thank you so much also to Michael Martinez for bringing his piano to the beach and playing for all of us (and for bringing his sweet parents); Michael was also instrumental (pun intended) in MDC purchasing our new beach-ready wireless headset and amp. Thanks also to Tony Belmonte (Karma Choeying) for donating towards that purchase, and for designing the front and back cover of the new prayer book.
