Dear friends,

I want to share this beautiful news from Zurmang Buddhist Institute in Qinghai, which is in Eastern Kham. For the last three years, monks from 45 monasteries in the Kagyu lineage, have been seriously engaged in oral, written, and debate examinations for the Master’s Degree in Buddhist Studies. Out of hundreds of participants, only 30 monks were able to pass, and 17 of them are from the Zurmang Buddhist Institute. We are all very excited to hear this news, and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for your generous support in helping to fulfill this goal.
