Free Eye Camp

On June 14th Shaptung Rinpoche, his wife and son, Tumden La and Dr. Lobsang Tsetim came to Kaza. Two years ago Shaptung Rinpoche's organization, Tibetans for a Vegetarian Society (T4VS), and Kachen Dugyal Memorial Society's Spitians for a Vegetarian Society (S4VS), performed Tsether, a Buddhist tradition in which many animals were released by their owners, for the long life of H.H. the Dalai Lama and World Peace. People of Spiti released two hundred sheep, goats, and cows.
