Dear Friends

We hope that you are doing well.
We are pleased that we are able to share with you these photos of the fruits of our recent support in Rigul village.

Our patron, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, has forwarded these photographs and says that the school is doing very well.

The people of Rigul send their heartfelt thanks and immense gratitude to everyone who is supporting the school and clinic and the basic sanitation projects.

JULY- SUMMERCAMP

There was a gathering in Portugal of people from all over the world for Ringu Tulku’s annual summer camp for the study of Buddhist teachings and meditation.

The summer camp was a great opportunity for raising awareness and funds for Ringu Tulku’s homeland of Rigul inTibet.
A total of 1,400 euros was generously donated to Rigul Trust. About 40,000 euros is needed every year to maintain the school, the health clinic and basic sanitation.

JUNE – HH KARMAPA FIRST EVER VISIT TO EUROPE

This year we had the good fortune to have a short audience with HH Karmapa and briefly explained what Rigul Trust was supporting in Rigul.

There were three main topics which we wished to highlight with His Holiness. These involved issues which concerned:
more nunneries in Tibet,
the impact of a lack of disposal strategies for dealing with the increasing amounts of plastic rubbish,
and also our interest in promoting modern educational support for children and young people across the Himalayan region. We asked HH how we could help in the areas of Nepal, Ladakh etc.
Knowing education to be an area of keen interest to HH we enquired how we could aid his vision in whatever way that we could.
His Holiness engaged with this and said that he would discuss it with Ringu Tulku.

We were able to sell copies Chenrezig books and DVDs of Ringu Tulku’s Buddhist teachings.
We also received very generous donations for small deity cards produced from the beautiful paintings
by R D Salga, renowned thanka painter from Kathmandu, and the brother of Ringu Tulku.
