Dear Members and Friends of Shambhala,

I hope all of you are doing well this summer and that your family, practice, and work is fulfilling. As for myself, I am doing very well.

I wanted to give you all an update since Rinpoche and I made our big announcement on Shambhala Day.

Since then, I was able to travel to India and Nepal to visit my family and see Rinpoche into his retreat.

I have now returned home to the Kalapa Court in Halifax. I am doing well and growing bigger. I am doing lots of practice and also walking a lot. I will soon be joined by my mother and sister.

I am happy to say that Rinpoche just returned from his first six months of retreat. He has come back to be with me at home and to lead a few key programs. He is very cheerful and radiant. So we are all doing well.

I have been hearing that many people in our community are practicing which is very wonderful and please continue to do so.

I just wanted to share with you all how I am doing since it feels like we are going through this together. I can feel all of your love and support very strongly.

Much love to all,
Sakyong Wangmo
Dechen Chöying Sangmo
