Happy 14th Birthday to Tulku Tenzin Thardoe! Tulku Thardoe is doing well and in good spirits at our monastery in south India. He has now grown so tall, it is hard to imagine he is just turning 14! Tulku is now into his fourth year of philosophical debate studies at the monastery and this year is studying logic through the the topic of “Pramanavartika” or “Compendium of Valid Cognition” by the great Dharmakirti. Tulku continues to diligently attend class, lessons, and all of the monastery’s prayer ceremonies. Tulku is also currently doing a Mig-Tse-Ma retreat consisting of three sessions each day.

Tulku’s people skills make him a very popular individual at the monastery, and his skill in conversing make all interactions easy-going, in both Tibetan and English.

As we celebrate Tulku Tenzin Thardoe’s 14th birthday, we offer our sincere prayers towards Tulku’s health and long life, the success of his studies, and the fulfillment of all his holy aspirations. May he continue to bless us, and may Tulku’s wisdom and compassion guide our practices.
