Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo has just left me here in Singapore after some much needed quiet time and rest, she is now returning to our wonderful nuns at our DGL Nunnery.

Jetsunma had previously been on a visit to Australia consisted of giving teachings and taking part in Conferences where she was made so welcome, it also allowed some time to meet up with dear Monica.

The DGL nuns are busy this week as tomorrow is Vaisakha and the nuns start their first exam in the morning set by our wonderful Khenpo Ngawang. the nuns will then in the afternoon do Sojong (monastic confession ceremony) and then a 3 hour puja to Shakyamuni Buddha and the 16 Arhats.

As it is 40° there in India at the nunnery and of course no A/C even the breeze is hot. A few of the older nuns will

be very happy to escape to their mountain homes after their week of exams for a short visit soon and hopefully the monsoons will have started by the time they return.

In the meantime Jetsunma will settle to the job of reading through mountains of transcripts for a new book due to be published later this year.

Please return later this year and I promise many new designs when the web pages open again, this is small and a simple way to help our nunnery as all profits act as your personal donation.
