Tashi Delek!

Hope you are safe and well. 

I have finally finished doing the summary on the actual bodhisattva vows (18 major transgressions and 46 secondary misdeeds) and it is now available on Khacholing website (khacholing.org).

Since we are on winter break, it is a good time for a short quiz, a self-assessment on the bodhisattva vows. If your time permits, I would be very pleased to receive your answers via email (lobsyeshi007@gmail.com). Some questions have factual answers, others require your own opinion. **There will be prizes for the best presented answers! (Winners will receive them after the Covid restrictions are lifted). 

Wishing you all happy holidays and best wishes for the new year.

Sincerely,

Drupa Rinpoche
