A Visit by Lochen Rinpoche

The Reverend T.K. Lochen Tulku Rinpoche, the XIXth Incarnation of Lotsawa Rinchen Zangpo, Spiritual Head and Director of Key Gompa, kindly visited the KDM Society Girls Hostel in Kaza on Wednesday July 14, 2010 where he gave a profound discourse on the Dharma to a crowded room of hostel residents, staff and visitors.

The discourse covered the Four Noble Truths, Dependent Origination and Buddhist Ethics. This was followed by questions from the audience, which Lochen Rinpoche answered, as well as giving advice from His Holiness the Dalai Lama on these subjects. The hostel girls ended the visit with a respectful and joyful offering to Lochen Rinpoche of traditional Spiti dance and song. Lochen Rinpoche expressed His happiness at visiting the hostel and giving the Dharma teaching, and donated 2000 Rupees to the Kachen Dugyal Memorial Society Girls Hostel.

From deep in our hearts resident girls, hostel staff and supporters express our gratitude to the Reverend Lochen Rinpoche for his visit, Teaching and donation, and hope to be blessed again by his presence at the hostel.
