Holy Objects Blessings

HE Ling Rinpoche will be driven to the Stupa Project at 4:30pm and then will walk to the Wish Fulfilling Temple. From Wish Fulfilling Temple. We will then drive Rinpoche back to the main campus for his private dinner before the public talk.

We request that guests limit driving on the roads in the upper campus between 4:30 – 5:30pm so HE Ling Rinpoche’s car has priority of the roads and we don’t have traffic jams. Please only walk between areas rather than driving. If mobility is a challenge we recommend choosing a Holy Object site and being dropped off there by 4:30pm and waiting for Rinpoche’s arrival.

Parking

We will have a parking team in place to help direct you. We would like to keep the lower lots available for our elderly community and less abled guests. If you are fit and healthy please park in the meadow. Our team will be able to assist you if you are unfamiliar with the location of the Meadow.

Dinner

Dinner will be offered to all guests, we please request that you register your attendance so we can cater appropriately. There is a separate “I’m coming for dinner” option, please be sure to select this.

Opportunities for Generosity

With the wish to make this precious event and dinner available to everyone, we are committed to offering this event free of charge.  We are still seeking sponsors to help cover the event.  Your contribution will help cover essential costs such as HE Ling Rinpoche’s dinner, dinner for attendees, offerings in the gompa, and transportation costs.

For those that donate $250 or more, we would like to offer reserved priority seating within the gompa and VIP parking.
