Vajra Dakini Nunnery

Message from H. H. Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche

We Buddhists need to work together for the good of the whole world. For the welfare of all, we need to practice the Buddha’s teachings on love and compassion in our daily lives and not just in monasteries, or just in prayers and rituals. Finally, by relying on the wisdom teachings of the Buddha, we can transcend all religious, ethnic, cultural, national, political and ideological differences to work together with all people of the world for a better future for all generations and lifetimes to come.

May we be blessed with the guidance of the Three Jewels!
