Dear Dharma Centres, Brothers & Sisters,
Please be informed the 14th Namo Buddha Retreat will be held once again in Kathmandu, Nepal. The dates are fixed on 20 – 25 November 2011. The Sadhana will be Thousand Eye Thousand Arms Chenrezig. Those who are interested to join this Retreat are advised by V V Thrangu Rinpoche to do the Nyung Neh practice to achieve more benefits.

We have made reservations with Royal Nepal Airlines for 20 seats at RM1,800 (group fare bookings and subject to change) leaving on 17th November and returning 27 November 2011. Further, the Retreat fess, as usual, is RM1,000 which will be used to cover food and lodging at Namo Buddha Monastery and travelling to and from Boudha, Kathmandu to Namo Buddha Monastery. If time and circumstances permit, we will try to organise pilgrimage visits to some of the holy sites in and around Kathmandu. The detail programme and itinerary will be announced later to all confirmed participants shortly before departure. It is the fervent wish of the organising committee that all participants who wish to join the Retreat are encouraged to sign up with the organising committee so as to travel as one single group to minimise and to avoid logistics problems like visas, reservations for seats and hotel.
