    JUNE 27: SOUL RETRIEVAL

    The Bn believe that the soul is the foundation of the life force and is thereforeintegral to all sentient beings. Occasionally, the soul can unknowingly separate

    from the body-mind collective causing a variety of negative effects from mild

    discomfort to death. While a persons life force may be present, there is the

    possibility that the soul has wandered away. This disharmony between the soul

    and life force severely weakens the individuals energy allowing obstacles and

    illness to take hold. To remedy these negative things, the Tantric ritual of soul

    retrieval becomes necessary.

    The experience of the Soul Retrieval and Ransom ritual is also a beautiful and

    moving way to deepen understanding of the ancient cultural heritage at the heart

    of the Bn spiritual tradition.

    JUNE 28: LIBERATING ANIMALS

    Traditionally in Tibet the practice of Tsethar (Saving Lives) was common. Animals like

    yaks and sheep would be bought and let go to lead their natural lives. Our situation is

    little different since we dont have enough space to house these animals. So Gyalshen

    Institute is organizing a Saving Lives event where we will save the lives of animals that

    live on water, land and air. We will buy animals that were trapped to be killed or caged

    and release them in a way that is in accordance with the environmental laws of the

    land. We will also make sure that those are animals which can survive in freedom once

    they are released.

    Saving lives is one of the most compassionate acts that a person can perform andbenefits not only the animals in question but the people who save their lives. This

    kindness blesses individuals with good health and spiritual wellbeing for this life as well

    as future lives. Chaphur Rinpoche

    DONATION $75 for both days, or $40 one day only. If you plan to attend either of these auspicious events,

    Note: Even if you are unable to attend the animal release event you can make monetary donations 100% of which

    will be used to bu animals to be saved.
