Please forgive the format. I am using my phone. I just got this as did

many others at my dharma center. They went there on a trip once. This

came to me vie the email co-ordinator at my center. My Lama has family

unaccounted for there. The name " Tacho " is his wife. Please pray for

all people and animals displaced, injured, or killed in this incident.

Thank you. Randy.

This update is being sent to people who were on the trip to Yushu in

2004 or who are closely connected to this situation.

Lama la met with me on the schedule this morning, and said Tacho had

been able to get through to Kamtsum again.

Updates:

80 - 90 percent of all buildings destroyed overall.

Thrangu Monastery is completely destroyed, but only 20-30 monks died. It

was relatively fortunate.

Do you remember on the day we visited Thrangu Gompa we also went to

Tenga Rinpoche's Monastery, Penchen?

That monastery was also destroyed, but horribly, almost everyone there

died. Over a hundred monks and Lamas.

Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche's sister is one of the dead.

There will be a lot more.

There is a new onus to money raising for the garage sale; Kailash is

going to be full of people who have lost their families. (As many of you

know, Tibetans do Kora or undertake pilgrimage when relatives die)

It is going to be a tremendous opportunity for Lama la to benefit the

survivors.

In dharma, bethla
