The Sakyong’s Birthday

Celebrations of the birth of the Sakyong, Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche take place yearly on November 15th, or on a day convenient for local Shambhala Centers. This year, personal or group birthday wishes may be sent to the Sakyong, who is in Boulder, by post through the Sakyong Ladrang:

The Sakyong Ladrang
Historic Highland Building
885 Arapahoe Ave.
Boulder, Colorado 80302

As in past years, centers may mark this occasion by practicing, chanting the supplication for the longevity of the Sakyong, playing tapes of his teachings, reading his poetry, and celebrating with food, poetry, and toasts.

“May your vast Buddha activity spread throughout the world!”
~ from the Supplication for the Longevity of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
