Venerable Khenpo Lama Pema Wangdak teaches The Relevance of Faith at KSK on Friday, November 23, 6:00-8:00 pm.

“Faith goes before and, like a mother gives birth.
It causes all virtues to arise & grow.
Clearing away doubts & crossing the rivers,
faith symbolizes the city of happiness.”

KSK welcomes our dear friend Khenpo Pema Wangduk once again for a meaningful discussion of faith. Other events with Khenpo include a Tibetan Community Day on Saturday and a talk on Cultivating Compassion and Chenrezig meditation on Sunday at Tsechen Namdrolling at 2:00 pm.
Born in Purang, Western Tibet in 1954, Khenpo Pema Wangdak escaped with his family from Tibet in 1959, and resettled in Mundgod, South India. He is the only child of five to have survived the escape. He has been a monk since the age of 7. In 1982, he was sent to the West by His Holiness Sakya Trichen, as the first of the younger generation of Tibetan teachers in America from the Sakya School.
He is the creator of “Bur Yig”–Tibetan Braille. He is also the founder of Pema Ts’al (“Lotus Grove”) Schools in Mundgod, India (for Tibetan lay children); Pokara, Nepal (monastic schools for boys); and Pema Ts’al School in New York City. He received the distinguished “Ellis Island Medal of Honor” award by the National Ethical Coalition of Organizations in May, 2009 at Ellis Island for his humanitarian work around the world. He has been guiding Western students for over 30 years.
