The Annual Spring Festival at KPC in Maryland is scheduled for May 12, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., rain or shine! Activities are planned for all ages: a moonbounce, face painting, and crafts for kids, and for adults, massages, astrology and Tarot card readings. Music, Tibetan food, and gifts galore! What a great occasion to relax, browse, and pick up that special gift for Mom! Or treat Mom to a massage and delicious lunch.
Have time to volunteer? We would love your help setting up tents, tables and activities for kids, assisting with mini-workshops, cooking, and cleaning up. If you are available, please contact Sandra Furton: KPCevents@gmail.com
His Holiness Penor Rinpoche will be coming to KPC-Maryland earlier than expected this year! The following dates have been confirmed: June 15 - 17. More details to follow--watch future issues of the Mandala Messenger.
His Holiness is the head of Palyul lineage, and Root Guru of Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, KPC Spiritual Director. His last visit to Maryland was in August 2006.
In the interest of developing a *MUCH* better website, which will allow a great deal of interaction and community building capacity to this site, we have decided to implement a new site using the celebrated Drupal CMS (http://www.drupal.org).
We appologize that the original site is down and unavailable; however, unfortunately, Rodrigo experienced some major difficulties with his ISP prompting the actions we have now taken.
This site is now being hosted via the generosity of Network Strategies, Inc. (http://www.networkstrategies.com)
