2025 Pilgrimage to visit our Dharma family and friends at the Karma Chokor Dechen Ling Nunnery in Rumtek, Sikkim, India.

Hi, friends of Tig-Le,

I hope this message finds you all doing well and happy!

We are just back from our pilgrimage to Rumtek, Sikkim, to visit our Dharma family at the Karma Chokor Dechen Nunnery and friends at Nedo Monastery. It is a joy to be in the presence of the Ani’s (nuns) each day and their community.

Daily, we participate in Puja practice, meals, long walks, visits to historical sites, community activities, along with mindfulness and Buddhadharma teaching sessions for our travel group.The Ani are an inspiring embodiment of peace, Refuge and genuine care in this world. We send them all our love and continued support, and look forward to visiting again. Tashi Shog!
